Quilt Embroidery Inspired by 1940’s and 50’s

The design in this little block of the crazy quilt was inspired by stitching I found on an old pillowcase. I believe that Grandma’s quilt was done in the 1940’s or maybe the 50’s, so I thought I’d give homage to craft stitching from that same time period. 




Here’s where this block started.



That original fabric was just too thin and dry rotten to stitch on top, so I replaced it with something a little heavier than muslin.
