Mary Willcox Taylor made this stunning quilt between 1830-1850. She lived in Michigan and may have included an image of Fort Dearborn in the quilt. You may be able to spot the U.S. flag flying above it. Scroll through to images #2 and #3 for detail images.
For #WomensHistoryMonth, let's see a few other quilts made by women. ✨ Image #4: Mary "Betsy" Totten was born in the 1780s in Staten Island, New York, one of eight children. Her "Rising Sun" quilt is an important example of design and workmanship. She willed it to her grandniece when she died in 1861. ✨ Image #5: Stenciled in the center of the lining of this quilt is “S. T. Holbert” which stands for Susan Theresa Holbert. The center of the quilt is a sunburst or star 26 ½ inches in diameter, pieced of triangles and diamonds. She was born in Chester, Orange County, New York, on February 24, 1834. Her parents were farmers. ✨ Image #6: Amelia Johnson won a "First Premium" blue ribbon for her silk parlor throw at the 1878 St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association Fair in Missouri. ✨ Image #7: Harriet Powers, an African American farm woman of Clarke County, Georgia, made this quilt in about 1886. Her quilt depicts scenes from the Bible. It is both hand- and machine-stitched. Powers was born a slave near Athens, Georgia, on October 29, 1837. At a young age, she married Armstead Powers and they had at least nine children. After the Civil War, they became landowners.
