Quilt Inspiration from Shaker Village
Remember when I told you I was going to Shaker Village for the antique fair?
Well, I went, and there was MUCH inspiration to be had (unfortunately not much shopping done)

| oh man I wanted that thread box… but it was a bit too pricey for me. |
I was going to keep these photos to myself, then decided that would be no fun 🙂 Here are some of the quilts and other things that caught my eye.
Hexies, thought of you Amy 🙂
I think they took an old quilt and cut it up and pieced it into a new quilt, genius!
Red, white & blue, the perfect summer quilt.
love the colors, and the blocks.. so pretty
a very cool and very old Erector set.
Would make a great wall hanging, beautiful graphic quilt.
Emily, do you remember this book? I still have the first line memorized… “the gingham dog and the calico cat, side by side on the table sat”…
and this, it’s not a quilt but HOW COOL!!! It was about 4 ft wide, you don’t even want to know the price :)… trust me.
I have been reading your blog for a while and it took me until just now to realize that you are from Kentucky! (slow, I know) Just curious…are their any craft shops in the state that you frequent for all of your supplies?
Hi! I like Joann’s in St. Matthews, Dee’s Crafts, Among Friends Quilt Shop and the Smocking Shop. So nice to hear from another Kentuckian!
I love that red white and blue quilt – total inspiration!
Gorgeous quilt inspiration. I love old quilts- they are my favorite!!
Everything is amazing…but the Thread Box…wow…wish I could find one of those!
yes… I want the thread box too!
I was there! The antique prices were outrageous. We spent most of our time doing the walking tour, and the actual gift shop. Watched the gentleman painting one of those oval boxes… true art!
that thread box is beautiful!
$7,500?!?! for giant glasses?? wow.
Cool inspiration though!
