Dawn is having a free BOM. Here's the first one:
I used the back basting method for the
needle turn applique which is the
technique I like the best.
For some reason my camera didn't pick
up the colors - beige background and
a med. blue print.
I can't wait to see what Dawn has for
the second block.
We're only to use fabric from our stash.
That's good news for me. I might do this
one over again. We'll see...
Back-Basting Tutorial by Sentimental Stitches.
Today there was a meeting of our
local Quilt History Study Group.
What great heirlooms were brought
in! But my favorite was one that
Trish from
Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum brought

This quilt is from Lancaster County c. 1860,
from a member of the Keller/Brubaker family,
the quilter is unknown.
There is a similar quilt that was made by
a neighbor, Fanny S. Bucher, 1860 (we did not
see this quilt yesterday)
Here are a few more close ups:
I'm amazed at that tiny flying geese.
Square in a square "on point" no less!
I kept the images very large so that when
you click on them you can see the detail.

Amazing! Wonder if she knew Jane Stickle?
ReplyDeleteWow...that IS an amazing quilt. I
ReplyDeleteeven like the colors.
I watched a video on Youtube showing this basting method for hand applique and wondered how many use this method. I didn't know if it was a lot more time consuming or not. I haven't done a lot of hand applique but want to and have been researching and reading up to learn.
I made some corrections to my
ReplyDeleteprevious post ladies.
Yes, Dawn - doesn't it remind you
of the Dear Jane quilt!
Belinda - I've added a link for
a tutorial.
Whatever technique you feel most
comfortable with is best for you.
Personally, I find that back-basting isn't as time consuming as cutting out all of the pieces on freezer paper first. But that's just me.
Kathie - I believe that there
will also be a similar quilt
displayed. I can't wait to get
more details.

Can't wait to see what the other blocks are. It is a good idea to use from the stash since we quilters usually have an over abundance of fabrics. Love the antique quilt. It reminds me a little of the Dear Jane quilt.
ReplyDeleteYes Mimi "over abundance"
ReplyDeleteI have no where else to stash
my fabric! Closets are full, drawers
- full, under the bed boxes, etc.
I asked my husband to move so that
I'll have more space. Needless to say
I got a dirty look. (-:
Ahhh I'm a bit late, as always! I've missed you and owe you a good email. This vintage quilt is just fantastic. The BOM looks fun!! Hope you're well!
