Wandering Foot in a Gourd Patch Quilt
the black oaks fling
their bronze fruit
into all the pockets of the earth
pock pock
they knock against the thresholds
the roof the sidewalk
fill the eaves
the bottom line
of the old gold song
of the almost finished year
what is spring all that tender
green stuff
compared to this
falling of tiny oak trees
out of the oak trees
then the clouds

An intricately, expertly pieced and quilted Wandering Foot in a Garden (Gourd) Maze quilt. She will bring the colors of the season into your home and be your go-to autumn accent. Made in early 1900s, her beautiful two-toned green fabric and her lightly dotted orange are the colors of a pumpkin patch. Her creamy background add to the warmth of this quilt. She’s been washed and hung to dry but has a few areas of cream that have some light staining (see photos). But she’s in a great condition for being about a hundred (or more) years old and is ready to live for many more years in a new home.
Measurements: 64”x78”
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 Tubman —an organization in Minneapolis that supports victims of domestic violence. Funds will go to their Hopetober campaign, which raises money for their Freedom Fund — a fund that allows them to direct immediate financial assistance to their clients.
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.
