Pattern: Texas Star
Circa: unknown
Noteworthy charm: A plethora of fabrics ranging from feedsacks to seersucker make it difficult to estimate the date of the original quilt, but it’s a dandy. Hand piecing and hand quilting are the cherry on top!
This artisanal approach to slow fashion involves the skilled artisanship of Lottie Dal, who employs traditional techniques to produce one-of-a-kind garments for the most discerning of tastes. The emphasis is on structure, fine details, collection worthy antique & vintage quilts, and unique design, setting handmade couture apart as an art form within the realm of fashion.
The patterns, colors, stitches, and stains enfold treasured memories of days gone by. They speak of a period of scarcity, when nary a scrap would go to waste.
We take great pride in our cleaning process which involves soaking and rinsing multiple times in a mild cleaning solution, gently agitating by hand, bathing in the West Texas heat, and finishing with a final bath in Le Blanc French laundry wash.
With proper care, this heirloom piece will offer many more years of comfort and warmth. Hand wash in cold water, gently wring excess moisture, dry flat, and finish in dryer for five minutes to restore softness. If possible, spot clean when necessary.
