This is a vintage/antique hand stitched red and white "Jubilee Style" quilt. Approximately 80" x 79" with rounded corners. My next door neighbors were two sisters in their mid 60's when I moved into my house in 1978. For the next 32 years I did odd jobs for the ladies and did all their yard work. The ladies had lived in the their house since 1922, when their father was injured in a farm accident and their family moved to the city. Their parents both passed away in the 1950's. For many years the ladies knitted stocking caps for the newborns at the local hospital. Earlier on they were both into all fashion of needlework and cross stitch. The ladies moved into a nursing home when they were in their 90's and I continued to look after their house for them. I have been slowly going through that time capsule of a house ever since.

Living through the Great Depression, the ladies had never thrown away anything! In a cedar chest I came across this quilt. It was folded up so I laid it out flat on a bed for the last several years so it would not be creased as severely.

I have no idea how long ago it was made, but it was clearly in storage for many decades. It appears to be of a style that would have been made in the early 1900's, but could easily have been made before that.

I had never seen the quilt in all the years I knew the ladies. The quilt is hand stitched at about 9 stitches per inch and the needle work is exceptional. There are a very few minor stains or tiny holes from decades of storage. For the age, I consider the quilt to be in overall exceptional condition.

It is a beautiful quilt and the pictures don't do it justice I have tried to picture the stains and minor damage as best I can. I have not made any attempt to clean this quilt.

It may have musty smells from decades of storage. If interested or you would like more pictures or other information, please contact me.
