Lovely antique Gainsborough Haynes Ware very large decorative pitcher. Not bright white, more of a country white. This pitcher features a Mr. & Mrs. on each side, colonial style with an abstract tree backdrop. In well loved antique condition, no chips or cracks but there is wear to the floral design and significant crazing. Would make a wonderful addition to any farm kitchen/shabby chic décor. Made in Baltimore, MD in the early 1900's. David Haynes purchased the small Chesapeake Pottery Company in 1882. He renamed it the D.F. Haynes & Co. His inventive designs and pottery skills lead to much success including awards during the ST Louis World Fair of 1904. Stands 12.5" tall and measures approx. 9" in diameter at center. The color is a cream base with an almost burnt orange accent (reddish brown). Lovely !! Endless decorative possibilities !

If you like quilts and/or history, have I found the site for you! While researching the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt pattern, I came across The Quilt Index. A partnership of the Alliance for American Quilts, MATRIX Center for Humane Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Online, and Michigan State University Museum, the Index is an on-line catalog containing thousands of quilts from the 1700's to this year. You can search in several different ways, including type of pattern, time frame, and even by which state the quilt was made. Each quilt has a basic and a detailed history - some quilts have a lot of information, some have just a bit. All work on my Grandmother's Flower Garden pillowcases came to a complete halt the afternoon I discovered the site! I've been back several times - I think it'll take years to work my way through. A few highlights to show you what information is available: This is the quilt that first led me to the Index - I love the way the hexagon shapes have been arranged into stars! It was created by Mary Hopkins Haynes circa 1825 from imported cotton chintz. English template piecing was used to put the blocks together. The quilt was made in North or South Carolina for Mrs. Haynes' first grandchild and has been passed down through the family ever since. When her great-grandaughter moved to Texas (by wagon) in 1866, she brought the quilt with her. It is now owned by the quiltmaker's great-great-great granddaughter. There's a lot more information on its history here. This is a fascinating quilt! It was sewn from wool by Elizabeth Kobler circa 1778. Her husband was a tailor in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. This quilt was made with scraps from uniforms he made for soldiers in the Revolutionary War. There is also embroidery on the quilt, but it's hard to see unless you use a magnifier. Did you notice the quilter's initials on the left hand side? Learn more about it here. This amazing mosaic quilt was hand pieced (using English template piecing) by Albert Small in the 1930's. Mr. Small was an explosives handler at an Illinois quarry with an obvious talent at piecing! You can see two more of his mosaic quilts here - this one and those were quilted by his wife and daughter-in-law. The Quilt Index also has several lesson plans that involve quilts, essays on quilting in general and on specific topics, and information on how you can become involved in the project. Time for a coffee refill and back to browsing! Happy Creating! Deborah

Wow, what a lot of information there is out there on this quilt pattern! After quite a bit of reading, it seems that Barbara Brackman has best summed up the history: "The pattern has many vernacular names in the South, commonly "Rocky Mountain Road" or "Crown of Thorns" (also "Rail Through The Mountains,” "Rising Sun," and "The Great Divide"). A similar pattern was published and sold by Mountain Mist in 1931 as "New York Beauty", which is today's standard name nationwide. An 1854 diary refers to a "New York Beauty" quilt but whether it is the same design is unknown." There is a longer article by the DK Quilt Guild on the Daily Kos that gives more fun history on the pattern. * * * * * * * New York Beauty/Crown of Thorns Mrs. Haynes Stone Mountain, Georgia 75.25" x 99.25" This quilt is quite different than most of those I've seen, but I like the earthy feel it has. The many names of this pattern seem to be represented in the color choices. It makes me think of saddle leather, sunrise over the mountains, and evergreens - western travel through the Rockies. * * * * * * * Rocky Mount Quilt of Scotland Elmira Duncan Pearce Tennessee 1850 66" x 79" This is my favorite of those that I've seen of this type with the vines in the sashing, a center sunburst, and two or three color arcs (in this case yellow, tan, and white). It is probable that the tan color was once green and has faded. This quilt belonged to the four Pearce sisters, aunts of the current owner at time of survey. "These ladies were of pure Scottish Covenenter background, from Pearces, Birdwells, Browns, Douglases and Gordons. Their grandmother, Elmira Duncan Pearce, had a quilter who lived in the house and made quilts, sometimes spinning, weaving and dyeing material for them; sometimes using 'boughten' goods." You can see and read more at the Quilt Index * * * * * * * New York Beauty 1870's Bill Volkening Collection This one caught my eye, I think because of the wonderful contrast in color. There is no information about it other than that it was made in the 1870's and resides in Bill Volkening's collection in Oregon. You can look at more on his blog Wonkyworld. * * * * * * * New York Beauty Amish-made I am partial to red, white and blue - and stars - so this one caught my eye! It's fun to see the different treatments the intersection blocks receive in these quilts. Most have sunbursts, occasionally a LeMoyne star, but this is the only one I've seen that has sawtooth stars. The white background gives a lovely space to showcase quilting. * * * * * * * There are so many New York Beauty quilts out there. This is just a smattering.
