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 1880 time period, in reds, purple, indigo, large florals on dark olive, black and white, and two rows of Shaker grays or mourning prints. All samples are machine stitched in white thread using a large stitch. All samples are raw edge. Many of the fabrics on this panel are also found in the accompanying binders, #2014.019.009 and #2014.019.010. One fabric label identifying the Shaker Greys is typed on a separate piece of cotton and stitched to the background. The top has a deep rod pocket that is integral to the backing. "Panel 4" 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 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" |
