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

Above: Bucilla Garden Poppies 8791 double size in the desirable red colourway shown in the whole quilt shown on the bed. This one too is getting hard to source as it is a favourite among quilt collectors.

Bucilla 8737 Colonial Chintz 80x103
And finally, above – Bucilla Colonial Chintz #8737 size 80×103, this has been started and I’ve checked and it appears it’s all there. This is perhaps my favourite, and is based on the Whig Rose pattern which was very popular in the 1850’s. If you decide to buy this one, you won’t be disappointed, but do be careful – it’s full of pins where the pieces are pinned on and ready to go.

In addition I have a large choice of Spartex/Doublestencil wholecloth kits, a few of which are embellished with applique – these are fun projects and the completed quilt is always striking. These also are vintage kits which are no longer in production. Ask if you need more details and pictures.
