Into Your Depths Indigo Quilt
You are not too old
and it is not too late
to dive into your increasing depths
where life calmly gives out
its own secret.
/ rainer maria rilke
Meditate on the blues of this quilt as you dive into your own depths. The hues of blue lighten and darken beautifully across this antique handstitched quilt, like the way the sunlight makes ocean waves appear darker and lighter as they move and break. Thin batting with a good weight, she has expert hand stitching.
She has a handful of spots of what appears to be blue paint, along with a few spots of discoloration, shown in the photos. She also has a couple of tiny tears; otherwise, she is in lovely antique condition. She’s been lovingly washed and placed in the sunshine to dry.
Measurements: 79” x 77”
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
10% of profits from this sale will go towards Gray Panthers, a US-based advocacy organization for the elderly whose mission is to combat ageism and achieve social justice through intergenerational collaboration.
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.
