Your quilting is just stunning!
I'm also impressed with your shopping for vintage items. Ever since you started posting these, I've been scouring thrift shops, but haven't come up with anything appropriate.

I embroidered a peacock long ago. Wonder where it went? Yours is beautiful and the quilting around it is spectacular.

I have found several at estate sales, yard sales and flea markets. I am also lucky to live in a area that has a large population of Victorian homes--and that is a win-win for finding pieces. You also can find them on ebay and etsy stores however I like seeing them for myself plus they cost a bit more there too. However allot depends on how close you are to people.

It really is a gamble--I can go months without finding anything and then one day the "Vintage Gods" are on my side!

Good Luck!

Stunning quilt. I really admire your work. You have taken a lovely vintage piece of linen that another artist executed so beautifully and have made it spectacular with your beautiful quilting. I think you have a special calling in your quilt journey. Job very well done.

This brings back a lot of memories for me. My precious Mother did a wall hanging of this peacock on black satin. The colors just popped. I loved that piece and have had a special love for peacocks ever since. Thanks for the memories.
