Schoolhouse Quilt

Offered by: Tori Jones Studio

Description
- This quilt's graphic schoolhouse pattern is offset by a striking palette of cobalt calico against a background of crisp white hand-stitching. In a rare circumstance, this quilt’s maker has remained attached to this piece, including her signature on its back side. This piece was made by hand by Kaleta Livesay, born in 1921.

- The American schoolhouse quilt pattern first appeared in the late nineteenth century, depicting a building that was central to the community and represented one of the first major sources of livelihood for women.

- Part of a quilt’s inherent beauty is its heirloom nature. Most quilts in our collection were created by hand over a century ago. These pieces were made to be handed down, kept in the family, cozied up with by generation after generation. We can't think of a better gift for a loved one. These are the heirlooms of tomorrow, broken in to perfection.

- This intricate quilt is in excellent vintage condition. There is some variation to the cobalt fabrics. Please see our detailed photos.
