This signed quilt by Sarah Porter Blazer and dated 1858 reminds me of a Sunflower pattern or a Peony. I wondered about the date of 1858, thinking that may be the year Sarah Porter Blazer was born as I didn't really feel it was made then, but more of a circa 1880's-90's quilt. That could have put her in her 20's or 30's when making the quilt.  The quilt came out of the Kansas City, Kansas area.  This quilt may have originated in Kentucky or Tennessee.  It is in excellent condition and looks unused.

Update,,, I recently was contacted by a quilt research person and she found this through her research: "Sarah Porter, born 1842 in Ohio married Jefferson Blazer in 1858 and in 1880 was listed in the census as living in Kansas. " This gives the date, 1858 some meaning  that this is most likely a wedding quilt. It may have been made by Sarah herself or even possibly a wedding gift made by someone else  presenting it to Sarah.

Has been in my collection for several years and prior to that another collection.  

 This quilt was recently exhibited at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky.  It was included in the exhibit, The Pieced Empire- Antique New York Beauty Quilts during the dates of 3-4-2016 to 5-10-2016. A graphic beauty.  

Rare A Brandt Ranch Oak Saguaro Couch and Ottoman(f-344)- Circa 1950's. The size is 69" long, 29"deep, 24" to top of the cactus front legs, 37" to top of cushion on the back, and 34" to the top of the back of the sofa. The condition of this sofa is very good. The cushions, sofa and ottoman were reupholstered soon after the original buyer purchased it, and they are in very good, very usable condition. Has the original acorn finish and has not been refinished. This is one of the more desirable pieces of Ranch Oak. Would be great with one of the cactus lamps and any of the carved special pieces. The price includes both pieces. Lay-a-way available. 

 Please note,,,,,,,Ottoman available for $195.00!!
