Next up in our virtual quilt show for National Quilting Day, is this gem made by Shannon’s great grandmother. (Swipe left to see all four photos.) This one, along with two others, was found after she died. For years, nobody knew where these quilts had disappeared to. When her bedroom was being packed up, they lifted up the mattress and found them sandwiched between her mattress and box spring protected by white sheets. No labels were found on any of the quilts so nobody knows for sure when they were made but they think they were made when she was very young. The hand piecing and hand quilting is gorgeous with the tiniest little stitches and the fabrics are all still stunning. Right now, we have this one sealed away to protect it until we find a better way to display it without it deteriorating.✨ . . . #lifewiththeshibaguyz #nationalquiltingday #nationalcraftmonth #quiltersofinstagram #quilt #quilting #handquilting #handpiecing #handpiecedquilt #familyheirloom #heirloomquilt #quiltlove #quiltcollection #virtualquiltshow #makersgonnamake #familyquilt #antiquequilt (at Seattle, Washington)
