How are you doing?
Are you still rushing around for Christmas?
I shouldn't be but my mother is driving me a bit crazy right now so I'm out and about a lot more than necessary. 😒
Above is a photo of a Moravian Star, the symbol of Bethlehem and today I'm continuing to post photos of star quilts.
This one is a piece I made for the Civil War lecture Beth and I created. It's adorned with some small buttons of my uncles and a ribbon from a convention for the Ladies of the G.A.R.
My great-great grandfather and his two older son all fought in the war.
I have many star of Bethlehem quilts. This one was a flux--it was hidden in a box of vintage fabric that I bought at an auction. No one knew the quilt was in there--not even me--until I got home and began to pull out the fabric. Nice surprise! This quilt is from the early part of the 20th century:
I may have given this quilt away but I still have a photo of it. It's from the last quarter of the 19th century:
Have a safe and happy day!
Love seeing your Star quilts. All so pretty. Quiet 'before Christmas' here. I did some errands last week. I hate crowded shops, so it will only be a couple of trips to the grocery store the next days.
ReplyDeleteYour star quilts are magnificent. What a nice surprise on that one! We aren't gathering with family for Christmas this year, so it is pretty quiet here.
