Dreams: A Lost Ship Quilt
Pattern: Lost Ship
Date: c. 1880-1890
Provenance/Notes:
264 little ships sail across the expanse of this gorgeous 19th century quilt, in all their scrappy colorful beauty
Notice the variety of fabrics the quilter used, with lovely pops of green and red, and some boats pieced against darker backgrounds
The fabric used for the back has a wonderful woodland print and was turned to make the trim
A handful of patches were expertly replaced with period fabric to reinforce places that had weakend over time
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand in great condition with just a touch of residual discoloration/staining mostly along a couple edge places and one tiny surface hole
Measurements: 69" x 75"
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. Price for smaller items have been adjusted (lowered) to account for the lower shipping cost.
International customers: If you enter a shipping address outside of the US, you will not be charged for shipping upon checkout. A separate invoice will be sent once shipping is calculated. If you need a shipping estimate, please reach out ahead of time. Tax will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards the Tahirih Justice Center -- a national organization based in Falls Church, Virginia, that aims to protect immigrant women and girls fleeing gender-based violence and persecution. For more about their important work, see www.tahirih.org
Note on antique/vintage quilts: Many of the quilts we sell have been loved, slept under, washed, sunshine dried, taken on picnics, slept on underneath the stars, and lived lifetimes before arriving at our doorstep. You can expect to see repairs made by later generations, fraying around the edges or in certain blocks, discoloration or yellowing, cotton/wool batting—or as we like to call them, tiny sheep—peeking through. They are imperfect, but their imperfections are charming to us and we hope you feel the same. They are reminders to us of their old age and the history to which they've been a witness. We try our best to note any imperfections, but it’s possible we might miss one here and there. Well-crafted, handmade antique quilts in their original form are becoming scarcer, and we believe it's vital that we preserve them and continue to love them, imperfections and all.
Because these quilts are one-of-a-kind and we are a tiny enterprise, we do not accept returns; please review all photos and the description carefully and ask any questions you may have prior to purchasing.
