This special embroidered quilt with many blocks depicting the frontier way and famous people of the west. Condition is excellent and looks to be unwashed. Size is 72x81 inches.

RWB Log Cabin Antique Quilt SOLD
This popular pattern called a Log Cabin quilt is in very good condition. It is pieced on a foundation and it's put together block by block. The center logs/blocks are all in blue and white and it is bordered with red and white log blocks which really makes this layout of color very striking. This is really more of a summer quilt, as there is no batting. The quilt has a signature on the back corner EB Spinning and the number 26 in old ink. The quilt looks to be older than 1926, so it may have been given to this person at that time or it has some other significance. The quilt was recently rinsed and there are some slight splits in about 5 of the white log strips, shown, and a small bleach like spot in a blue log. All this could be restored/repaired if desired, but not necessary to enjoy. The pattern and size make this a great wall quilt and also super on a bed. The size is good at 87x87. Western, Pa area.

Patriotic Eagle Antique Quilt w/ Border- Mint
What a great 4 block Eagle quilt that is in mint condition. It is unused and has never been washed and doesn't need it
either. This quilt still shows the quilting lines marked with pencil. The 4 eagles and center medallion are appliqued
and the border is pieced. The binding is done by turning the front to the back and was hand stitched down. Fabrics are
all solids. Dating of this quilt is a conservative 1940's, as it was suggested that it may be more from the 1920's.
The solids make it more difficult to date. This is a strong quilt with vivid colors of red, green and cheddar on a
muslin ground and with Pennsylvania origin. I was told this was made by Verna Brittman or Brietman from Lancaster
County Pennsylvania. It is all hand quilted at 7 spi and also the applique is done by hand. An excellent collector
quilt.

1933 George Washington Cherry Tree /Hatchet Quilt -SOLD
1933 George Washington Cherry Tree and Hatchet Quilt w/Border (q-430)-Circa Dated 1933, size 78x86. The condition of
this quilt is near mint and unused. This wonderful applique quilt with the resemblance of the famous story of young
George Washington and the cherry tree. Whether it is fact or legend, the story goes that when young George Washington
was about 6 years old acquired a hatchet and tried it out on the young English cherry-tree.
This quilt has a historic patriotic look to it, in addition to being a very fine quality quilt. It is all hand quilted
at an excellent 10-11 spi and also finely hand appliqued. The maker who signed and dated the quilt was M. E Osborne of
Hamilton County, Indiana. On the backside is the attached fabric with her initial’s M.E.O. 1933. The narrow green
binding is hand whipped on. The workmanship is fantastic and the theme is equal. This quilt was unused and has never
been washed. It does have a few light insignificant storage spots. I decided not to wash this quilt and leave it in the
crisp unwashed condition it is in. The red and green fabrics are strong and it hasn't been used other than display.
Study the images , as they tell the story of this exquisite quilt. It is a true visual delight. This quilt would make
an excellent addition for a collection and it displays well. Indiana
