My younger daughter is now a collector; such a wonderful hobby!<br /><br />Lovely to see this one hanging on a cothes line. My homeowners association would probably attempt to get me thrown in jail if I tried! :-)Lya Soranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677200360169732962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-68900559458292876402010-08-16T14:01:56.927-05:002010-08-16T14:01:56.927-05:00I LOVE that quilt!

I do love quilts in general but there is something so obscene and contrary to the true spirit of a quilt when one goes to the fabric store and buys brand new carefully color-coordinated fabrics and then cuts them apart to sew them back together. A real quilt, to me, is to create something warm and useful from scraps and bits and pieces of leftover fabric and wornout clothes and stuff. <br /><br />I love that quilt!<br /><br />NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-54763457132561643732010-08-16T10:59:25.100-05:002010-08-16T10:59:25.100-05:00I have a shelf full that I have collected and only...I have a shelf full that I have collected and only use the one that my husband's mom made for us.....The JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860982258621823529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-31782427856110978812010-08-14T21:03:48.574-05:002010-08-14T21:03:48.574-05:00That old pieced is loveable!

The cotton is slowly giving way under real world use of children's feet and life in general over the years.<br /><br />Good luck on the decluttering! Moving into our tiny cottage forced it on us, to our delight.Walter Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720110642967540506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-85090868291678756752010-08-14T08:37:28.302-05:002010-08-14T08:37:28.302-05:00What a great quilt!

It's loveable!

I bought it (rather my parents bought it for me) back in 1994 after being told it was an unsigned 'shop' or demo instrument from a late 19th century German-born American master in NYC. After some investigating and digging, about the only link to that story is that it was built somewhere in the US. It was probably somebody's teaching instrument, as one side of the carving is exquisitely balanced and executed, while the other is rough and has some flaws that have stood out over the past 15 years of examination during downtime in rehearsals. :) The wood is top quality, though, and through a few small changes over the years I now have an instrument better than I could have ever imagined when we first bought it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
