About Fancywork Quilts
What is a Fancy Work Quilt? It is a one of a kind art quilt! Fancywork quilts are made from tattered old linens, old embroidery work, vintage hankies, old fashioned doilys, old-time guest towels, loved but worn-out napkins and tablecloths, and don't forget those beautiful pillowcases with all their fancywork. When these little gems are put together with old lace and new fabric they have a new life that can be enjoyed for years. Many of these linens are little works of art and of course, some are not!. It is needlework that maybe kept a child busy, or maybe a new bride making something beautiful for her home. I rescue these treasures and recycle them into beautiful art quilts to hang on the wall or throw over a chair. This
type of art will add warmth and personality to your home and you will be
honoring the stitches of the past!
These quilts are not suitable for babies and young children. There are embellishments and buttons and lace that could catch little fingers. If you would like a Fancywork Quilt for a child it would be made without these embellishments and can be ordered.
