Q8649 Red & White Lemon Peel / Rob Peter to Pay Paul c. 1870 73 x 88 Maine $2100 A wonderful early pattern is showcased on this very graphic red and white quilt. Just two fabrics were used: a red and dark pink pattern, and solid white. This indicates the maker was probably from an affluent family as enough of this fabric was purchased to create this quilt rather than making use of “scrap” fabrics on hand. Blocks measure 6 ½” square and are both hand and machine pieced. Curved pieces are more difficult to execute well so the creator of this quilt was an experienced seamstress. Quilting is stitched entirely by hand in echo outline and parallel lines throughout. The backing is white and the ½” binding is treadle machine topstitched in the same red fabric as used on the front. The end result is a harmonious and graphic piece of textile art. This is a wonderful quilt for use on a bed or would be equally as beautiful hung on a wall. Professionally hand washed by Betsey and in excellent condition. Quilts are always sent on approval. |

Q8648 Red & White Diamond in a Square / Ohio Star / Geese in Flight c.1865 69 x 79 NH SOLD A host of early patterns have come together in this Civil War era creation to produce a jewel of an antique quilt! This two color quilt uses a single Turkey red miniature floral print paired with an off-white cotton. A unique quilt in which the designer has alternated the 7 ½” Diamond in a Square and Ohio Star blocks to create the central design which is surrounded by a 2 ¾” Geese in Flight border. This creates movement and interest for the viewer's eye while still maintaining a sense of serenity. An off-white linen backing folds over to the front and is treadle machine stitched down to form the ¼” binding. The treadle machine binding, in addition to the purchased calico yardage, indicates the family was of very comfortable means. The hand quilting includes outline, cross and parallel lines spaced ¾” apart. This is a wonderfully soft yet graphic presentation which showcases the quilter’s imagination and pleasing design sense. This piece has been lovingly used and cared for, however it does have some slight shadowing, even after multiple washings, which we choose to call character. It in no way diminishes the beauty of this quilt. Professionally had washed by Betsey. Quilts are always sent on approval! |

CON PW1 Red & White Hearts with Swags Applique c.1878 84 x 84 Probably New England or New York $1950 A sophisticated design in classic red and white! This completely hand appliqued beauty has grace as well as stunning graphics. Lovingly used this quilt shows some fade in the Turkey red which does not diminish its timeless appeal. Sixteen 11 ½ inch appliquéd medallions, each with 4 hearts in the center, are surrounded by an 8 1/2 inch border crowned with four long floral tipped swags. Skillful hand quilting consists of cross hatching in the appliqued medallion squares, double parallel lines in the swag border accented with teardrop quilting. There is double line echo quilting outlining the white triangles and a feather quilting design radiating out from the centers of each white joining block. Wow ! The backing and 1/4 " binding are the same fine white cotton as used on the front . A lovely work of art, softly faded with time – we should all age as gracefully. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |

Turkey red and white is always a favorite and this time of year it’s very festive as well. Organized and geometric this antique hand made and hand quilted piece makes a very graphic statement that will be the focus of any room. The Garden Maze is a very early pattern originating in New England during the 1830’s which then migrated to Pennsylvania. All latticework strips in solid Turkey red fabric measure 1 ½ inches wide. The ¼ inch white binding is formed from the white backing being turned to the front and hand stitched. In excellent condition this crisp and beautiful quilt also has lovely quilting with outline used in the Turkey red, 1 ½ inch cross hatching in the white squares and diagonal lines in the oblongs. Celebrate the season with this wonderfully bright and festive quilt that is also perfect for year round display. With this red and white beauty you can’t go wrong! Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |

CON DD Redwork Quilt Top: dated 1890, appears finished c.1930-1950 74 x 95 Maine $1,600 Whimsy and sophistication pair up to create the perfect piece of textile art for your collection! The striking and nicely balanced red and white palette in a block and frame pattern form small stages on which each fine hand embellishment can perform. This beautifully hand embroidered quilt includes such designs as owls with a smiling moon and stars, birds flying over a fish filled stream, figures with stately postures, lovely floral still lifes, frolicking animals and even a teapot, each embroidered in white on a 7 ¼ inch square red block set on point. 2 ¼ inch white bands with stylized leaves done in red embroidery connect the squares and form a beautiful frame around each block. The gorgeous antique top, dated 1890, appears to have been finished as a quilt at a later date, c.1930 – 1950, believed to be by a family member. The backing is white muslin with a ¼ inch applied binding also in white and all hand quilting on this piece has been done in the ditch - the reason Betsey realized this quilt was finished at a later date. In excellent condition this is truly a beautiful piece of textile art. More family information available upon purchase. |

CON RJ10 Original Folk Art and Stars with Autograph Book c.1889 72 x 72 Rhinebeck, New York $3,600 This lively, original folk art quilt comes with family provenance. Included with this wonderfully graphic textile is the quilter’s red velvet bound autograph book filled with sentiments from friends, family and teachers! In loved but excellent condition, Turkey red fabric was fashioned into folk art leaves, eight point stars, and a flower blossom stem, and hand appliquéd to a white cotton background. A layered appliquéd star medallion with diamond accents fills the center of the quilt, and a 2 ¾ inch sawtooth border with a 3/8 inch separately applied Turkey red binding finishes the quilt. Interestingly, the top and batting were treadle machine topstitched with pink thread in leaf and doodle motifs before the white cotton backing was added and hand outline quilted with white thread. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |

Q8436 Alphabet Crib Quilt c.1920 32 ½ x 46 Northeast (New England or Pennsylvania) $2,200 This graphically creative little quilt would be perfect in so many places; a pediatrician or veterinarian’s office, a child’s room, or for that matter, any room owned by a child at heart! In barely used condition, the Turkey red letters and animals have been hand appliqued and embellished. The 2 ¾ inches sashing has been created by topstitching 3/8 inch strips of Turkey red over the quilt top in a grid pattern. The crosshatch hand quilting inside the sashing is 5/8 inches apart, and outside the sashing is 1 ¼ inches apart. The center rectangle has been diagonally quilted to create a large diamond and crosshatch quilted in a 5/8 inch grid in the remaining area. The 3/8 inch Turkey red binding has been separately applied, and the backing is white cotton. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |

QT246 Redwork Quilt Top Dated 1892 78 x 88 found in Port Townsend, Washington $850 This redwork piece was originally made as a summer coverlet. If desired, this incredible textile could be backed and quilted or simply used as is over a down comforter. The condition is very good, there are a few places along the block seams where the decorative herringbone stitching is missing, but the price reflects any imperfections. The Turkey red thread has faded over time as true Turkey red does with use. This is a fabulous piece for any redwork fan, with many skillfully embroidered designs and a wonderfully creative and unusual border. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |
