Dottie
$410.00
Dottie is a beauty! Can you guess how she got her name? Just look at her dots! So fun! Each green ”Dot” is hand-stitched down with tiny stitches. You can tell by her precise dots that her maker was on the side of perfection. Dottie had been sitting, waiting to be quilted for a long time. She is full of fun, fun fabrics. My favorite is a little duck wearing a bonnet. Can you spy it? There are so many different fabrics in this quilt. I wonder where they all came from.
Dottie needed a few seams repaired but was in great shape overall. As I quilted Dottie, I thought about her maker. Thinking of her cutting out each tiny piece of fun fabrics and those perfect green circles! She has a new cotton backing, 80/20 batting and has a new cotton binding. She has been laundered and is so soft. Grab a cup of tea, your favorite book and spend the afternoon with Miss Dottie.

This is a Reawaken Quilt:
Every quilt that comes to us arrives unfinished — a top that someone pieced years ago and then set aside. Before it leaves us, it goes through all of this:
-
Inspected stitch by stitch, front and back
-
Repaired by hand where seams have given way or fabric has worn thin
-
Gently cleaned using methods safe for fragile vintage cotton
-
New batting and backing, chosen to suit the top's weight and era
-
Custom quilted on our Bernina longarm — a pattern picked for this quilt, not a default
-
Hand-finished binding
The result is not a fragile antique to be kept behind glass. It's a finished quilt that is durable, machine washable, and meant to be used.
