A couple of photos of my 19th century overshot woven blankets. I would like to keep an image as I am sure they will be sold by the end of the summer....lots of interest at the markets. These are all I have left at the moment.
I am delighted that I have been invited to join TAFA The Textile and Fiber Art list, a relatively new site devoted to textile arts. I feel almost awed to be in such fine company.
I know so little about blankets, thanks for the post. Congrats on joining TAFA as well. It's always nice to have a "pat on the back" from people in the same field.
I have a passion for vintage textiles, I even have a degree in printed and embroidered textiles (many decades ago), and I still find them intriguing! I hope to be able to share my thrift stores and market finds from all over the world. Toronto has been my home for 45 years.
Where to find me
Saturday mornings 8 - 1. Brickworks Farmers Market, Toronto
Thanks for plugging TAFA, Jan! We're happy to have you on board! I just love your old quilts... and your spirit, too!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post about overshot blankets. I have not seen them before.
