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.      
Lovely large double antique hand stitched lightweight
quilt in pale clotted cream and white. In good overall condition, one rust mark on the white side that I am afraid to treat
harshly as may cause trouble for the cream side £175.00
     This is the first of a collection of hand stiched quilts which I believe are Welsh from the patterns, some have wool batting and all are exquisitely hand quilted. This one is pink on one side and coffee au lait on the other 75 inches x69 inches in excellent condition ,one watermark in one corner edge which has faded on the first wash £100     Blue and pink Welsh sampler quilt 77 inches
x 68 inches good condition £100     A second single measuring 71 inches x 62 inches
, so almost a pair , certainly identical in colour and design, In good condition only a tiny nibble
on one corner. This is filled with wool batting . priced at £90.00
    Three baby quilts beautifully stitched 2 blue with pink on reverse , one pink with peach on reverse 36 inches x 24 inches lovely piped edge , just perfect to put baby on to kick their legs or for the pram. £45.00 each   
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
