Happy Galentine's Day, a day to celebrate the wonderful women in our lives. This quilt is a beloved memento of friendship, shared with us by Patri O'Gan of our Armed Forces History team:
In 1847, the women of the Presbyterian Church of Maltaville, New York, honored their friend Mary Hill by making her an album quilt. Album quilts, also called friendship quilts, are made up of appliquéd and embroidered blocks which are joined together to form a quilt. The women of the church made, joined, lined, and quilted 61 blocks. Each block is signed in ink and features motifs such as birds, flowers, hearts, and stars.
The quilt was clearly treasured by Mary Hill and her family. It remained with them for almost 100 years until it was donated to the museum by her granddaughter in 1930.
