Pretty " shabby chic " antique
Durham , very soft and quite strong freshly washed.
It is a good sized double shown on a standard double bed
It has some wear along the top of one end and one hole which
is the size of a 50p piece approx. one mark that needs more work
On the reverse the wear along the top has been patched ( badly ) it would be better in
one long piece. It has a small patch near end of bed.
This
is a really nice old quilt and still has lots of life to live.

Fantastic padded applique quilt, has
been through a good wash as was dis-coloured through long storage It has fantastic quilting and superb workmanship,there are
a few minor repairs needed as the padded centre of some of the flowers need replacing,not too difficult I think one tiny ink
spot and a mark which I think was a result of me trying to photograph outside ! 72 inches wide x 90 inches long, soo pretty
£200 .00
Fabulous finds just in
This is a lovely example of an early Victorian heavily
quilted patchwork worn but still fabulous , having a second life as a Hanging
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
This is
a 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.

| Wonderful range of traditional colours |

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.
I am trying to keep my site up to date on quilts
that are available at this time.
If
you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I can always send you more pictures.
