Vintage Applique Quilt Kits: Bucilla #3128 “Dogwood” and Bucilla #1587 “Dogwood Blossom”
October 9th, 2011
Today has been just a lovely day, much more like midsummer than early fall, and it’s so nice to have the door and windows open while enjoying going back and forth to do chores that won’t be as pleasant once winter is here!
I’m reminded that shopping for the Christmas season will be upon us before we know it, so I will get busy on listing all the items in my vintage quilt kit inventory.
Below are the two lovely Bucilla applique quilt kits that have Dogwood flowers as their subject.
Above is Bucilla #1587 “Dogwood Blossoms” size 84×100. This a lovely wreath-style quilt kit in immaculate conditi
Above is Bucilla’s other kit featuring Dogwood flowers: this is Bucilla #3128 “Dogwood” and this kit, too, is in excellent condition. This kit is also 84×100 in size and is a trellis-like design. Beautiful colours in both kits – either will become an heirloom treasure.
Get in touch with me: janet@novascotiaquilts.com to discuss purchase. I will be happy to put a hold on either of these lovely vintage applique kits.
Talk to you soon – JANET

The kit is composed of a trellis work of lovely two tone pink blossoms with green leaves and brown stems. The embroidery details suggested are very delicate and designed to enhance the effect.
The drop is to be quilted – a simple and understated treatment that gives all the drama to the top of the bed.
This kit has been started – in fact it’s close to half completed and by a sure and skilled hand. Your chance to pick up where the unknown quiltmaker left off some 50 years ago and complete a family treasure. The quilt will finish to an ample double bed size – 84×99.

News For Lovers of Vintage Quilt Kits!

- A Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to you!!
Bucilla Dogwood 3128 applique kit
So today I am giving you a little preview of the listings I’ll be posting here over the next week or two.
I want to remind you that my kits are stored in a clean dustfree and pet free environment in plastic totes. Although I cannot guarantee that the sources I acquired these kits from were tobacco smoke free, I have an extremely sensitive sniffer and there’s no trace of smoke on any of them. I am a non-smoker, my house is a smoke free zone, and I no longer share my home with any pets. So that’s about as good as it can get!
- quilt made from Living Rose bucilla 3285
As unstarted quilt kits get harder to find, I have been considering acquiring some finished quilts that have been made from kits – above is a treasure that was made from Bucilla’s Living Rose 3285 Applique kit. It is 74×88 and I also have the kit itself – unstarted and measuring 84x 100. Pricing to come when the finished quilt and the kit are listed. If you want to discuss price or put a HOLD on any of these items shown today get in touch: janet@novascotiaquilts.com
- bucilla pansy garden 8814 rose colourway
The kit shown above – bucilla 8814 “Pansy Garden” is a double size and I had given up the idea of ever having it in stock again. The kit came in two colour choices and this one is the rose coloured choice – striking!!!
Watch this spot as I begin to list my treasures and be sure to contact me to put a hold on anything you are interested in purchasing – these kits don’t last long!
Enjoy your day – and may the luck of the Irish be with you!!!
Hugs – Janet
Some vintage floral applique kits
November 28th, 2010
Recently, I have had some enquiries regarding my inventory of vintage applique quilt kits. It is time anyway for an update, as my most recent acquisition, the very vintage Paragon Rose Wreath kit has arrived and I have had time to look it over.
PARAGON #01057 Rose Wreath Applique Kit all cotton 80×100
As far as I can see, all the applique has been done by an expert hand and it is ready for the embroidered touches. There is ample vintage DMC embroidery floss and the previous owner has noted in her own hand the numbers, each with a sample and a note of what colour goes where. She signs it and leaves her phone number – a sweet touch. The cardboard box front is in the box, along with the top, the floss, a vintage pair of embroidery scissors, and of course the bias binding that will complete your quilt. The quilting lines are all there, waiting to guide your handquilting stitches. There is some slight foxing, due to it having been stored in a cardboard box, but that should be ameliorated if not eliminated by a wash in a gentle oxygen based product after the quilting is done and the quilt is ready for use.
The quilt kit dates from the time before plastic was used to package everything – I would guess mid to late 40’s, so we’re talking very very early. I was very lucky to find this one!!
PRICE: $400USD+$25USD shipping = $425USD
If purchased between now and Dec 31/10, shipping will be free within North America
________________________________________________________________________________
This all cotton applique kit by Bucilla likely dates to the early 70’s – still vintage but not as old as some I’ve been lucky to find……. It is a double/queen and everything is there, complete as the packaging is unopened it is in mint condition.
PRICE: $275USD+$20USD postage and shipping = $295USD
If purchased between now and Dec31/10 shipping in North America will be free
_________________________________________________________________________________
BUCILLA: #3128 – Dogwood Applique, all cotton size 84×1–
This is another lucky find – it is unopened, so in immaculate condition and the binding is enclosed. Judging by the furniture style in the photograph, I would guess the kit dates to the 1960’s
PRICE: $375USD+$20USD shipping=$395USD
If purchased between now and Dec 31/10 shipping to North American destinations will be free
_________________________________________________________________________________
BUCILLA #8602 FASCINATION applique quilt kit 81×100 all cotton – this kit has been begun by an expert hand but there is plenty remaining for you to do! A beautiful vintage kit and not one that is seen often either.
PRICE $275USD+$20USD shipping = $295USD SOLD
If purchased before Dec 31/10 shipping within North America will be free
______________________________________________________________________________
A note about shipping – from Canada to any point in North America tends to be fairly expensive, so as a nod to getting the best value for your Christmas shopping dollars, I am waiving shipping to any point in North America right up until New Years Eve. So if you have asked Santa for one of my gift certificates (available in any denomination) you still have a chance to order after Christmas Day and still get that bonus!
In addition, any vintage quilt kit you purchase will be packed along with three free handmade sachets filled lovely fresh lavender – this is a $25 value in itself!
