Both! Allie Aller\u2019s passion for quilting drives her to spend four to five hours every day in her studio, and the crazy quilt technique is one of her favorites. The only thing that rivals her love of quilting is her flower garden. Her garden is an integral part of her life. \u201cI don\u2019t know if the garden influences my quilting or my quilting influences the garden,\u201d Allie said. \u201cThey are that connected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cThere were no needlewomen in my immediate family,\u201d Allie confessed. However, the stitching bug hit her hard when an older cousin, who used appliqu\u00e9 as her medium for illustrations in the 1960 and 70s, opened her fabric stash and said, \u201ctake what you want.\u201d Allie was completely intrigued. \u201cThat one act of generosity changed my life,\u201d Allie said.<\/span><\/p>

Allie\u2019s quilting has traversed several phases, each of which she passionately pursues until she feels that the genre has run its course; then, she changes to another technique. Like many of us, she started with traditional quilting then became interested in raw edge landscape collage quilting. Next, she explored broderie perse. Allie recalled, \u201cCutting out floral fabrics got me through little league games.\u201d Next, while visiting a church with her brother, she noticed the beautiful stained-glass windows depicting landscape scenes. Gold leaf covered the lead, and she immediately set out to replicate those windows in fabric and even authored a book on her stained-glass technique.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Allie with a work in progress called Stacy\u2019s Quilt, inspired by the hand dyed sky fabric that Allie has worked with for more than 30 years (by Stacy Michell).<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cThen crazy quilting hit me like a Mack truck,\u201d Allie remembered. She was given four industrial sized trash bags full of slightly smokey smelling fabric samples after a fire in a local decorator\u2019s shop. The bags included beautiful textiles that she hadn\u2019t yet used in quilts like dupioni silk, velvet, jacquard, and Belgium linen. That same week, she attended her first beading conference. The beads plus the fabric samples were almost too much for her. \u201cI always had a problem following a pattern, and crazy quilting is all about improvisational decisions. Everything was a new design decision. I immediately took to it. It was so much fun. I was delirious with joy,\u201d Allie recalled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

She continued down her crazy quilting path for 14 years, often spending up to one year on a quilt. Allie joked, \u201cI\u2019m a monogamous quilter. I\u2019m true to one project at a time.\u201d She described her quilt <\/span>Crazy for Flowers<\/span><\/i> as the \u201chigh water mark of my crazy quilt genre.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

But she discovered that the naked blocks of the crazy quilt top were often finished in a couple of weeks, and she spent the rest of the time on embellishments. She missed playing with fabric. So during COVID-19, she completed 23 quilt rescues \u2014 repairing and salvaging old quilts that satisfied her need to touch fabric and deeply connect with her quilting heritage.<\/span><\/p>

Allie has won multiple awards, but one of the best was winning the grand prize in a 2012\u00a0 <\/span>Dollfus-Mieg et Compagnie<\/span> (DMC) <\/span>thread essay contest. The prize included a week in Paris, a trip to the DMC factory and archives, and thread in every color they made. Her studio includes this \u201cwall of thread.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

She has plenty of plans, including a solo exhibit at the Texas Quilt Museum in the fall of 2024. Her newest direction consists of using international textiles from different times in history and combining them harmoniously in a very personal way to reflect her desire for world peace. Another future project may be a children\u2019s book illustrated in fabric.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Allie's Blue Plaid Crazy Quilt (2023) is the quilt she uses in her hammock. It incorporates several of her favorite elements: plaids, crazy piecing and embroidery, as well as some 1930\u2019s embroidered textiles and antique lace. The pillow is composed of vintage textiles as well.\n<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Allie has lived in Washougal, Washington for 33 years, and says the rain doesn\u2019t bother her nor does the cloudy weather. \u201cThe sky is always moving, and that makes me happy,\u201d Allie said. This weather is also conducive to her thriving flower garden. Her husband, Robert, is a master gardener and plants the vegetable garden, which he maintains in a very measured and precise manner, while her flowers are wild and flowing \u2014 very much like her crazy quilts.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
