A few Antique quilts from Houston.

There was a special display of patriotic quilts, by Cindy Rennels, from her private collection.
                                                                             
                                  

Star and Wreath, circa 1900.

Eagles and Stars.Circa 1850's-60's.

American Flag Quilt.
Circa 1930's.

Eight Point connecting star.
 Circa 1860's.

Stars of Stripes.
Circa 1940's.

Then there was the Antique Quilt booths.
l always asked before taking photo's, and they were very obliging.

This one is a stunner, from John Sauls Antique's.


 
 Then there was this beauty!!


 
 This one was for sale in Cindy's Booth.


And this one was for sale in Mary Koval's booth.

There were many more beautiful quilts on display and available for sale, but it's time to move on.
 l hope you  enjoyed this mini tour of what Houston had to offer.

Thanks for visiting,
Linda.

  5. I loved seeing all the quilts. There are some beauties in this post. I love the connecting star and the mariners compass. I bet they were even more fantastic in person.
