Description
|
|
|
|
The letters of 23-year-old Mary Remington and the extraordinary whitework quilt she made in 1815—the only known example of an American quilted coat of arms—set the themes for this catalog, which examines the extraordinary quilts in the collection of the Winterthur Museum and Country Estate, Delaware, through the lives of their makers. Among the works presented here, seen in full views and stitch-counting closeups, are quilts that express religious faith or commemorate marriages; quilts in support of political candidates, made by women who could not vote; and quilted bedspreads with matching valances and dressing-table covers, pictured in room settings. Together they demonstrate the strengths of the Winterthur quilt collection (highlighting examples from the period of the early American republic) and illustrate how the economics and politics of the time affected quilt materials and design in the early 19th century.
