Description |
Fabric panel assembled in 2014 by Arnold Savage from fabrics in his collection. This panel is a white cotton sheet with 62 fabric samples from the 1920 through 1960 time period. The central fabric of the panel is a Lindbergh commemorative toile in mauve and white. Directly below it are three solid fabrics in brown, pale yellow and green, with a typed label stating they are "from Marie Webster." Also included is a black and red on yellow small-scale floral with a label "This may well be the last printing by Eli Walker [Ely & Walker] of this very popular pattern. Check it out with those printed in 1880." Most fabrics are in pastel shades with some darker examples that may be later than the panel's stated date range. Four fabric samples on the lower edge are the same pattern in different colorways. These may be 1950s fabrics. All samples are machine stitched in white thread using a large stitch. All samples are raw edge. Most of the fabrics on this panel are also found in the accompanying binder, #2014.019.011. Four of the fabrics have lower corners turned back to show the reverse side. The top has a deep rod pocket that is integral to the backing. "Panel 6" and the initials "AHS" are written in felt tip pen on the upper back edges of the rod pocket. All sides have been machine hemmed. |
Provenance |
These fabrics were cut by Savage from his immense personal and family collection of historic fabrics, and constructed as panels specifically for the Quilters Hall of Fame. This panel bears the ink notation: "All 1920 + 1930 Fabric from Madonna Savage." "This project is dedicated to all lovers of fine old fabrics, and especially to Barbara Brackman who has been my mentor since the 1980s, and who spent a wonderful afternoon at my home in Rose Township Ohio studying quilts and fabrics until darkness engulfed us. Arnold Hegy Savage July 2014" |
