My favorite time period. You don't mention it being two sides of the same quilt but it is? I can't see why the one side isn't also known as Bow Tie....is it because of the setting of the traditional bow tie blocks? Great other textiles you share, also.Jean Carltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418419315053468466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-23913719565549656352014-04-09T07:23:28.766-05:002014-04-09T07:23:28.766-05:00Clearly the quilt was meant to be yours...Enjoy!Clearly the quilt was meant to be yours...Enjoy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16544719237394918421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-53233090300695964932014-04-09T06:42:57.236-05:002014-04-09T06:42:57.236-05:00What beautiful hand pieced treasures you've ac...What beautiful hand pieced treasures you've acquired! <br />Thank you for sharing all the wonderful photo's with us!Aunt 'Reenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08204447436613555757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-72600296198680519872014-04-09T06:09:51.352-05:002014-04-09T06:09:51.352-05:00Treasure indeed.

The hand stitching women did on clothing and simple everyday objects like aprons is so beyond what anyone sees today.

And I love the little ...Incredible two-sided quilt!<br />And I love the little dress. My MIL recently discarded an apron that I'm thinking I should have saved--from early in her marriage, made for her by a sister-in-law. A very delicate creation that I don't think she ever used--too fancy. But she saves everything, and I am supposed to be helping her clear things out. When she made the decision to dispose of it, I felt it would be counter-productive to question her choice. I have questioned that decision ever since.<br />I know I treasure my Brackman's Encyclopedia. When I bought it years ago it was a hardship to come up with the money, but I have never regretted it!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-1849696291424177262014-04-08T12:29:25.200-05:002014-04-08T12:29:25.200-05:00Big sighs here.

I think I can see the ends of the ties on the True Lovers Knot side and the back of the loop on the Indian Puzzle/Snowball side. Yes, I'm truly envious. <br />The little dress and the apron are lovely as well.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-67588135003640125312014-04-08T12:12:42.785-05:002014-04-08T12:12:42.785-05:00You got it Sandy...it is a double sided quilt!
