Loved Garden Rose Applique Quilt
This incredibly beautiful and incredibly loved Rose appliqué quilt is a testament to the lasting value and beauty of loving, slow handiwork. Though much of her green and pink fabric has worn away, the tightly hand-stitched lines of appliqué still remain, leaving a wonderful sketchy outline of what was once there. The cheddar centers of her flowers are still rich in color (three could use a tack-down). Zoom in to see the gorgeous quilting throughout. The evidence that this quilt was loved to this degree of wear is what makes her so lovely, and she deserves to continue life in a home that will appreciate her. She has been carefully washed and hung to dry and would be beautiful on a bed, folded on a chair, or even hung on a wall. See photos for images of wear and some light staining/discoloration.
Measurements: 81”x83”
$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. Sales tax will be added to any Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
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 Tahiri Justice Center, a national non-profit that has served over 30,000 immigrant survivors fleeing gender-based violence since 1997. Read more about their important work at tahiri.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.
