Go to Sharon Boggen's website and you will see some incredible stuff and a stitch library for learning stitches. ..her quilts are pieces of art rather than usable quilts....silk ribbon and beads on them...gorgeous.
I have nver seen the wool crazy quilts...very interesting....do you follow Sue Spargo? Her stuff is good too in wool.

Now the silk I used for sashing was expensive and aged me more than I can say. Those threads just crawled out of the seams and were all over the place. I'm a quilter, I'm used to threads - but not like this OMG!!!! The quilt turned out great.

The Kerville quilt shop is called "Creations" and they have a website: Creations.com.
Sue Spargo's stuff is so neat! Really gives a bright, refreshing change to wool projects. I would love to attend one of her workshops some day.
