Candlewick bedspread
 

I found this at an antique store today for only $20.00. Isn't it beautiful?

WOW!!!! Lucky you!!!! Somebody did a BEAUTIFUL job - glad it's in a loving home!! :) :) :) :)

It sure is! I remember doing that for awhile, but can't remember how it's done now. That is a real deal you got there.

what a great find!!!

Amazing what gets tossed as scrap. You made a great find. Thank you for sharing.

So cool. Ive seen these before, but didnt think much about them. Now Im going to look up candlewicking. Looks interesting.

Beautiful, brings back my youth and my mother who always had hand work for us to do. It keeps young hands out of trouble. Candlewhicking, will never go out of "style".

Beautiful quilt. Just think of the amount of time that one took.

What a treasure you have there. Gosh - haven't seen candlewicking in soooooooo long.

Beautiful! Nice find.

What a "pick". This is marvelous. Merry Christmas.

I cant find candlewicking videos anywhere, I just wanted to see the process. Darn!

very nice i remeber when candlewicking was so popular all i made was a pillow

wow..you can still turn that into a quilt you know!

whoa Jacquie!! Wouldn't that be gorgeous!!

Lovely. Are you going to add quilting?

no, probably not. I love it just as it is

what a great find! I am never that lucky to find something that great! I did find a pink king size quilt w/ matching shams but could not think of anyone that could use it. It was a store quilt but it was one like from JCPenney that was a whole cloth & had lots & lots of quilting in it. I carried it around, put it back, went back & got it again & put it back. It wasn't until a couple weeks later I thought for that price I could have made a quilted jacket out of it! So disappointed in myself for not thinking!

wow! that is pretty! great find!

Beautiful.

Beautiful!

Wow they obviously didn't know what they had. Great find. :)

That is gorgeous!! beautiful Job!

what a find, it is beautiful

Beautiful glad you were able to pick it up. How is the world did they do that? Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

That is a lot of work. You are lucky.

I love candlewick! Very pretty!

That's gorgeous...I'm inspired to try it!

What a beautiful spread. I have some pillow panels that are candlewick. Maybe I should incorporate them into a quilt. Thanks for the inspiration:rolleyes:

Pat

I love it, I never find 'good stuff' like that !

You got a great deal. I remember doing candlewicking years ago (learned from a neighbor) but haven't seen any for years. Enjoy!

You are so lucky. That is gorgeous.

You are so lucky........... i love candlewicking. Is it a quilt top..... what are you going to do with it?????

I love candlewicking! I have a couple finished pillowtops still in my ufo's. LOL... I will never forget the first I ever saw. So dimentional and interesting to look at.

That is so pretty! I've haven't done candle wicking in...well, YEARS! I forgot how beautiful it looks!

Yep - a great find alright.

Terrific and a wonderful find. I have made a few candlewick pillows for myself. Now you have given me an idea for next Christmas. They are called colonial knots or French knots. You can find the tuturial on http://www.needlethread.com/2007/03l...video-tutorial. I do not know how to add it on here. Good luck.

Oops sorry this is the complete link; http://www.needlethread.com/2007/o3/...torial002.html Sorry about this Good luck again if you have a problem just let me know.

Just French knots, in any design you want to do.

Wow i do candlewicking and love it, what a beautiful quilt and for $20.00 wow.
