Different fabric strips stitched and embroidered upon then sewn together to form a quilt. Maroon, yellow, red, blue, a lot of earthtones. Pic by me. An embroidered bird is featured on one scrap of the quilt.
Crazy quilt hanging on a clothesline near palm trees and an old house. Pic by me.
Close up of crazy quilt with stitches and embroidered fabric scraps sewn together.
Crazy quilt squares pieced together in a simple grid. Embroider pieces mingles with various sizes and shapes of fabric. Pic by me.
Here’s some examples of an American Crazy Quilt that has been past down in a family since the 1890s. They would stitch random shapes fabrics into squares, then piece the squares together. I’ve seen some with no discernible pattern, but there usually a theme or family history. #americanfolklore

A woman stands outdoors at dusk holding an old lantern with a lit candle. She wears an olive “Watchman — Paranormal Field Guide” T-shirt featuring a vintage-style illustration of a mysterious figure. A red holiday bow sits in the upper left corner, and the Monster & Myth logo appears in the lower right. The scene is moody and evokes rural ghost-lore.
The Watchman tee is a perfect eerie Christmas gift.

The gray man of Pawley’s Island
For day, six of folktale week, the prompt was “storm”
I decided to draw the gray man. Legend has it, he died tragically while coming to see his fiancé. My wife and I were married here, so it has some significance to us! #pawleysisland #americanfolklore #folktaleweek

I am going to watch 355 because it has such a badass name, but I am slightly bitter that it has nothing to do with the actual 355. #whoisanna #isitanna #culperring #herculesmulligan #cato #independance #spyring #woodhull #tallmadge #townsend #history #americanfolklore

A shadowy black panther-like creature with glowing red eyes crouches on a wooded hillside at dusk. Mist drifts through the forest as the beast stares forward, evoking the folkloric Ozark Howler.
The Ozark Howler is described as a black, horned beast with glowing red eyes. Part panther, part phantom, its howl still echoes in the mountain folklore. From backwoods legends to modern memes, it refuses to be forgotten.
