Treadle a Pfaff 130

Our vacation to Vermont included a trip to the Shelburne Museum. There was a quilt exhibit. Most of the quilts were from 1850 - early 1900s. They were hanging behind glass in large swinging doors. Because of the limited space, I wasn't able to get a straight on photograph of many of them and the glass caused some distortion and glare. However, they are not bad.

Look at the quilts with the cut-outs for a four poster bed.

Here are the modern quilts. What follows from this point were part of a contest. Any technique was allowed, so we have piecing, applique,
fabric painting, beads and embellishments and more.

Below this line is a quilt of an orchid. Below that is a picture of a live orchid that they had on a stand next to the quilt.
