Now and then I find an exceptional vintage quilt kit, and I am so excited to have acquired this one. It is a Lee Wards by Dexter #08-90541 “Pansy” vintage applique kit measuring 81×100 inches.

Progress #1492 Tree of Life 79x97
Tree of Life – #1492 is a perennial favourite, and is hard to keep in stock. I have it on hand again, and am offering it in sealed condition!
Progress #1496 Americana (Eagle and Stars) 71x97 finished size
The above quilt kit, is another favourite, being a patriotic quilt which has been available in one form or another since the late 1800’s – this is a winner as it’s a more subtle, traditional quilt than the red white and blue ones and will suit a period room so well!
PRICE: Americana, double, $395USD + $20USD shipping = $415 USD
Progress #1507 Garden Flowers 79x97 finished size
This one is absolutely breathtaking!! One that seldom appears on the secondary market – I had it only once before, and had pretty much decided I wouldn’t find it again. but here it is!
Progress #1553 Majestic 79x97 finished size
I recently sold the Majestic I had listed, but bonus! it appeared in the large group I recently acquired. So here it is again folks – it is based on the classic chintz palampores that came out of the Coromandel coast of India in the late 17th century, and took Europe by storm – they are still being manufactured by den Haan and Wagenmakker in Holland and I have my eye on one!!!
Price: Majestic double 79×97 finished size $395USD _ $20USD Shipping = $415USD
*****************************************************************************************
Below is Progress #1403 The Iris, double sized finishes to 79×97. This is a lovely kit – very midcentury in feeling and showing lovely colour variations. This is the earlier version in cotton – the later one features 50/50 cotton polyester and is less desirable.
PRICE: The Iris $375USD + $20USD shipping = $395USD
