| Fox and Geese with Pinwheels Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania $2,400 |  |
This beautifully crafted quilt combines two traditional patterns that I have never seen abutting one another. The red and white blocks are Fox and Geese (aka Double X or Crosses and Losses). Placing them next to the Pinwheels of such different colors makes for two equally dominant patterns that play well off each other.
The quilt has been professionally laundered and is in pristine condition. It has beautiful quilting that includes a graceful feather throughout the border. Measurements are 90"... Click for details |

| Patriotic American Flag Quilt Titled "Stars and Stripes Forever" Inquire for Price | |
This fabulous 48 star Patriotic quilt has the embroidered title "Stars and Stripes Forever."
The stripes of the flag are created in an unusual way. Rather than using horizontal strips, the maker made her work much more difficult by using short diagonal strips. It gives something of the effect of the flag waving in the breeze.The indigo border, rarely seen in patriotic quilts, beautifully sets off the flag.
In the upper right hand corner are appliqued and embroidered images of Betsy Ross;... Click for details |

| | Homemade Cat Toys: Circa 1920; Pennsylvania $375 |
The sock cat on the left is unusual for two reasons. Very few are white - they are virtually always black. In addition, few have legs. This has two front legs. Whiskers and eyebrows are drawn; eyes and lips are painted. The cat measures 9" tall from the paws to tips of the ears. It has several darned areas attesting to the fact that it was played with and loved.
The black cat on the left is wool mohair. A small hole in one front leg shows that it is straw filled and has a wire armature. Lips... Click for details |

| Wool Pennants Quilt $2,400 | |
This original piece of textile nostalgia is made of pennants from points of interest primarily in the eastern United States and several in Canada. In addition, pennants from Dartmouth; N.Y.U; Notre Dame and the Coast Guard are included.

| | Quirky Sampler Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania $1,425 |
This Sampler quilt has a quirky charm of its own. The blocks combine traditional patterns with scrappy cotton crazies. Setting the blocks in a stepped pattern is an unusual twist giving the sashing a Streak of Lightning pattern. While initially the pattern may seem random, the maker evidently tried to give some structure by placing an Evening Star in each of the four corners.
The printed patchwork cat block is especially endearing.
Measurements are 80" square. Pennsylvania origin; circa 1880. |
