I have something really special for you!
There was so much interest in yesterday’s post about the Palampore and Broderie Perse workshop at Mary’s Quilt Shop I posted about yesterday ---
And Mary ((Who didn’t know I was going to write that post about her workshop!)) being so thrilled with the response and the fact that I wrote about her –has offered up ONE Palampore panel to give away to one of my lucky readers!
For those of you who missed yesterday’s post – you can catch up on the action HERE.
Not only is the historic Palampore beautiful all in its own right, but the motifs from such panels were sought after by needleworkers past in making quilts and coverings.
In French "broderie perse" means Persian embroidery, but it also came to refer to the lovely applique of printed chintz flowers and other motifs onto a solid fabric. These exquisite quilts have been made since the 1700s.
This reproduction “palampore” is drawn from a vintage example of a very popular and fine type of fabric from the 18th century.
According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, of all the exported textiles to arrive in England and Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries perhaps the most spectacular were the painted and dyed cotton bedcovers and wall hangings called palampores.
An investment in fabric of this quality was a sign of wealth and success; families would display them prominently as curtains, wall-hangings or bedcoverings.
The name palampore means bedspread or coverlet. These extraordinarily large cotton panels with their vividly-colored, life-sized flowering trees were coveted for their beauty and as a status symbol.
This reproduction is an excellent example of a typical Palampore hand painted in England ca. 1775.
As usual it combines a complex and elaborate design depicting a wide variety of plants, flowers and birds. The “tree of life” motif is typical of most palampores and is used as a symbol to celebrate birth, marriage and special occasions.
This original Palampore comes from the extensive archives of Mary Koval, and accompanies the "Tree of Life"Collection also by Mary Koval.
I am honored to have seen several of Mary’s Palampores and broderie perse applique quilts in person.
I tell, you it is nearly a spiritual experience being able to see and even gently handle these special pieces!
I am even more thrilled that she is offering to give away one palampore panel as shown above to one lucky reader!
You may choose to add borders to your quilt like this!
Or perhaps select a small portion of the panel and frame it like this!
Applique motifs from the panel like this!
You will find the free pattern worksheets for making these projects on the Windham Fabrics site HERE.
The ideas for working with this panel are endless – if you can even bear to cut it!
So are you ready?
Palampore 55'' x 79''
Leave me a comment in the comments section of this post! ((Click the blog helps tab at the top of the blog if you don’t know how to find the comments section or how to leave one.))
Leave me a comment on what you would do with this Palampore panel if you are the lucky winner!
Remember to leave your email address visible in your comment. Spam-o-phobics can leave their addresses like this: bonnie (at) quiltville.com
Whatever you do, that address MUST be visible, or I will have to choose another winner.
We will draw for our winner on Tuesday evening, September 8th!
Good luck, every one!

ReplyDeleteI've seen this in person! It's beautiful, a long time project for Mary. I would love to win it! Not sure that I could bear to cut into it though. I would probably do it as a whole cloth quilt or wall hanging. Absolutely Gorgeous!!! Thanks for the chance to win it! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win. At first I would have to spend days admiring the beauty and then decide how to use it. Probably add borders. Thanks so much to Mary for this give-a-way!And thank you Bonnie for all you do.

I love this panel. I have an old UFO that needs appliqué and I think the florals and birds from this panel would do the trick. It was supposed to be a gift for my son and his wife but I got hung up on the appliqué part and here it sits. Crossing my fingers that I win this one! Thanks for the opportunity. Carline

I would love to use it to practice broderie perse! Thanks Mary and Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteGreat opportunity. Thanks for offering. RBCochran@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI know just what I would do! I am an appliquer and would definitely cut up the panel and rearrange the motifs. I recently went to the DAR exhibit on early quilts of Maryland and Virginia and fell in love with the broderie perse quilts. Thank you Bonnie and Mary!!!!!

Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteI am IN LOVE with this palampore and what Mary has done to bring it to the quilt world.
I would not cut it much at all; just use some coordinating fabrics to make a really wonderful "swirly, viney" appliqued border to compliment the panel. I am crazy over intense hand
quilting and I would absolutely quilt it so much!!! thank you for the lovely posts and blog and chance to win!

Hi Bonnie! A huge thank you to you and Mary Koval for this wonderful chance to win her Tree of Life panel! I do not think I could bear to cut into this beautiful panel. I would probably just add borders to it so I could continue to admire it as a whole.
ReplyDeleteHow magnificent! I can hope to be so lucky, but only if I enter! Thanks to Mary for being so generous. Marie Gaetano in Colorado. vmgaetano@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie; What a beautiful give away. I'm not sure how I would see it, I think I would look at its beauty for awhile until I figured it out. It is gorgeous, alaurajane@gmail. Alaura

I have admired this panel and would love to win one!
ReplyDeleteI was absolutely enthralled with your posting about this textile and read it several times. I honestly would have to sleep on it for a few weeks/months before I could decide what I would do with the panel. It's so gorgeous in its own right it would be hard to cut into it ... but ... I'm certain with a plan I could do just that. It would make an AMAZING quilt top to pass to my nieces and their future children as a wedding quilt. Thanks for the opportunity to own this. Linda at Canends@Hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful with a romantic kind of feel. It would be fun to win and explore adding various borders. Love the "on point" setting.
ReplyDeleteI love this i don't do much applique so i would likely keep it whole and border it. Would look good on my guest room bed! Pkilmain@gmail.com

This is so interesting to me.

It would be great to learn more about all these techniques. Pat pat.rollo711@gmail.com

A huge thank you to Mary for sharing this wonderful type of quilting with us.

Wow, that's a wonderful give away! This Palampore is so pretty.

What an incredible give-away! I would NOT be able to cut this up. I'd add several scrappy pieced borders of half-square triangles, square-in-a-squares, sawteeth, flying geese and nine-patches in coordinating colors. (I'm sure I have enough reproduction scraps already!) This English style medallion quilt would eventually hang in my dining area when I finally finished hand quilting it. LOVE the idea of this! Cherry Boom paulinefisher@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteMaybe a wall hanging for all to see in my sewing room where I can appreciate it... or then again, maybe a couple one for me and one for a friend who due to health reasons can't sew as much as she used to. So many ideas. Thanks for the opportunity to dream...

I have pondered buying this panel, since my daughter fell for it and asked for me to quilt it for her. I would surround it with borders, to make it for a single bed. Its a bit pricey locally though, so I have held back. Here's hoping!! Thanks for the giveaway. tania.hodges at gmail dot com

Wonderful. Add borders and hang in my bedroom. To wake up with this beauty would bring nature right inside my room. Thanks to you both.

I would use it as a centerpiece of a quilt and add some borders and small blocks for size.

Another wonderful give away! I don't know that I could cut that apart. I think I would just have to add borders to make a nice bed-sized quilt. Thanks for the opportunity to win this fantastic fabric.

Wow! I would hate to cut this apart. It is so pretty in one piece. I would probably add borders to it and make a quilt. The smaller pieces are beautiful, too. Thanks for the chance to win.

What an amazing work of art. Thank you to you and Mary for the opportunity to win it. I would either frame it or part of it to use as a centerpiece for my wall of family photos or use it as a medallion center and add borders for a quilt that would be passed on to generations. borger.judy@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would make a full size quilt with this as the focus center panel. Could not bear to cut it up. Thanks for offering. smarte34 (at) msn.com
ReplyDeleteI had never seen the palampore panels until I read your post yesterday. I would to win the opportunity to create something with one. Thanks for hosting the give away - rslindiana (at) gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThose are some amazing quilts! I would have to try and make my own quilt with some appliques in a border. The applique design would be pulled from the panel. I really think it would push me to try something out of my norm.

Please thank Mary Koval for offering such a generous gift to those of us on your list. If I am the lucky winner, I would have to order fabric to finish the panel for hand quilting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for always bringing the best of quilting.
What an amazing panel. I would add a border with applique designs pulled from the panel. It would push me out of my norm.

Wow! I was amazed when I read about this yesterday and archived the blog for reference. Very interesting and beautiful...teresakeane703@hotmail.com Thanks for all!
ReplyDeleteI would most likely have to hang it in my studio and study it for a while before I decide but I think I am leaning toward adding borders to the panel and quilting it.

Oh gosh I would likely use it as the center and build around it. What a beautiful give away. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a toughy decision. I would hate to cut up the panel but since it is so large, I would probably cut it in the appropriate places to maximize the pattern. Thanks for the opportunity to win this fabulous prize. Ruth Bradford...ruthbythesea@msn.com

This is such an interesting topic - thank you for the post. The panel is beautiful, and I probably would have trouble cutting it also. I think I would use it as a center panel feature in my next quilt instead. cllcraft at sbcglobal dot net
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to cut it. I would draw colors from the panel into a border of some sort. Thank you for the chance to win. Hbryan 8028 at aol dot com.
ReplyDeleteWell until I know what I'd do with it I'd hang it on the design wall and enjoy it while I was thinking and stop by occasionally and to touch and relive the joy of winning. whatever i'd do with it you can bet will be a fun creative time. dianequilter@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! allj@cox.net
ReplyDeleteLike others, I couldn't bear to cut into this exquisite panel. I would work hard at piecing a set of gorgeous borders to expand the panel into a very special quilt for our guest bed. Thank you to both Bonnie and Mary for sharing your knowledge with us as well as providing this giveaway. bella.harriger@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary for offering this up so Bonnie could give it away. It is lovely and I have no clue what I would do with it but snuggle and love it. Then I could decide how to best feature it, probably just add borders, but I will most likely not have the pleasure. bettyharden@charter.net
