Description

The listing, Vintage Grandmother Flowers Hand Sewn Paper Pieced Appliques has ended.

Found these hand quilted flowers in my Mother's sewing room. She can't remember where they came from. Most likely they came from a friend of my Grandmother, Mrs. Almere.

The fabric is true vintage; some could be from feed or flour sacks. The stitching is so finely done, you can barely see it. Other items I found in the box were antique sewing items such as a old thimble, needles and a handmade knife to cut the fabric.

I have already picked out the flowers I wanted (not shown). There are 8 - three roll flowers and 5 - two roll flowers in this lot.

I will only ship to a Listia Verified Address.

All other Listia Seller and Buyer rules apply.

They are very precious but too much for me to handle. I don't want them to go to waste.

I'm going to put these Grandmother Flower Garden pieces inside a vintage material bag. Also adding matching cut-up hexes and look through the box to see if there is any material in there that matches. If so, I will add that as well. :) If anyone who won an auction from me before, knows I'm a giving person and reward my winners for great bids. Thank you everyone for watching, commenting and/or bidding. Just to let you know again, I have already picked out my flowers to make a small lap quilt for myself.

Um, not sure...it's for a crib...it's some Kansas style, I think...

Nov 16th, 2013 at 7:47:24 PM PST by

Not an experienced quilter myself so I have never heard of that one.

Nov 17th, 2013 at 12:05:38 PM PST by

This is such a great auction! Mrs. Almere would probably have loved for someone to enjoy finishing this! It will sure be pretty!

Nov 16th, 2013 at 3:10:23 PM PST by

Yes, she would be. There were just too many flowers for me, so I decided to share with someone on Listia. Seen some on Etsy and they wanted $10 per flower....wow.

Nov 16th, 2013 at 7:29:19 PM PST by

Already your fan...watching...I have a daughter who is attempting to make her first quilt, for her baby...perhaps she could use these...just lovely!

Nov 16th, 2013 at 4:54:43 AM PST by

What style of quilt? My mother used to like to quilt but the larger projects are too much for her now.

Nov 16th, 2013 at 7:21:54 PM PST by

I prefer to hand-sew but I have been learning how to use a machine....going pretty good so far.

It will almost cover my full size bed. Got a little more work to do.

Nov 11th, 2013 at 4:37:53 AM PST by

King size crocheted blanket is the biggest I ever made. (Wedding Present)

Nov 11th, 2013 at 6:54:06 AM PST by

I am currently making a quilt using the same technique. It is tedious and all done by hand but very rewarding. These would be a beautiful addition to my growing quilt. F & W.

Nov 10th, 2013 at 12:10:26 PM PST by

How big is your quilt now? That's really great. I have carpal tunnel in both of my wrists so I can only do a little bit at a time.

Nov 11th, 2013 at 3:21:13 AM PST by

F&w! great auction! :-)

Oct 30th, 2013 at 9:51:10 AM PDT by

T/Y Brenda! I'm not an experienced quilter so trying to make a large quilt is too much for me.

Oct 30th, 2013 at 3:51:20 PM PDT by

...beautiful. f&w.

Oct 29th, 2013 at 7:43:55 PM PDT by

I'm already a fan :)

Oct 30th, 2013 at 3:12:04 AM PDT by

Is the box of cut pieces included?

Oct 29th, 2013 at 1:11:27 PM PDT by

I will add some but not of them. The ones added will match or go well with the flowers in the auction.

Oct 29th, 2013 at 6:12:37 PM PDT by

this is a treasure
my grandmother would love this.

Oct 29th, 2013 at 12:19:32 PM PDT by

My Grandmother (God rest her Soul) was more of a seamtress than a quilter. She did make simple square quilts.
