Mountain Mist Quilts

7/2/2016

 
I am taking a few days off to spend time with family.  So just a quick post this week to wish everyone a wonderful 4th.
Mountain Mist Quilts
Shadow Trail Variation drafted by Kari Schell using Electric Quilt
The International Study Museum is doing a display of Mountain Mist Quilts.  The above quilt (drafted by me with Electric Quilt) was inspired by one in the collection entitled Shadow Trail.  The original quilt (circa 1935)  was possibly designed by Fritz Hooker.  
 History:  Beginning in 1929, the Stearns & Foster Company printed a free quilt pattern inside the paper wrapper of each roll of Mountain Mist batting. Some patterns were copied from old quilts and popular new designs of the day. Others were original modern Mountain Mist designs or inspired by current events.

The company had a quilt made from each new pattern. These quilts became the centerpiece of advertisements and the stars in quilt shows and department store windows.

As a result, the Mountain Mist quilt patterns have been American favorites for decades.

Check out photos of the quilts on the International Study Museum's webpage.  I would love to see these quilts in person.

On a personal note, I passed my first Pre-Bronze ice dance -- the Cha Cha.  The dress worn for the test was made by my friend Sherry Perry.

Happy quilting.

WOW! Love the figure skating or all ice skating for that matter so a big bravo to you on your first Pre-Bronze ice dance. Where do you find the time from teaching EQ7, Art and Stitch, and designing new patterns not to mention quilting for others. Thumbs up to you Kari. Thanks for sharing your talents and time to all your viewers and especially to me. Hope your 4th is a spectacular one.

Congratulations on passing the Pre-Bronze ice dancing! I tried learning to skate as an adult--no luck OR balance. My daughter, however, passed her Gold ice dances and was part of the national team from Minot! Keep up the ice dancing. It's beautiful!
