More Vintage Textiles


This was at the Folsom History Museum. Its called a "wrapper" and you can read about it on the label below. It caught my eye because of the lining.


The lining is made from feed sacks! 


Another interesting detail is that the "lace" trim 
is actually a fussy cut print! 


A "wrapper" !  Who knew? 


Another maternity dress, looks like '30s' or '40's vintage. 
Sorry I didn't shoot the label. 


Baby clothes and doll clothes

Clever display of crochet caps

Notice the corner on the animal quilt?

A couple more quilts. I thought this one was darling!



Interesting arrangement of Tumbling Blocks...


...including geometric border!

OK that's it for today!

love,
Sandy
