Vintage Treasures
We all seem to love those vintage treasures, especially when they happen to be quilts. Since many of us are working on our Dresden quilts I thought you might enjoy seeing pictures of a few vintage ones today.
I was lucky enough to find this one on eBay last year for $28.00!
My friend Nancy found this beauty in Sisters Oregon. I’m not sure what she paid for it but something tells me it was more than $28.00.
It’s pieced with wool, silk and cotton, and embroidered with floss and yarn!
Just look how sweet this one of Nancy’s is…
Sometimes you can find unfinished blocks like these…
…Or, maybe you’ll find a few finished blocks…
…with a stack of other blocks waiting to be completed. (I bought these on eBay last year.)
Vintage quilts are waiting to be discovered and part of the fun is in the hunt!
Wonder if there’s a vintage quilt on eBay just waiting for you! Wouldn’t hurt to have a look!
Hugs,
Anne
UPDATE: I had Pinterest spelled wrong in my newsletter. I wrote it 100 times on a piece of paper and FINALLY I know how to spell it!

Vintage quilts are so special! I don’t have any myself, but my Mom has a lovely collection, handing down by my Grandmother. By the way, I adore how your Dresdan quilt is coming along. Just beautiful! Tomorrow I am heading down to my local quilt shop to do some fabric shopping for baby. Lucky for me, they carry a large selection of your fabrics and patterns =)

– they are really wonderful quilts Anne- I have never checked ebay for vintage quilts- I am almost afraid to- I could get myself into so much trouble I am sure…. It is hard to find many vintage things locally- I marvel at what is available in your antique stores in the States… There is a collectible place here in the city in which I live but usually not much textiles- I will have to check out their other site- perhaps there is more in the other store… And there is always Ebay.. thanks for sharing your treasures…
