Crazy Quilt // Vintage Quilt Sunday
A few months ago, I spoke to my friend Linda's quilt guild, Needlechasers. Needlechasers has an upcoming Quilt Show with a really cool raffle quilt called Dragon Tails--you should check it out! Anyway, Linda sent me a note when I started this series about her fellow guild member's stunning vintage quilt. She even went the extra mile and helped get Cathy's quilt photographed and sent to me. Thank you, Linda!
Cathy shared this about her quilt:
This is a quilt which we bought some 30 years ago from a dealer from Pennsylvania at an antique show at the DC Armory. We don't know the history behind it but love the workmanship -- lots of embroidery in every block and three dimensional fruits and flowers in the borders. We have it hanging on a wall in our living room where we see it every day and it adds a great richness to the room.
Vintage Quilt Pinterest BoardI am looking for quilts that are beautiful, quilts that have great stories, quilts that are funky or fun, quilts that are unique, quilts that were made by your great great grandmother--basically, great vintage quilts. I will be posting on Sundays, and once a month I plan to post a block tutorial based on one of the vintage quilts featured here.
