The Aunt Ethel

This is an Antique American quilt made in 1897 by W.B. We know this because the maker beautifully hand stitched both their initials and the date into the quilt. We have preserved this provenance by placing it on the inside of the left sash. It is a traditional Drunkard's Path quilt pattern. This piece has been beautifully hand quilted and  meticulously hand sewn, which is a labor of love and a lost art. It is becoming harder and harder to find indigo fabrics preserved like this. The maker backed(inside of jacket) this quilt with a cotton muslin fabric. In our opinion the quilt is thin and light weight with a little loft(puffiness). We are honored to have this quilt in our April collection. it is a true piece of history. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.

 Please note that all of our jackets are made from antique quilts and the fabric reflects this. Our fabrics are sometimes older than 100 years and we believe that makes them perfectly imperfect. This is what makes them a one-of-a-kind piece of art. All of our garments are pre-washed in a special restoration quilt wash. We recommend spot cleaning if necessary.
