Crazy Ties

Description & History

We've come up with two possible names for this quilt - "The Minister's Crazy Quilt" or "The Crazy Minister's Quilt". Which do you like better?

Major the Reverend Jim Short doesn't golf, or curl, or do any of a dozen things members of our congregation have invited him for. His recreational pastime - Garage Sailing! Jim loved the colours in this vintage crazy patchwork made from old ties, and hand-embroidered with colourful embroidery cottons. His wife Cathy didn't, so it joins our varied auction quilts in the hope of finding another new home. How about yours?

"I remember the days of old, I think about all your deeds, I meditate on the works of your hands, I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land." Psalm 143:5
