Cindy's booth was full of good stuff.
A heck of a Baltimore album
And a quilt signed and dated
"Sarah Simm 1814"
An embroidered center is framed by a dogtooth border
and then a large field of patchwork squares.
Hexagon florettes are scattered around
The provenance: The quilt was purchased in Holland in 1989. Cindy bought it recently. Fabrics seem to date from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It might be Dutch but Sarah Simm is such an English name.
