Carlie's Wild Rose
Carlie's Wild Rose by Jean Stanclift, machine quilted by Jeanne Zyck, 2004, 51" x 51"
This quilt was a model in Women of Design: Quilts in the Newspaper, designed by Barbara Brackman in honor of Carlie Sexton, one of the earliest periodical pattern designers. It combines two of Carlie's patterns, "The Wild Rose" and the "Flower Basket". Her genius was in cutting a simple basket from striped fabric and appliqueing a floral on the basket rather than in it.
Jean and Barbara's genius (if we do say so ourselves) was in using graphic black and white prints. This quilt is the model for the pattern on page 98 of the book Women of Design: Quilts in the Newspaper.
