Women's Lives

Who are these women, the ones whose sewing baskets get passed on to us? What do the bits and pieces left in the basket tell us about their lives? Created for "Vintage Revival" curated by Mary Kerr, the starting point for this quilt was a yellow and white Churn Dash block, circa 1900. Additional quilt block pieces and additional pieces for undergarments compose the top. Images of nameless women wander across the piece.
