Bucilla Vintage Applique Quilt Kit #8525 Colonial Bouquet
October 14th, 2011
Above is the picture on the front cover of this recently acquired pair of 90×103 double/queen vintage applique quilt kits by Bucilla #8525 Colonial Bouquet in the salmon pink colour choice. The first of this lovely pair is still in its original folds and is complete and unstarted. The second of the pair has been started by an expert hand, but unfortunately, the pattern fabrics are no longer with the kit. It is possible to match the fabrics, but the double pink in the dark salmon may prove impossible to match exactly. I have lots of choices of repro 19th century double pinks to supply so maybe the second quilt will be a “scrappy” applique. Ask me.
Remember to click on the smaller pictures for enlargement in order to study detail. You have two choices for purchasing – you can either choose to buy both kits together, either with or without some fabric matches chosen from my huge stash of period and repro fabrics, or you can choose either the unstarted
kit or the started one to purchase seperately.
As you can see, the unstarted kit has lovely fabrics and a large amount of binding and flower stems, both pre-made bias.
PRICE: the pair #8525 Colonial Bouquet, as described $595USD for both + $30USD shipping = $625US
OR
#8525 unstarted and all complete $395USD + $20USD shipping = $415USD
OR
#8525 started and incomplete $225USD + $20USD shipping = $245USD

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.

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.

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!
