1889.
This next quilt is American in origin, dates from 1876, and is silk. It had some really long-napped fabrics in it that almost looked like fake fur. Many of the embroidered motifs were oriental designs, but there was this Kate Greenaway looking figure.
Cathy getting up close, with Mary Francis beside her.
This quilt was my favorite as far as execution, but the next one I show will be my favorite theme. Check back tomorrow for the "virtues" quilt!

That is absolutely amazing - both of them. I'm looking at that teapot and wondering if she perhaps owned a Chinese teapot and took the design from it. How beautiful!
How about that tea cosy for using the tiniest of pieces. Love both of these pieces!
I am amazed at the condition of the tea cozy. From the pics I could not see any shattered silk, etc. What a wonderful treasure and it looks like you gals had a great time. How many attended the retreat?
A tea cozy is a great idea to use up an old cq square.
