We've been traveling this summer and I've been photographing some great quilts in museums. I thought you might like to see them too.

Oh that last one has "made by the Amish" written all over it!
ReplyDeleteTALENT!
It's always so fun to see old quilts. Is the one a nursery rhyme quilt?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting Bonnie! Especially that last quilt. Am I seeing it correctly? That the dark blue sections have a different piecing pattern in them? Or is that a cheater piece of cloth?
ReplyDeleteThe second was a wonderful nursery rhyme quilt from the turn of the century. It had the cutest panels with such wonderful embellishments.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loved the Amish quilt.
Anna, you have an astute eye. That is a pieced pattern in the dark field. All of the diamonds are from dark fabric and are pieced. The lighting was not good and the quilts were hung in plexiglass display boxes that swiveled.
Hi Bonnie, I really love the quilts. I have three antique quilts at our home in New Hampshire. There is so much history involved in the making of them. You wonder about each piece of fabric in them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, I forgot to mention that I have added your blog to my blogroll. I know people will enjoy finding and reading your blog. I think our blogs are similar in that we write about a variety of things.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie
ReplyDeleteI guess I had your blog stuck on the rug post and thought all this time you were still traveling. Love the animal quilt!!!!!!
Glad you are home safe and sound.
We are traveling in our little trailer now and am getting loads of rug making, knitting, and quilting done.
Good to be reading your posts again

Hi Bonnie! Oh my goodness! The quilts are miraculous! One of these days I hope the quilting bug bites me very hard. I love fabric so much. I love coming over here! I'm glad you are back!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom was a quilter...she made beautiful quilts. I love the last one here!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. My leeks were easy to grow! You should try it next year. They do take all summer though.
I really admire the crafstmanship and creativity of quilters. I love looking at the quilts, but have never tried quilting. I don't think I have the patience, but I sure love fabric.
