The theme of my quilt had to
be shopping and looking in store windows at the antique tinware during my
vacation in June & July of 2004.
I saw this fabric in a quilting magazine the year it came out and just fell in
love with this Early American Tinware fabric. I could not find the fabric
locally or online when I got ready to purchase some yardage. My husband told me
we would be traveling through PA-Dutch country during our vacation in June/July
of 2004 and we would go to all quilt shops along the way and search for the
fabric. He was sure we could find some. He had mapped out 33 quilt shops and we
visited many more than those shops, about 52, I believe, but did not find the
fabric. Most of the fabric shop owners had never heard of the fabric from
Andover.
So, after seeing the wonderful examples of early American tinware in antique
stores all during our vacation, when I got home I found a yard of the fabric on
Ebay and I bought that. I had to make Attic window for the center and then the
border was Geese in the Cabin. I did add some folk-Art type flowers and vine to the outer border
It has been one of my favorite quilts :))
