News For Lovers of Vintage Quilt Kits!

First I’d like to wish everyone a happy Saint Patrick’s Day!!!

A Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to you!!

And next my latest news. Over the last week, I’ve shipped a dozen lovely vintage quilt kits off to their new owners. Since the New Year, the number of kits shipped has reached 35. I want to thank all my customers, new and old for their confidence in me.

Needless to say I’ve been scrambling to acquire more treasures and have also done a careful inventory, pulling together my collection from various totes and trunks and am just about ready to show you my fresh offerings.

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

I just conducted an inventory yesterday and am ready to list all my available vintage cross stitch quilt kits below – I hope you will enjoy browsing through them.

Above is a less well known pattern – I’ve only seen it once or twice. Bucilla #8813 ”The Bride’s Quilt” It’s a double/queen 90×103 inches and although it is shown worked in one colour, I can picture it in the shades of green, scarlet and ochre which were used in so many 19th century quilts against a white background.

PRICE: $185 USD + $25 shipping ON HOLD SOLD

Above is Bucilla’s “Regency” an exquisite and understated kit that is worked with two shades of neutral beige and some gold filament (if desired) on an eggshell coloured 100% backing. Double sized I think but the thread kit is for a king sized so you will have plenty.

Above is Bucilla #3022, an unopened double/queen sized at 90×103.

PRICE: $195 USD + $25 shipping ON HOLD SOLD

Above is Paragon’s #00164 “Remembrance” I have two single bed sized kits (72×103) and there may be a third in my inventory – a complete range of threads needed and much more than what is needed – hence the third kit could be done using them.

PRICE: for the two quilt top kits and the threads – $350 USD + $30 shipping. (An additional $100 if you want all three tops) ON HOLD SOLD

NOTE: I have an extensive collection of embroidery threads and may be able to supply some of your needs from my collection. Just ask! mailto:janet@novascotiaquilts.com

Paragon Cross Stitch Quilt Kit "Rose Brocade"

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:41:00 +0000

I have a small but devoted group of followers who collect the lovely old applique and cross stitch quilt kits that are becoming harder and harder to find. I haven’t seen many of them lately on the secondary market, but not long ago I was able to snap up this treasure when it was offered to me.

This is the Paragon “Rose Brocade” cross stitch kit, complete with the original and still sealed thread kit. This find was apparently purchased at Lee Wards and we know how long they’ve been out of business, so this is an oldy. The thread colours are absolutely luscious and the quilt top pieces are pristine. I know this one will go fast!
$195 USD postage included in North America
