Squirrel quilt and other news
Mom's great grandmother Crego made it.
It appears to be a summer bedspread because it is just one layer. Mom isn't sure if that was the intention or if perhaps it was just never made into a proper quilt. It is beautiful in any case and barely used at all.
Each of these quilts in my mother's possession are such treasures! It is so wonderful to be able to share them here with other's who appreciate the incredible time and effort put into making them.
Etsy was once again an easy place for me to get some new supplies, this time baker's twine in 4 colors from nicabee.
I made a skirt for Lilly from the curtain fabric I picked up awhile ago. She has only worn it once so far, under another dress. She is really into the layered look these days. and it wouldn't have photographed well.
I have also been sewing up a storm and there are a few new dolls in the shop today and more on the way soon. I just loved carrying my babies around in a sling, mei tai, or wrap. Ever since I began making dolls a few months ago I have been wanting to make some baby carrying mamas. For these I have cut into some of my US fabric purchases of Amy Butler, Kaffe Fassett and Martha Negly fabrics. The slings are sewn into the mamas (ouch!) and the babies are nestled in quite snugly, but they can also be taken out and played with!
I hope that your weekend was really good! I am looking forward to another week of lovely Norwegian summer and mom is coming to visit us in 2 weeks!
Emily, what an unbelievable quilt! From a distance it all looks painted on,[url=http://www.sport.fr/business/louisvuitton.html]sac louis vuitton[/url], but no! It is all applique! So much work went into it. And such an interesting interpretation of a squirrel. With no computers or printers or clip art etc., they really had to use their mind and imaginations to make these creations. Very special indeed!
Oh Emily, you did it again! Look at those baby mammas. I love the colors and especially the different faces that give a whole new perspective to each doll. Your work just looks flawless and so unique. They are going on my Christmas list! And seeing that skirt you made makes me want a little one. (shhh, don tell hubby, or he won let me come back LOL) It is darling. I hope your weekend went well. Those photos of your town are so beautiful, especially on a clear day. Love Stacy
I was looking up Squirrel stuff for my daughter and stumbled upon your site. I am also a very avid quilter and a graphic designer. So, you quilt holds double interest.
I agree with the blogger who said this may be an unfinished quilt top that never made it to the quilting frame. In the past, it was often the practice to place the "nice" finished quilts or the nicer, unfinished, pieced quilt tops, over the beds when company was expected, to cover old comforters or blankets as a quick fix to shabby decor. This was a common practice with my own family quilts. Often the only room in the house with such a nice quilt on it was the "official" guest room, of which the drapes were always closed to eliminate light fading. Please consider protecting your quilt from further fading and check websites for proper storage of linens and quilts/quilt tops.
The workmanship is lovely. It too bad the original maker didn get it quilted by her own hand. It would have improved it value overall.
Are you sure that is a squirrel and not a peacock? What makes me ask is the "arm"/"wing" positioning. Most squirrels in Toll painting or other folk art renditions are usually hold a nut or arms are in front of the body "reaching" when feeding on food/plants, etc. The "tail" could be the relaxed and not courting position of the peacock tail when "grazing/feeding". Plus, the plant has berries and flowers and is viningusually indicating a low plant to the ground which many birds feed on. As a peacock is not common on quilts, it still has great artistic significance. Artistic impression aside, as to which animal you believe it to be, the only way to be sure is to have a professional appraiser determine the date and provenance of the quilt top history.
As you have affectionately already named the quilt "the squirrel quilt" it will probably have no other family reference or internet reference. Please enjoy your treasure and bless you for sharing it with the rest of us total strangers. Please consider archiving it with a quilt museum where many more will come to treasure as you have.

Berries, sunshine, flowers and felt My children are so eager to go berry picking. They aren't bothered by little details, like the berries being ripe. Some little friends were happy to join us too.
