Topic: Birth and Growth of Inscribed Quilts by Mavis Slawson

\n

Mavis Slawson\ , collector and textile historian\, quilter and lecturer\, shares examples and the history of American inscribed quilts.  The first inscribed\, albu m\, potholder and friendship quilts surfaced about 1830.  Signatures\, pat riotic slogans and notes of endearment are among the words written in ink or embroidered on these quilts.  Inscribed quilts were created to raise mo ney for soldiers’ needs by both the North and South directly after the Civ il War.  Women continued to create inscribed quilts through the last quart er of the nineteenth century to fund community and church projects\, as fu ndraisers in the early days of the American Red Cross\, and through WW1 to purchase personal items for convalescing soldiers.  Quilters are still cr eating inscribed quilts today for a variety of reasons\, including the sup port of our wounded warriors.
