At the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio: campaign quilts and bandannas.
A dress made from fabric printed with James Garfield's portrait. And the wearer couldn't cast a vote in that 1880 election.
A contemporary quilt at the Applachian Trail Conservancy, Bolivar, WV, with ATC patches.
A quilt and a pillow at the museum on Smith Island.

This elegant quilt was on the bed at the Teackle Mansion in Princess Anne, MD. There was no identification.
The quilting and trapunto are beautiful.
You were close to my old stomping grounds in Maryland...well probably a half a state away or more really! We do so little exploring in our own backyards... maybe I should see more than a Civil War battlefield in our area! George Washington's birthplace and Stonewall Jackson death location is fairly nearby. Don't hold your breath as I seem to enjoy hanging out in my studio too much.
