Antique Quilt Pinkeep

Antique Quilt Pinkeep

Antique quilts have so much history. I love using them in my creations. The quilt I used for this was one that had seen better days. The quilt was over 100 years old and showing a lot of wear so I salvaged what I could to make these wonderful pinkeeps. The pinkeep is a beautiful tan and reddish-pink color that I embellished with an old button, a tiny bone ring and two antique glass swirl pins. Around the quilt I stitched antique ric-rac and then added glass beads to that. The pinkeep is 5” long and filled with wool scraps and sits firmly in a tan and red floral fabric covered papier-mâché lid. I am including the tiny 1” velvet strawberry fob I made and the bronze scissors. Kindly asking $65.00 and $10.00 for travel fare.
