A lifetime collection. 60 years of craftsmanship. From 1946 until about 2002. Take a look at these beautiful Quilts, and choose yours. Beautiful hand and machine stitched pieces of artwork! I was going to paraphrase what my seller told me, but she did it so beautifully, so eloquently, that I will share her words here. Quilts by 2 Ohio Sisters One of my earliest memories is seeing my mother, my aunt (her sister) and my grandmother all quilting together in my grandmother's parlor. There was a quilt stretched in a large quilting frame, with all three ladies sitting next to each other sewing. I would crawl under the frame and watch the shadows of their hands stitching the thread through the quilt layers, one hand on top with thimble and needle sliding through the fabric and batting, and the other hand below the fabric to help guide the needle back up and keep the stitches pure. These three ladies were my mother, Virginia Weber Pennell (1921-2008), her sister, Phyllis Weber Spence (1915-2010), and my grandmother, Sara Pickens Weber Thornberry (1893-1975). Most women in my family were quilters, and my mother and aunt probably learned as teenagers, growing up and living their entire lives in the small town of Lewisville, Ohio. My mother's quilts that I knew were made from the 1940's through about 2004. She would machine-piece or hand-applique or cross-stitch the tops during the summertime, and quilt them during the winter. She and my father opened a housepaint and fabrics store in 1956, and from that time on she set up her quilt frame in the store during the wintertime and everyone in the surrounding area would come in to purchase items and watch her quilt. She developed a local reputation for her fine, small stitches and her combinations of colors. Many of her quilts were given to family and friends, but a few were sold. Both my mother and my aunt used Mountain Mist brand cotton batting, from the Stearns & Foster company in Cincinnati, for the inner "filling" layer of their quilts. Mountain Mist was very popular and very widely used, and each roll was covered by a paper wrapper printed in color with samples of quilt patterns which could be ordered from Mountain Mist. A full pattern was printed on the inside of each wrapper. My mother and aunt used several of these patterns, especially from the 1940's into the 1980's, when they both had started subscribing to quilting magazines and expanded their selection of patterns. By the 1980's dacron batting became available, and so in the older quilts in the auction you will find cotton batting, but the newer quilts will have dacron polyster batting which may be fluffier. After my father passed away, my mother gradually decreased the paint business and increased her selection of cotton quilting fabrics and sewing notions. In the late 1990's she developed arthritis in her hands, and hand-quilting became painful. So she still machine-pieced and hand-appliqued the quilt tops but hired another lady to finish them with machine quilting. Most of the quilts in this auction have been hand-quilted, but some were machine-quilted. Nearly all the quilts in this auction are by my mother, but a few are by my aunt, Phyllis Weber Spence. I find that her stitching is of the same excellent quality as my mother's, but my aunt practiced many crafts and did not make nearly as many quilts as my mother did. And two of the quilts in this auction are of a different style--much older fabrics with designs and colors combined in ways that seem startling to me, almost Victorian in their over-abundance. Based upon where I found these quilts (stored on a daybed in the attic of my grandparents' house), I believe they were made by my grandmother's sister-in-law, Elizabeth Thornberry (1876-1950), who lived in the house that later became my grandparents' house. I hope this family history will be of interest to you and will help you enjoy and appreciate the work of both my mother and my aunt. Rheba Pennell Dupras Currently in Fairbanks, Alaska * Note from Seller, as I complete descriptions- In many cases I'm just adding the name of the quilter. But in some cases I'm correcting the descriptions from "machine-quilted" to "hand-quilted." I'm not just going by memory on this, but I've looked very closely at your good photos and feel comfortable that I'm being accurate in identifying the hand-quilted ones. I'd also like for you not to use the word "stitched" because it's too broad. In my list I've used "pieced" to refer to the sewing used in the quilt tops, and none of these quilts were "pieced" by hand. All the piecing or sewing of fabric pieces on the quilt tops was done by machine. I know from my life experience that neither my mother nor aunt pieced by hand. And in some cases another sewing technique called "applique" was used to attach some fabrics to the quilt tops, and I've identified this on the list. And a third technique called embroidery was used in one, and it was hand-embroidery, not machine-embroidery. Hope this is clear and helpful to you. I've used the term "vintage" to refer to quilts done from about 1930--1965, or possibly a little older than 1930. I am very certain about the quilts I've identified as such, since I want to be really accurate with anything said in the auction. Due to space constrictions, preview will be by appointment only.
