This c 1840 hexagon quilt, entitled Anne Foley #5, was acquired in Fort Worth, TX. The quilt is inscribed 'Anne Foley x No. 5' in tiny backstitching
Flying Geese Strip Quilt, c 1840, includes over 70 different geese fabrics set between strips of unpolished chintz. It is hand pieced and hand quilted with a beautiful tape binding.
Lebanon PA Sampler Quilt, c 1880, is constructed with 72 7" on-point blocks (6 x 7) set without sashing. I've seen two similar quilts (same format and colors) attributed to Pennsylvania neighbors.
Foote Warmer by Judy Kaman Grow was completed for the 2006 American Quilt Study Challenge. This piece is an applique interpretation of an embroidered Bed Rug attributed to
Abigail Foote in the Connecticut River Valley between 1760 and 1780. Judy's interpretation is stunning!
What a special treat. THANK YOU, Judy, for sharing your fabulous collection!!
My next post will include a few antique quilts that were on display from other collections.
