Two quilters, one 1841 quilt, and a partnership across time.

Shae Vaughn of Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Robin Bartels of Reading, Michigan, created "Elizabeth’s Unity Made" as a study of a quilt made by Elizabeth Ann (Darst) Bierce in Circleville, Ohio, in 1841. They were drawn to Elizabeth’s quilt by its simple color scheme and its intricate quilting and stuffed work. Recreating her nine-pointed stars proved mathematically challenging, which gave them a new appreciation for Elizabeth's skill.

“Overall, this project made both of us more appreciative of the people behind the quilts we study and encouraged us to dive deeper into each quilt’s individual story as we experienced a sort of partnership with a woman separated by time but connected to us through our shared love of quilts.”

See "Elizabeth’s Unity Made" in our current exhibit, AQSG: 19th Century Blues- It's more than Indigo at The Quilters Hall of Fame, 926 S Washington Street, Marion, Indiana. We are open Tuesday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm.

From cotton boll to finished quilt, every step was done by hand.

Dale Drake of Martinsville, Indiana, spun the cotton, wove the fabric, pieced and quilted "Bayou Blues for Oscalie" (2023, 40" x 40"). It’s a labor few quilters today ever undertake, and one that connected Dale to generations past:

“Spinning and weaving the fabric for this quilt has given me a deep respect for the Acadian women who created all their own fabrics by hand. Every inch of my fabric is valuable to me and reminds me of my Acadian heritage and the women who created these beautiful fabrics.”

See "Bayou Blues for Oscalie" in person in our current exhibit, "AQSG: 19th Century Blues- It's More than Indigo" at The Quilters Hall of Fame now until December 12. We are open Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4pm. 926 S Washington Street, Marion, Indiana.

Come see our new exhibit: 19th Century Blues!
These quilts were done by members of the American Quilt Study Group (AQSG). Participants of this exhibition were challenged to select a nineteenth-century quilt and to create a smaller replica quilt, interpreting the elements of the original quilt. These twenty-five quilts will be displayed with photographs of the original inspiration quilts and a personal statement by the quiltmaker about what they learned and reflections on the process. This exhibit is perfect for anyone who is interested in historical quilt making techniques, or just wants to see quality craftsmanship! This exhibit will be up un til December 12th, come visit us soon!
