On our way back from the North Coast, we stopped in Santa Rosa for lunch and a peek at the antique shops. We are looking for ‘new’ dining room chairs.
I saw 2 or 3 Featherweights. One was only $125, but it was such a hideous (1970s cafeteria green) green, I didn’t want to buy it.
I saw a fan quilt that was pretty, if a little old fashioned. I especially liked the border, which was curved – kind of large scallops – to mimic the fans.
The pink quilt behind the fan had appliqued figures. I think they might have been storybook characters, but I didn’t recognize any of them.
Both quilts could have been tops that were recently quilted. I didn’t look that closely while I was in the shop.
I also saw a small sewing machines. I know these are collectible, but I do not have a collection of them, nor do I know anyone who does.
We did not find chairs and it was a fun interlude after being in the car for several hours.
