A beautiful piece created from a handmade quilt dating back to the 1970s. The original textile has been hand-appliquéd and then hand-quilted under the guidance of a specific design and transfer template, if you look carefully along the stitched lines you can see faint blue lines — these are the transfers the maker used to guide them.
When this textile arrived it was apparent she had been very loved and many of the foliage and floral appliqués had started to come away. I have spent hours and days restoring this piece, meticulously tracing the steps the original maker would have made some 50 years ago. Restored to immaculate condition, she is ready for her next adventure.
Detachable teal Mongolian wool collar to finish.
Dual-sized for future-proofing to best fit a UK 8–22.
Width: 158 cm Length: 78 cm Armhole: 52 cm
