Revitalizing quilts one stitch at a time
Born Again Quilts specializes in the restoration/reimaging of quilts and tops.
Every quilt is unique. It silently relates the story of its maker and the time period of its creation. Many families cherish and pass them to the next generation. Others are relegated to the auction, the garage sale, or simply thrown away. I used to collect quilts in pristine condition, but I felt sorry for those looked upon with disfavor because they weren't in "perfect" condition. I have the patience and the talent to take them back to their former glory-thus "Born Again".
You can now view and purchase orphaned quilts and tops either at the studio located at 124 W. Wayne Street, Suite 209, Fort Wayne, Indiana, or you may conveniently shop the virtual Etsy store at: www.bornagainquilts.etsy.com
Orphaned quilt tops are a different story. They never really had a life. Perhaps grandma didn't have the space for a quilt frame, or arthritis took its toll, or simply she just loved to piece and didn't care to quilt. Whatever the reason many of these tops are in great condition- they never saw the light of day-just tucked away in a bureau drawer or cedar chest to be discovered after grandma passed away. The beauty of the quilt tops is you can take what grandma started and add your own creativity to the project. A time span quilt that can either honor grandma's original plan or dramatically changed to fit your decor and preferences.
