"Witherspoon" Quilt Racks
#1
Re: My posting of "Family Heritage - Postage Stamp Quilt"
There have been many-many compliments on this Picture/Posting .... and "Thank You" for each and every oneof them.
Questions were asked relating to my old "Witherspoon" Quilt Rack, that I made. I had been looking for an old "witherspoon" ... (They were used to hold a mirrow over the top of chest of drawers and/or old wash stands, that held a bowl and water pitchure.) .... to make a "wall quilt rack" with. I thought I was going to have to the whole chest of drawers, just to get the witherspoon .... but at a local Monday Night Auction, low and behold there were "two" (without the chest/wash stand) up for auction .... and I GRABBED both of them. The bigger one was from an old chest of drawers ... the smaller one was from an old wash stand. I aquired an old Gramma's Flower Garden piece that I hand quilted and finished .... the pictures below show the results of the smaller "witherspoon" .... which is on display in my living room.
