Indigo Blue Lady of the Lake Quilt
The lake's
shining sheets
don't make a ripple now,
and the stars
are going off to their blue sleep,
but the words are in place --
and the fish leaps, and leaps again
from the black plush of the poem,
that breathless space.
-Mary Oliver / from At the Lake
A stunning calico beauty from the late 1800s, this Lady of the Lake quilt has both a beautifully organized graphic feel as well as a slightly scrappy quality. Zoom in to see the variety of beautiful white and cream calicos used against the indigo pieces which are all made of a star printed calico. She is a slightly heavier quilt and is the perfect piece to transition into fall and a nice weight for those who like something a little bit more substantial on their lap. She is in excellent structural condition but has a few areas of light staining as shown in the last couple photos. But her busy calico prints distract the eye and they are not very noticeable. She has been washed by hand and hung to dry and would make a beautiful addition to any collection!
Measurements: 71” x 77”
PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($10). ORDER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP OTHERWISE.
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 House of Ruth — an organization in DC that supports women (and their children) who are victims of domestic violence.
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.
