The lovely early red and white quilt below is my
latest quilt, I think the pattern is " Irish Chain " it has been neglected and despite that is pretty sound.There
is one stain that needs a bit more work and there is some fading at the edge.It is more coverlet weight than heavy quilt.
Good needlework throughout.

Some damaged and worn quilts can have a second life,
they are brilliantly designed and have a range of early fabrics which in themselves have a story to tell and are a document
of their time.
Often made from the
personal clothes of the maker.
I rescue
these treasures to use as works of Art! They look wonderful on a wall.
I wish I had more walls ! In Muckleford I could ( as many will remember ) drape them
everywhere.
The early red and white
log cabin hangs in my spare room, the wear in it looks almost intentional, this one was rescued under another layer
of creton from the 30's lovingly hand quilted so it took days ...well worth the effort
This is
a huge four poster bed sized coverlet. I think late 1800's from the fabrics although there are earlier fabrics in it.
I have the right period fabrics in good condition if required.
There is no doubt it is worth restoring, it is
hand stitched and hand quilted.
The quilt is very clean as it was laundered so what is there now is sound.

As it has not been possible to go to the USA of late, I
have been concentrating on collecting early English quilts. Log Cabin and Frame quilts are my favourite patterns. I have found
some really early examples from early to mid 19 cent fabrics, sooo exciting !! These quilts do tend to be a bit distressed
but the colours are amazing and they make wonderful document items. I hang them on the wall as works of Art.
