Handmade Quilt Skirt- Rare 1940s Embroidered State Birds

Handmade Quilt Skirt- Rare 1940s Embroidered State Birds

The embroidered states on this skirt are Arizona (on the pocket), Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

These this skirt is made from a vintage hand embroidered state birds quilt. When it was found, it was covered in rips and a partial side was missing all the way, so why not use the good parts for a skirt:) There is a light batting between the two layers, so I would say this a light  weight quilt. Judging by the fabric, style, and that it is all hand stitched, I would say this is from the 1930s-1950s. I'm also going off the Oklahoma state bird, which is the Bob White which was the state bird from only 1932-1951. This skirt features an elastic waistband to fit a variety of sizes
