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 doccument 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.

From practical uses simply to keep warm through to
works of skill and artistic design the quilt has been with us in many forms for hundreds of years.
Patchwork in its many designs was always a way to
recycle favourite fabrics or as a leisure pursuit.

| 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 doccument items.
I hang them on the wall as works of Art.
