BV Colonial Crafts

These Handmade Quilts were made by Miriam Tucker, Sarah’s Mom.
Miriam was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2018.
She has outlived her doctors prognosis in 2018 of only living 3 month to 3 years.
She was living alone for quite a few years after my Dad passed away.
By 2019 with her health deteriorating fast she wanted to go to the nursing home of her church community.
At this nursing home the residents are encouraged to keep doing their handcrafts as they can.
They gave her space for her sewing machine and serger.
My four sisters and I try to find sewing projects to keep her busy’
In 2021 a neighbor asked me to clean out her mother’s sewing room.
This gave us ample fabric to give mom projects.
My one sister who lives close to the nursing home supervises the projects although we all pitch in to give advise and see there is projects on hand!
All of these quilts are available.
We have resorted to machine quilting as that is what is available in our area. Also Mom admits the machine sewing will hold everything together better.
Some of these quilts are hand tied or knotted with yarn or crochet cotton.
Shipping will be added. I can hand deliver any quilt to any of the shows listed in the links above.
If you would like any more pictures of any quilt please contact us.
Thank you!

So here is the current list of large quilts. We have plenty of smaller quilts on hand also.

Hunters Star Quilt and is machine quilted and in beautiful shades of blues.

Here is the story behind a Chinese Coin Quilt.
In fact, many quilt historians believe that the Chinese coin pattern originates from traditional Chinese currency having been stacked and tied together with a string after counting.
Others believe this design is a nod to an old Chinese motif usually found on decorative baskets.
The Chinese coins’ round form represents heaven, while the square hole in the center represents earth.
Bundles of three, six, or nine Feng Shui coins are typically strung along with a red or yellow ribbon.
So the quilt looks like coins stacked from the side and tied with a cloth.

The next quilt is a gorgeous Log Cabin Quilt which is machine quilted.

The next quilt is a Friendship Quilt where the patches came from a friend in western South Dakota.
There is a name hand embroidered in the center of each patch.
Mom Pieced the sash work between the patches.
The embroidered names are in pastel colors.
This quilt was machine quilted.

This was another stack of patches that were started from feed sack fabrics.
Mom then bordered the blocks with blue borders.
This quilt is machine quilted.

This Crazy Work Quilt or Comforter was made by one of Mom’s friends years ago.
According to the knotted yarn we do not believe this crazy work vintage quilt or comforter was ever used or laundered.
