Old Quilt Pictures

Pin It

When we travel I take pictures of quilt too. I "ALWAYS" ask before taking pictures, to date I've not had anyone say, "NO" and most say thanks for asking.

 These 2 quilts are from a Shop in Chillicothe, MO

Notice the red's and how it's the color that has stayed the best over the years 



This is a simple 16 block square, each square was cut 2" x 2"
for a finished block of 6" x 6", quilting had been recently done by machine, blocks were also machine pieced.


Baskets set on point with out squares with lots of quilting

Quilting at Missouri Star Quilt Company

Pin It

ALWAYS ask, 

I just asked if we could see the machine quilting at
Missouri Star Quilt Company in Hamilton, MO

I have heard all the stories and wanted to see the process, they purchased the old Post Office, it's all brick and charming.

The people working are WONDERFUL, they shared their time with us and answered all our questions.

Is a Quilt, just a Quilt ??

Pin It
Quilts just seem to find me???

I say this to myself all the time, 
"It's just a quilt, it's just a quilt."

But...it's not, it's history, it's a story, it's someone's life. 
This quilt looked just like this as I walking up to it, I asked and unfolded it. It was in pretty bad shape, with the fabric faded on about half of the blocks. But look ! 


Hand embroidered in one corner block

 February 28, 1931 
I didn't find a signature

Sign and date your Quilts !

They are NOT Just Quilts

This was done my a very young quilter, 
she laughed when she said,
 "And young doesn't have to be of age, in quilting."
