Antique Quilt Heaven at AQSG

at Julie Silber Quilts booth

One good reason to attend the American Quilt Study Group Seminar, no matter where it is, is the Quilt Dealers Area. The best dealers in antique quilts from all over the U.S. show their stuff.

Kathy Metallica Cray and Julie Silber.
Julie's from Berkeley, California

A very interesting coxcomb and birds quilt (1840-1890)
that went in the first half hour.

  
Legacy Quilts, Xenia Cord from Indiana

Gerald Roy of Pilgrim & Roy from Vermont
with the famous Ninety and Nine Quilt from the 1930s behind him.

An 1848 New Jersey quilt from his booth

Julia Kelly Hodenius from Atlanta featured
a unique Georgia quilt with tombstones among the circles.
Is that a Portuguese blue stripe on the table? I didn't even notice it
till I posted the photo.

Here's a pile o' toile from her Pique Trouver shop

Nancy Hahn from Country Things brought her Portuguese stripe.

Jane Lury from Labors of Love

Jane  & David had lots of cut-out chintz

There were hundreds of quilts to see...

And then in a flash they were gone.

  2. Wow. I had no idea there were booths and dealers and all that. I thought it was all lectures. (not that there's anything wrong with that)
    Maybe its time I give more consideration to joining this group.

  6. Thanks for the pictures, Barbara. I used to see Cindy at all the shows I went to, but I haven't been to any of the big ones since 2013, when my best friend died. Most of my collection comes from Cindy's business! I loved seeing all of the beautiful quilts you captured here.
