Geese in Vermont Feedsack Quilt
A gorgeous piece of textile history, this quilt is both an interesting and beautiful piece. In a pattern that is reminiscent of both a Vermont Block and a Flying Geese variation, she’s a piece that has been used and loved over the years. She is backed by at least six old flour sacks from the A. Rathbun & Co company form Little Falls, NY, which lends a little bit of provenance. Her pink patches were originally a turkey red, but have faded to varying degrees of pale salmon to medium pinks. She has been thoroughly washed by hand and hung to dry and is ready to live her next chapter in her new home. Her wear include a worn out border, a few small areas of fabric wear, and a few tiny surface holes, and just a small smattering of very light stains. See photos. A wonderful quilt to continue loving and preserve for future generations.
Measurements: 77” x 92”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. If you need shipping outside the 48 contiguous states (Alaska, Hawaii, worldwide), please choose Local Pickup at checkout and reach out for a separate shipping invoice.
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
15% of profits from this sale will go towards Safelight, a North Carolina-based nonprofit agency that provides support for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault and child abuse. For more, see safelightfamily.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.
