Crazy Quilt
by Rosaleen Bruce

 

LARGE VIEW | DETAIL

This wonderful example of crazy quilting was made by a Metis woman from the Turtle Mountain region of North Dakota in the 1920s. It shows the influence of Chippewa beadwork in the rich floral motifs and animal figures. The finely crafted embroidery took years of work to complete this luxurious bed sized quilt from silks and velvets.
