In March I was so happy to share my antique quilts at the Sew On and Sew Forth Quilt Retreat run by Amy McClellan of Under The Garden Moon. I presented my Patterns Through Time trunk show where I share at least a dozen different quilt patterns with 2 different examples of each pattern. For example. a 1890s Rocky Road to Kansas and a 1930s version. I discuss the pattern and its history and explain the differences and similarities between the two examples. I also cover general information on quilt history and quilt dating.

Hope you enjoyed this sample of my Patterns Through Time trunk show. I'd love to come share these treasures with you! Have Quilts, Will Travel. See pages under the banner photo for more information on my trunk shows and classes.

I hear that is a great retreat, and I see they were treated to a wonderful show! Love seeing more than one vintage quilt of the same pattern and detecting the differences created in the pattern over time, or just the tweaks the individual makers added to make it their own.
