Patchwork vintage single bedspreads handmade pair in Llanon
This pair of bedspreads/quilts/throws were handmade from squares of polycotton in a mix of floral, plain and pattern with shades of apricot, sage green and beige on white background predominating. There is a similar symmetrical pattern of squares in each quilt but some variation in the materials employed, as you would expect in patchwork. I take great pride in my needlework and there are some nice details such as the ribbon embellishment on some squares and joins satin-stitched with Madeira thread. I have hand embroidered my initials and the date (GGS 89) on one corner. Although I have listed as used, they were only used occasionally in a guest bedroom and are not worn or faded. The only sign of use is a small stain with some bleaching around it on the reverse side near one corner which is shown in the last picture.
