Crazy Quilts & String Quilts
Crazy quilts seem to have no rhyme or reason; the shapes are all mis-matched, as are the fabrics. Some crazy quilts feature silks and wools, and have wonderful surface embroidery joining the pieces. Others are done in cotton are are pieced together in a more traditional sense.
String quilts consist of very narrow strips of fabric strung (or pieced) side by side. This type of quilting became popular during the Great Depression as it allowed women to use every single scrap of fabric they had. The groupings of the strung together pieces were then sometimes cut into shapes like stars, or sashed with crosses.

from 12 reviewsI am so happy that I got one of these bags because it is so cute! It’s also well made and the perfect size for a small project.
I absolutely love this bag. I want one in every size and shape.
Wonderfully soft & cozy popover, with a generous pocket for holding stuff while I potter round the house. I’m very taken with the different colorful feedsack fabrics, including the cutest print with tiny bunny rabbits - a very sweet detail. I like the zig zag hem which follows the edge of the original quilt.
This coat was a splurge for me so I hemmed and hawed for a long time before buying it, and am SO delighted I did. It’s cozy and comforting, easy to wear with everything, and I’ve had lots of compliments on it. Best of all are the darling patterns on the vintage scraps - a cheerful riot of color - and I love wearing something that someone long ago took the effort to piece together by hand. And it’s environmentally sound as a well-made up-cycled item. My favorite garment!
Beautiful! Perfect size for small projects. The canvas lining makes it very sturdy and gives it a very finished look. The woven handles are just the right length. There is love in every stitch of this construction. I also have the small and large size in this Maker Caddy and I love them. Would love to see a notions pocket added in the inside.
Beautifully made! Love it for my sock or small shawl project. 😺
I absolutely LOVE the item I received from M.A.B.E.L.!! They’re exactly as pictured and even better in person! ♥️
