Cette année il y avait beaucoup de vieux patchworks exposés,
entre motifs traditionnels et crazy le plus ancien était daté de 1725!
This year there were many of the old exposed

date de 1860 et qui était en vente lors du Carrefour Européen du Patchwork.
Patchworks
published in this article are of the Annette Géro personal collection, except
the last one who dates 1860 and who was for sale during the European Crossroads of the Patchwork.
Malheureusement, mais comme
cela peut se comprendre, les flashs étaient interdits pour prendre les
photographies de ces reliques, je n’ai donc de ce fait pu tous les photographier, et si tel
est le cas les conditions étant moyennes il faudra me pardonner la qualité de
certain cliché.
Regrettably the flashes of cameras being
forbidden I was not all able to photograph them, forgiveness for the quality of
certain photo!
J’espère que ces merveilleux témoins du passé sauront vous émouvoir!
I hope that these wonderful witnesses of past
will know how to move you!

Robe de chambre crazy (1910), réalisé par Mavis Brown,
Melburne ; en velours de soie et coton.
Cette couturière de profession a
très certainement copiée un modèle Victorien, (la taille est minuscule !).
Crazy dressing gown (1910), made by Mavis
Brown, Melburne.
Silks velvet, cottons, stitched with
herringbone stich on cotton backing.
Mavis brown was a dressmaker and the gown was
probably copied from a Victorian pattern.
Note how tiny the waist is. Victorian ladies
were much smaller than we are today.

Ayant beaucoup de broderies anglaises je pense que je vais
faire un crazy de ce type pour une ancienne bercelonnette de poupée (que je
dois encore restaurer).
Having many broderies anglaise I think that I
am going to make a crazy of this style for a bercelonnette ancient of doll
(that I again have to restore).

Le patchwork crazy est un style très en vogue dans les
années 1880, et plus il y a de tissus, pièces, et embellissements, mieux c’est !
On trouve des modèles et patrons dans des journaux féminins de l’époque, surtout
outre-mer et en Australie, cependant dans ce pays on préfère faire des dessus
de tables plutôt que des édredons ou couvres lits.
The development of Victorian tastes brought
into vogue an entirely different type of patchwork, a collection of crazy
patches in random order – the greater the diversity of stitches and fabrics the
better. The crazy quilt phase swept the world beginning in the 1880s and patterns
and instructions appeared in women’s journals overseas and in Australia. Note
however that in Australia many of these quilts were made a table covers for the
parlor (such as this one) and not as bedcovers.

Ce crazy de 1860 garde une fraîcheur de couleur assez
incroyable!
En vente son prix, bien que très correct, m’a fait y renoncer faute
de moyen financier mais je ne désespère pas un jour, car il est toujours bon de
rêver, de posséder pareille merveille !
Crazy patchwork of 1860 of an exceptional
quality for its age, a marvel when I was not able to offer myself, but one day
maybe …

Thanks Evy for sharing all your photos of those quilts.
RépondreSupprimerAnd the one showing the lace Crazy quilting is an idea I must try soon.

Dearest Evy - what a most exquisite collection of old crazies! The work, the fabrics, the stitching are breathtaking to me even in the photos. Some of them were from Melbourne, Australia, and New South Wales which is where I live. The baby's broderie englais quilt is stunning but my favourite I think is the one near the bottom in reds, golds and oranges with the rich maroon velvet border.
RépondreSupprimerIs that a photo of your on the right at the end???
Unfortunately this time my Giveaway did not draw your name - so sorry for that sweetie.
I could spend ages here - I just so love all the beauty in those quilts.
