Antique PA pillowcase and offspring

I love this antique pillowcase that I found out in Adamstown, PA a few years ago.  It dates to ca. 1850-1870.  I made a little quilt, obviously inspired by the pillowcase.  My fabrics are antique, but not as early, probably ca. 1880



 
A couple readers were curious about what was inside the cabinet in one of my recent posts.  


Surprise...the cabinet holds antique textiles--pillowcases, doll quilts, homespun linen.  I am a textile hoarder, I admit it.

  10. I just knew that little cabinet was full of quilts! In fact, I'd bet every nook and cranny in your house is full of little (or big) quilts!*grin* And you just keep making those cute little things! You better start spotting some more cabinets, and the space for them in your house! ---"Love"
