Vintage Progress Iris Appliqué Quilt Kit Sold $235.00 by delightfulgarden.  Check it out HERE.

Here’s what the seller has to say:

This is a Progress quilt kit # 1403 “The Iris “. It measures 81′ x 99” and is stamped  on a yellow background. There is a sample fabric piece on the front of the envelope and next to it is the word “Gold” so it’s probably a special edition. The kit includes stamped yellow quilt top, bias tape for stems and quilt edge, instructions, and stamped appliqué pieces.

I have this same quilt kit in white and noticed that this kit did not come with the gold  appliqué fabric so I will include a photo copy of my stamped fabric  so you can make your own appliqués. I’ve purchased a few kits with incomplete appliqués and I’m sure the seller had no clue, and you can easily make up your own, but it would be nice to have a copy for any detail embroidery stitches.

The quilt top is in good condition with some barely visible yellowing along the center fold. I didn’t include a picture because it didn’t show up. The 3rd picture shows a yellow stain in the corner of the quilt which is to the right of the number 196.

The bias tape for the stems is cut with some still remaining on the card along with the green bias tape for the edging. The bias stems were sewn in place on 2 corners and all the side, top and bottom flowers. 1 corner is partially done and the 4th  corner has no stems sewn in place. There are no stems sewn on the center flowers nor are any appliqué pieces cut or sewn on.

Merry Cox Williamsburg Sewing Case Kit Sold $177.50 By eBay seller Willow95670  Check it out HERE

Here’s what the seller says about it:

I am downsizing my collectibles and needlework stash. This auction is for The Williamsburg Sewing Case Kit by Merry Cox.  I took this workshop and stitched some of the front cover during class.  I haven’t touch it since.  It was a fun class and I liked the piece.  But life got in the way.

All of the fabric and threads are in the kit, including the lining fabric, batting and interfacing.  Needles are included, even a curved needle for the finishing.

The instructions have a few hand written notes I made during the class..
