"Tanko" a Bronze Resting Cat by Barbara Beretich
By Barbara Beretich
Located in Palm Desert, CA
Entitled "Tanko", this is a beautiful and sleek bronze cat sculpture by Barbara Beretich(1936-2018). This lounging cat is displayed while grooming itself with its curvy tail wrapping around it's body and legs. Beretich's unique use of patina accentuates the subtle presentation of movement.

Vintage Pennsylvania Amish “Churn Dash” Hand-Stitched Cotton Quilt
Located in Barrington, IL
This beautifully hand-crafted Amish quilt, made in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania circa the mid-1900s, features the classic “Churn Dash” pattern—a beloved motif in American quiltmaking, symbolizing home, work, and tradition. Rendered in a joyful palette of lavender, turquoise, and pink, the design strikes a harmonious balance between bold geometry and gentle color. Each fabric piece was carefully hand-cut and stitched with remarkable precision, showcasing the exceptional skill and dedication of its maker. True to Amish tradition, the quilt was constructed from materials readily available in the home—an inspired act of reuse that transformed everyday fabric into lasting art. The result is a quilt that speaks not only to function but to deep cultural values: simplicity, resourcefulness, and quiet beauty. The fine craftsmanship and striking visual appeal make this piece a desirable collector’s item and a stunning candidate for wall display. Please note: Some color distortion may occur in photos—refer to the video for the most accurate representation.

Early 20th Century American Crazy Quilt in Turquoise, Pink, Yellow, Navy, Green
Located in Barrington, IL
A striking and expressive example of American textile art, this early 20th-century Crazy Quilt features a vivid patchwork of hand-cut and hand-stitched cotton and flannel pieces in turquoise, pink, yellow, navy, red, and more. The irregular, abstract shapes are joined by intricate herringbone embroidery, giving the quilt visual rhythm and textural detail. Set on a soft flannel cotton backing, the quilt balances aesthetic richness with tactile warmth. Discovered in New England and likely crafted in Pennsylvania, this piece embodies the traditional Crazy Quilt form—created not for bedding but as decorative throws that doubled as a form of artistic expression. With its vibrant palette and artisanal construction, it is ideal for display as wall art or as a bold, historic accent in interior decor.
