Very surprised to find this antique pillowcase last July in Redmond Oregon. They called it a wall hanging. It is the only one I have ever found. The colors are what Anne Hermes calls Pennsylvania German. Wouldn't you just love to know how it got to Oregon?

This reminds me of the quilt along Lori is doing called Pink Lemonade .
Check it out if you have not seen it, very cute.
OMG. I love it, of course. Is it lined? How did it get to Oregon? Definitely PA origin. I haven't found a reference yet that anybody else made such patchwork pillowcases. I am so excited to see it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnn, it is lined, just on the pieced side. Glad you like it.
DeleteWhat a find! Did your 'picker' find it for you (AKA husband!) ?
ReplyDeleteI spied it, not sure "picker" even knows what it is. It was hanging on a wall as a wall hanging.
DeleteYour pillow case is charming- What a find. If only it could talk and tell us how it got to Oregon.,
ReplyDeletewow! I have never heard of a pillow case of that age! Normally when I see a quilt that has matching pillow cases it is a dead give away that it is a newer factory made/imported quilt. But this one is clearly an antique and beautiful! Great find , and a great thing to know about...they do exist
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it
