This is a two part post:)
First, I have been accepted into a local arts and craft consignment shop and today was my first day to have quilts on display! It's very exciting. The store is called Hand Works and is located in Danville, California, a great town here in Northern California. I have a small space that fits a rack for 4 or 5 quilts and some wall pegs to display some smaller items like pot holders, tote bags and table runners. I think it will be fun to try!
Second, while there today setting up a friend and I strolled an antique and arts fair being held on the same street. Now I have never been a fan of antique quilts nor do I know much about them. But when I came across this quilt today I HAD to have it. It came with a 2006 appraisal. The quilt is 72 x 80 inches and Circa 1930, likely from South Dakota and its condition is listed as Mint/Unused.It is hand quilted at approximately 6-7 stitches per inch. It doesn't have a spot on it. Nor any yellow. And most important it doesn't smell at all. It has been very well looked after. I love it!!! More pictures are NOT available in my Etsy shop. This beauty is NOT for sale:)
