I think this auctioneer has a couple of accounts from Ohio and Pennsylvania that make these quilts for him I see the same patterns over and over, but they are well done and hand stitched. There is another auctioneer in our area that has a following of one lady I know in Canada. This second auctioneer has gotten $800.00--$1500.00 for this Canadian lady named Clara. Hers are exceptional in color, design and workmanship. This second auctioneer will only accept 3 quilts from one person but has his auction twice a year, so I think poor Clara is working her fingers to the bone.
They are not discovered, but made for the auction. I inquired about one quilt that I kick myself for not buying. It was every kind and color of Hummingbird appliqued. It was made in New York and only brought $300.00. That was the day I did not have $300.00. She never sent another one.
