Heirloom Miniature Quilts

Handmade and signed miniature quilts from Nine Patch Studio are designed to capture the essence of actual 19th century American pieced quilts and quilt patterns.  Quilter, Kathie Ratcliffe, offers these small art works as faithful interpretations of the quilts our ancestors treasured, from utilitarian “scrap” quilts to “best” quilts stored away by a hopeful bride and brought out for special occasions.  Color combinations and print styles are painstakingly chosen to reflect pattern styles and fabric trends of earlier periods.

Enjoy the best of early American quilt designs with these one-of-a-kind small quilts. Each miniature quilt is a finished quilt mounted on archival mat board. Order either framed in a hand-grained wood frame with conservation glass, or on an archival mat board ready for framing.
