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!
Please follow me on Pinterest not Pintrest.

Love your antique samples. We’ve become Foster Parents to quite a few, many not pristine or perfect, but love each as individuals. And don’t worry about the misspelling. I think I’ve become oblivious to them, what with Twitter and Texting. Anyway you spell it, I’m following you. One of my earliest pins goes back to when you first posted that beautiful picture of your studio and pink Featherweight! Thank you for all you share with us.
