Progress 1553 Majestic now in stock

Progress #1553 Majestic applique quilt kit - view of fabrics for applique
The fabrics for applique are a great mix of subtle cotton percale solids combined with small scale floral prints, and as you can see by the picture of the finished quilt on the front of the package.
Progress #1553 Majestic is a rare take on the commoner “Tree of Life” kit, also made by Progress (#1492) - both are based on the Palampores or block printed bedspread sized panels exported by the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company from the Coromandel Coast of India. These “indiennes” prints as they were called caught the fancy of late 17th century Europe due to both their novelty and the fact that they were extremely high quality cotton woven goods such as had never been seen in Europe or even imagined – they are seen today still as made in both The Netherlands by den Haan and Wagenmakers, and in Provence by Souileado and Les Olivades and many smaller firms.
I was researching the central chintz panels that are currently available yesterday, as I have a large box of “indiennes” samples from den Haan which is calling out for me to make a medallion quilt from it. Den Haan and Wagenmakers http://www.dutchquilts.net/EN_index_.html features a chintz panel, and Margo Kreuger of Reproduction Fabrics http://www.reproductionfabrics.com/ has recently launched a line of three different panels – exciting!!

Progress #1553 Majestic is a double sized vintage quilt kit for applique and measures 79×97 when finished – everything needed is in the unopened package!
PRICE: $395USD + $20USD shipping = $415USD – SOLD

VINTAGE QUILT KITS: AN UPDATE
August 20th, 2010
The other day I was going through my inventory of vintage quilt kits and realized that I have many I haven’t yet posted. So I’ve just spent the afternoon taking photographs and noting down details about each kit. All these kits have been carefully stored and in some cases are still unopened from the factory.
If you see a kit you would like to purchase, email me mailto:janet@novascotiaquilts.com and I will reserve it for you and give you payment details.
Above is a Paragon #01188 Applique quilt kit, 100% cotton and 82×97 or double bed size. It is a Baltimore style design in shades of blue and rose calico and solids – really pretty!! It is called “Garden Bouquet” and I’ve been waiting a long time to find this one aain!
Price: for Paragon Garden Bouquet $275 USD + $25 SHIPPING for a TOTAL of $300 USD
ON HOLD! DECEMBER 29/10 SOLD
Above is Paragon’s vintage applique quilt kit “American Glory” #00147; 81×97 inches worked in reproduction calico and pre-dating the bicentennial in 1976 by quite a few years. All pieces are 100% cotton and are to be appliqued onto 100% ecru cotton. It should make a lovely statement on an antique bed. This is a very rare quilt!

Next up is a Progress Applique quilt kit called “Americana” , 81×97 inches finished size. This kit is one a whie background with the eagle and stars appliqued in a lovely shade of ochre . Again, this kit was inspired by the bicentennial but appeared on the market some time before that date. Patriotic quilts had a new popularity at the end of the Second World War and the Korean conflict and haven’t yet waned in popularity. All materials again are 100% cotton and Progress kits are known for their quality.
