If you have ever visited Princeton, Illinois, you are familiar with its many unique gift and antique shops. While Mr. Outback prepared for the first skeet shoot of the season, I met my long time friend and former business partner for a day of catching up with each other, quilt talk and enjoying beautiful Spring weather filled with leisurely time to stroll around this historic town.
One of the antique shops we went into had a really nice selection of vintage quilts which were neatly displayed from racks and ladders. No, I did not purchase anything or was even tempted - it was just a pleasure to look...and perhaps store away a future color combination for some yet unknown project...
Just a little eye candy to start off your week...
Happy Stitching everyone!

Eye Candy of quilts indeed! But I don't have the skill to turn that into inspiration. Can't wait to see what comes from your handiwork, though!
ReplyDeleteOh the sweet softness of a vintage hand quilted quilt! All so beautiful though I especially love the first one.
ReplyDeleteWow, some really beautiful vintage quilts!
ReplyDeleteEach one of these is wonderful eye candy...I love seeing the hand quilting stitches as well as the actual quilt and block designs. Thanks for sharing.
Love all of those color combos. Double pink and brown, pink and blue, red and green......I hope they all go to a good home someday.

ReplyDeleteThe basket quilt caught my eye. Price is reasonable but I am no longer wanting to be a keeper of antique quilts.
