Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:230747 |
I love to remember these creative and talented ladies from so long ago, an...d to preserve pieces of their works of arts into pillows, little hearts, stockings, lavender filled strawberries and sachets......and so much more.......are just some ways that I can keep their memories in our hearts.
Offered is a patriotic "set about" heart made from an awesome 1880-90s "Log Cabin" pattern quilt. This quilt has great printed calico fabrics and shirtings of the day. I especially love the little red clover prints, along with the red, white, and blue color scheme......so patriotic! This quilt was totally hand pieced and hand quilted with approximately 4 to 5 stitches per inch.
To one side of this heart I've tied on a sprig of silk hydrangea with its leaf, along with a hang tag which reads "God Bless America, Land That I Love" To the other side of this heart I've tied on a card stock with a printed American flag. For easy displaying, I have set the heart into a repurposed vintage bed spring.
The heart itself measures approximately 8 inches tall by about 7 inches wide.......it stands about 9 inches tall in the holder. Both the front and back of the heart are from the same quilt. The back displays some more lovely calicoes and shirtings using fabrics with blues and creams. It is firmly plumped with new premium fiberfil.
Perfect to add to your patriotic decor............Happy 4th of July! Although I try very hard to use only the best areas of my cutter textiles, there might be some slight surface wear, but I will always let you know of any major issues. You won't be disappointed with my creations as I take great pride in my workmanship.....from the careful placing and cutting of the textiles' patterns, the construction of my cut pieces........to the final completed pieces for you to enjoy for many more years to come. This heart as pictured, along with its holder, will come to you from a smoke free home.
I will be glad to combine shipping on multiple items, so before paying, just let me know if you are still bidding.
