Reproduction quilts

A couple of weekends ago I was able to visit a semi-annual quilt show at a beautiful old estate outside of Salt Lake City. I’ve gone before and look forward to it every other year. The estate itself is gorgeous and the beautiful weather that weekend made it even better. This weekend I am away at the Sewing Summit and so I will leave you with some pictures of beautiful quilts in a pretty setting to keep you entertained while I am gone. It’s called “Quilt Show in Barn” but this is a pretty…

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt and the books that go with it provide an exciting glimpse into farm life during the 1920s!

I just LOVE the way this quilt came out. I am really drawn to one block quilts at the moment. I think the Wild Goose Wednesday quilt I made several years ago started the whole thing.

Someone on the facebook group, Humble Quilts- (Click HERE if you want to join) mentioned they stopped by the Bennington Museum to see Jane Stickle's sampler quilt while it was still on display. One day I'd love to see it in person! 24 years ago (wow!) I started to make this amazing sampler with only a book that had line drawings. As you can see I still embraced the humble quilts way, just as Jane Stickle did and many quilters before us. This was the first and last time I made a scalloped…
