Dana Auctions LLC of Princeton, N.J., is honored to present A Legacy in Stitches: The Ellen Rosenbach Collection, a high quality offering of more than 170 quilts created by master quilt artist Ellen Schargel Rosenbach over the span of four decades. The simulcast auction will be held Saturday, Sept. 27, in Princeton, N.J., and online at www.DanaAuctions.com, with all lots opening at $10, selling without reserve, and shipping available worldwide. Rosenbach, a nationally recognized quilt artist and inventor of Applipops, a patented tool that revolutionized turned-edge appliqu circles, has earned a devoted following for her distinctive designs, her dedication to quilt history, and her generosity in sharing her process with the quilting community. Her body of work pays homage to the grandeur of historical quilts, particularly 19th-century medallion quilts, while infusing them with her own signature style. Circles and dots, meticulously appliqud with her trademark precision, appear as a recurring motif. While some early works feature hand appliqu, the majority were created on her home sewing machine, yet the workmanship is so refined that many are nearly indistinguishable from handwork. I dont usually encourage quilters to part with their own quilts at auction, noted Dana Balsamo, AQS-certified quilt appraiser and auctioneer of Dana Auctions. It can be a deeply emotional process, and the results are not always satisfying. But Ellens work captivated me immediately. She reproduces some of the most challenging quilts seen in museums and publications, then adds her own voice as an artist. Her craftsmanship is simply extraordinary. For Rosenbach, letting go of her collection is about more than downsizing. My hope is to share my love of quilting and quilt history, to bring joy to others, and to encourage learning through my work, she explained. Each quilt is part of my story, but I want them to continue their journey in the hands of others. Rosenbachs quilts have been praised by leading figures in the quilt world, including Brenda Papadakis, Froncie Quinn, and Annette Gero. She has also inspired countless quilters through her published patterns, online community, and videos documenting her quilts from first stitch to finished quilt. With over 170 quilts spanning 40 years, this auction represents one of the largest single-artist quilt offerings to ever come to market. Collectors, historians, and quiltmakers alike will find an unprecedented opportunity to acquire works that balance technical mastery, historical reverence, and contemporary vision.
