April Art Gallery Displays
The Temporary Art Gallery in Baker City, Oregon will be opening for the season soon. I am mailing a vintage 1920's quilt to them to display and sell. I think the pattern is called "Caged Star". There are no prints, just solid cotton fabric in dark royal blue, light peach, and a mint green. the back of the quilt is unusual as it features a print fabric in a border. I purchased this quilt at Portland Expo, Parlmer Wirfs Antiques Show in Feb. 2012. It came from the Joseph, Oregon area and was originally purchased in an estate sale there. The vendor had only had it for several months so it was the first time she offered it for sale. It is in excellent condition and must have been kept in a linen closet all these years as it does not even look like it has been washed. It is hand and machine pieced and hand quilted by a very fine hand. Whoever made this quilt was an expert quilter. The scalloped and pointed binding is beautifully done.

Also going to the art gallery in Baker City is "Road Trip". It can be displayed hanging on the wall or standing along a shelf on on a small display stand.
Road Trip sold while on display at The Baker City Art Gallery and is now in a private collection, hanging on the wall of a refurbished Air Stream.
Road Trip has gone to live with Brian and Corine, who make wonderful ceramic vintage-looking, ceramic, trailer-house lamps or night lights and various graphics related to that design. They were recently featured on Oregon Art Beat. Congratulations on the popularity of your charming table lamps.
