Every Saturday Beverly over at her blog How Sweet the Sound, is the hostess of Pink Saturday. I am very excited to participate for the very first time. This is my vintage pink quilt which I believe is around 75 years old. Each square is hand embroidered and unique.
There is a windmill and a basket of flowers. Tulips and a kitten playing with a ball of yarn.
A horseshoe for good luck and a young girl in a bonnet.
A cluster of grapes. Imagine the hours of work that went into the embroidery alone!
I love the picket fence with the flowers growing behind it.
A pot full of flowers, a baby and a frog too. But here is my favorite of all, "Old Faithfull". I think the person who made this quilt made a mistake in spelling "faithfull", but I think we can overlook that error, don't you?
Thank you so much for visiting me today. Thanks also to Beverly for being our lovely hostess. Don't forget to stop by and visit the other Pink Saturday participants as well. Have a great Saturday everyone!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Welcome to Pink Saturday! I guess this would be 'pinkwork' and not 'redwork'? Either way, it is beautiful.
ReplyDeletehope you enjoy many more pink saturdays and your quilt is gorgeous. hugs Sara
ReplyDeleteWelcome and happy pink saturday. What a beautiful quilt that is. Love the embroidered blocks and the colour. When I see windmills and tulips and flowers I think it maybe somebody from Holland stitched it?

Your quilt is just exquisite! Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteLove that old quilt. Just to feel an old quilt brings thought of warm feelings :) My Mother loves old quilts and has quite a few.
I loved your comments on the 30's living room, and yes, we are on the same old movie page. I do long for the simpler times, so I surround myself with visuals that make me think of them :)

It's a beauty! I like that the pink is not too pink and the embroidery work too! Each square with a different design. Maybe the one who made this stitched every square differently because each square holds a story in her life :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy 1st Pink Saturday!

My husband's Grandmother was a quilter. I spent some time with her during one of our visits in which she showed me the very basics. To this day I always look at quilts differently. The amount of time that goes into making them is just incredible. They are truly works of art. Your pink quilt is beautiful and a real treasure.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your vintage pink quilt. This is a special one! Thank you for showing us all the details of the squares. Quilts are truly made by hand with lots of heart!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful quilt! What a perfect offering for your first PS! Welcome!
