My specialty and passion is finding and refurbing or finishing truly vintage quilts! I take great pride in each piece that I repair, restore, complete and revitalize to their original condition. If you are considering purchasing one of my vintage quilts, please consider the following questions that often arise:
- NO, they do not come in queen or king size. All vintage quilts were made for the bed size of the time, which was never larger than a full until the 1970s. Vintage quilts are not bedspreads, and were never intended to be. Quilts are generally used for an additional layer of warmth folded at the foot of the bed, or often used with bed skirts.
- NO, most vintage quilts cannot withstand daily use. I spend hours with each quilt repairing and completing. I advise not to use these aged and experienced pieces on a daily basis. They are a precious representation of the time they were constructed. The fabrics were never designed to withstand our harsh washing chemicals. I do everything I can possible do to make them as complete and strong as possible. but the fabrics were never made to endure weekly or monthly washings. Gentle soakings work best for cleaning.
- NO, I cannot reproduce a vintage quilt. My rescues are found in "forgotten places" and I am lucky enough to be able to finish them. Vintage fabrics are hard to find, especially in the quantities needed to create an entire top. If I make a new quilt top, I sew them using modern-day fabrics.
- YES, they are worth every penny. Many of the hand pieced tops took 1000's of hours to complete. Hand cutting, piecing and designing... quite incredible really.
- YES, they are an investment. Even with the outdated fabrics, stressed seams and experienced condition, I can still guarantee most vintage quilts will last longer then the cheaper versions made in foreign countries.
- YES, all my quilts leave my studio with a label. A label tells the story of the quilt. Who created the quilt, where and when. Why the current owner has the quilt, and if it was passed down through generations, or found and completed. Labels add value and history.
