Caswell Quilt
1 Attachment(s)
This is the Caswell Quilt, designed by Corliss Searcey of Austrailia, and inspired by the Caswell Carpet that is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. I completed it after working on it for 22 months while in the midst of selling my ranch that I had lived at for 49 years, designing a new home, building it, and moving. It is hand appliquéd wool on cotton and hand quilted. I was honored to have it receive grand champion at our county fair, best of show and third overall at our state fair. It hangs on a wall above my staircase in my house. I love it.

Oh my! What a beauty! Congratulations on all the ribbons, they are certainly well deserved. I also congratulate you on making this quilt with all the other things going on in your life......I know I would have been a wreck with all that going on in my life!
|
Simply stunning! Congratulations on all those well deserved ribbons too. I love wool applique and the only thing stopping me from jumping in with both feet is the price of felted wool. I haven't had any luck finding wool garments at the Salvation Army or Goodwill thrift store that would felt for me. Even though the labels said 100% wool. You have a real heirloom with yours.
|
Absolutely awesome! Love this quilt. Great job. Beautiful colors.

it is lovely. you can see why it won so many ribbons!! wool. do you have trouble with bugs eating the wool? just wondering. my friend made me a heavy cat door stop and in time the wool went away! whiskers. i used a black marker to put them back in.

Wow, just in your spare time right? That quilt is amazing. I love it all and really like the border. Certainly worthy of all of the awards. I guess we know that you work well under pressure and should win a multi-tasker ribbon award too.
