A popular pastime 200 years ago, crazy quilts were made from spare scraps of fabric and sewn with fancy stitches, sometimes for fun and sometimes to teach children to sew. Guest artist Risa Puno, whose work is currently displayed on the front lawn of King Manor, will lead the activity and talk about her own work.
