Quilts, Fabrics,
Doll Quilts & Baby Dresses


I have enjoyed quilts and quilting all of my life, and I still hand quilt on big
frames with a
local group of friends at the Bear Canyon Senior Center. My brothers and I grew
up sleeping the
under wonderful quilts made by our paternal grandmother, Rachel Frances Atherton
Haley. As a long-time antique
dealer, I have had other beautiful quilts come and go, and wish I still had photos of
every one.

The bed and dresser you can see in some of these photos is our mid-Victorian
cherry four-poster bed and lovely dresser, in our family since they were new in
the mid-1800s. My husband and I have slept in this bed our entire married life,
since 1971! It was originally a
rope bed, so it had ropes rather than box springs
supporting the mattress and it was a 3/4 size rather than a standard double bed. I even recall sleeping in it when we visited our family in
Owensboro, Kentucky, with my great Aunt Cornelia Bennett Negley, to whom it then belonged.




QUILT broken star pattern
in red, orange, blue, pink and green solid fabrics on a white background. Made by my
paternal Grandmother Rachel Frances Atherton Haley,
circa 1930-40, entirely hand pieced and quilted. This may have been a kit
quilt.

QUILT blue and white
Drunkard’s Path pattern quilt made by my Grandmother Rachel Frances Atherton
Haley in 1930-40, entirely hand pieced and quilted. This has been used
and loved for many years so it is very worn now.
QUILT Grandmother’s Flower Garden pattern in soft green and pastels
made by my Grandmother Rachel Atherton Haley, in the 1930-40s, entirely hand
pieced and quilted. I slept under this wonderful quilt the whole time
I was growing up, so it does have wear, but my grandmother made it to use
and not to live in a closet!.

LOG CABIN
, one of my favorite quilt designs. I started this quit in the
1980s and bought all of the fabric for it then. I am hoping to finally
finish it in 2024. It is entirely hand pieced and lap quilted, all done
by me with not a single machine stitch at all. It has been a joy
to make, even though it was a stop-and-start project, and I particularly enjoy the
light and shadow pattern of this design.

This is the Log Cabin quilt before it was finished with the 15" squares laid out
next to each other on our antique four-poster bed. The blue fabric that
looks like a dust ruffle is not part of the quilt, it is another bedspread
beneath it.


QUILT
a beautiful applique quilt with pastel colored flowers, it has
the tiniest and most even applique stitches you could ever wish for. The
quilt top, which was already finished, was donated to the Bear Canyon
Quilt Group that I am in, and that group quilted it entirely by hand.
Even with 6-8 women working on it, it took over a year to finish,
working one morning of each week. I was delighted to be able to buy
it with from the group with a charitable contribution, and it now lives
on the foot of our bed.

VICTORIAN
log cabin quilt that was hand pieced and quilted. I enjoy
the light and shadows patterns of this wonderful pattern.

This is from the late 1800s and it is 88" by
74". It was

entirely hand pieced and quilted. It is a different variation of the
Log Cabin than the quilt shown above.

FAMILY
QUILT

My husband John’s grandmother hand pieced this quilt top years ago, probably in
the 1930s, and our
quilt group has just finished hand quilting it in 2023, much to his delight! This is entirely hand
pieced and quilted. The wide green printed border is a new fabric, added to make
the quilt larger, and the white border in this photo is not a part of the quilt.

BASTING

Here are three of my friends from the Bear Canyon Senior Center quilt
group, Evelyn, Barbara and Carole, working on our 1930-50s quilt top by
basting the three layers of quilt top, batting and backing and getting it
ready for the quilt frame. We finished it in 2023.




QUILT top pieced with the wonderful William Morris reproduction fabrics. This
quilt top was found at a thrift store for only six dollars!

PRE-CUT pieces that came with a kit quilt
like this one.



QUILT
Texas Star 1950-60s quilt, never used and washed only once, colorful star with a bright pink
surrounding stripe, hand quilted at 10 stitches to the inch,
79" by 78". This was a kit quilt, but I didn’t find that out
until long after it was made. A very nice lady in my LVL Quilt Group brought
in an unused kit she had that was very much like this, and there are photos
of it in the last Views. View
