The work that went into those beautiful items is amazing. No electric lighting, no posh sewing threads or needles, working with the fabrics they had. Such skill.

[@QuiltDistrict]

I totally agree! Can you even imagine!?

[@vidaantolin-jenkins3166]

Just fabulous! I'll be heading down to see it in person!

Omg, this was amazing! That quilted petticoat is stunning! I love learning about fashion history and that is the most gorgeous example of a quilted petticoat I’ve ever seen!

[@QuiltDistrict]

It really is! That petticoat is a favorite of mine.

The Sykes quilt was probably made in Sykesville, Burlington County, New Jersey. The county was heavily Quaker, who had great wealth.
