This Little Piggie Went to Market
The sweetest antique pig pillows, made long ago from beautiful basket quilt scraps! A fun little accent on a chair, bed, or shelf, their curly little tails and pointy snouts will steal your heart. Circa 1880s and very good condition for their age, just some aging of fabric as expected. Bessie has a brown calico back and yellow tail; batting from Bessie’s back leg is mostly shifted into her body. Myrtle has a rainbow back and pink tail and a minor cheek scar. See photos for details on the two pigs, as they are similar but different.
Two are available and sold separately— choose Bessie or Myrtle (see photos).
Measurements: about 16” x 9”
Choose shipping for SMALL QUILT ($8 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 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.
