Grandmother Lucy O'Gleason's Album Quilt, c. 1860
A stunning quilt made of the most beautiful assortment of old fabrics, this quilt comes with a rare note of provenance. The note reads:
Made and quilted by grandmother Lucy O. Gleason circa 1860.
Lottie Kreider
Grandma Lucy was certainly an incredibly talented quilter as this quilt certainly shows off her skill! The quilting is expertly executed and pairs of hearts are quilted into every corner. The cream trim adds a soft contrast to the white background. One album block on the quilt had deteriorated and was meticulously replaced with period pink fabric (see photo) and a few tiny patch mends were made. A couple of other blocks are starting to show a bit of wear. The quilt was washed by hand and just a few scattered light stains and a few pinprick stains remain, as shown. A treasure to add to your collection and pass down to the next generation.
Measurements: 78” x 78.5”

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.
