She said that growing up in the Mio-Fairview Mennonite community "everybody in the community quilted-all had homemade bedding." She also recalled "quiltings" during the winter when quilters would begin around nine o'clock in the morning and quilt to, but not past, supper time. \r\n \r\nEsch recounted several strong family quilt traditions in her area. She received her first quilt as a present for her hope chest and, thanks to gifts from various relatives, had 16 quilts on the day she was married, including a Friendship quilt from Detroit, three from her grandmother, and "some" from her mother. \r\n \r\nEsch regularly participates in the annual Mennonite Relief Sale held at the Oscoda County Fairgrounds and in 1986 made two crib quilts, one queen-size quilt, and one machine made coverlet to be auctioned off. She also makes quilts for other Mennonite communities that have relief sales or fundraising efforts. For example, she recently made a Kansas Sunflower quilt of her own design for a quilt auction held by Heston College (a Mennonite college) in Kansas to raise scholarship money for students. \r\n \r\nIn addition to her quilting activities with family and fellow church members, Esch also shows her quilts in secular shows. \r\n \r\nEsch also made a Map of Michigan quilt in the Museum's collection. \r\n \r\nIn 1988, Esch received a Michigan Heritage Award. \r\n \r\nFrom Michigan Quilts: 150 Years of a Textile Tradition.","OwnerNameF010":"26 Star Flag Quilt","QuiltTopF054":"Esch, Donna","QuiltedByF055":"Esch, Donna","IfQownerF007b":["Purchased the quilt"],"LocMadeF057a":"Mio","ProvCountyF057b":"Oscoda","ProvStateF057d":"Michigan (MI)","DateQuiltF023":"1976-1999","DateBegunF023a":"1986","DateFinishF023b":"1986","PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"GenderF098":["Female"],"CityF106a":"Mio","CountyF106":"Oscoda","StateF107":"Michigan (MI)","MaidenF097b":"Handrich","BirthDateF099":"7/11/1918","EnviroF104c":["Rural"],"EdBkgdF102":"9th grade and Special Bible School","RelAffF103":"Mennonite","OccupationF104":"Adult Foster Home Operator","FatherNameF109":"Handrich, Will","EthBkgrndF110":"German","MotherNameF111":"Handrich, Marie Troyer","EthBkgrndF112":"Irish and German","SpouseF113":"Esch, Floyd W.","OccupationF115":"Farmer, builder, construction","NoChildF116":"2","NoFemF116a":"1","NoMaleF116b":"1","WhenQuiltF118":["Under 10 years of age"],"OtherF119a":"I have given many quilts for wedding gifts.

Organized by Teresa Drummond, where every quilter would receive a block from all 50 states. This meant organizing fifty quilters to complete a total of 2500 quilt blocks. Teresa’s friend Wendy Smith helped Teresa and went on the internet to recruit members. Wendy sent out fabric samples so everybody’s blocks would be compatible in color and we requested history forms on all participants. These forms told us about the quilters and why they chose or designed their state block. Many things evolved during the two and a half years of our exchange. We decided on doing two extra red, white and blue quilt blocks each, one for charity to raise money for breast cancer and one for a quilt museum. Three states not follow through with their commitment. Fortunately, the following guild members from Stafford Piecemakers took over the remaining states: Linda McNeil, Heather Ronk and Jane McGovern did Alabama, Pat Fitzpatrick did Missouri and Jessica Polley did Rhode Island. Without the help of these ladies, the 50 state quilt exchange would not have been completed. Wendy and Teresa orgainzed everyone to come to Stafford Virginia to help sort the 2500 blocks and sew the two charity quilts. We had representatives from 14 states come, with the furthest from Utah. We have had a lot of support from our group with this project. I would like to thank the following: Wendy Smith from Pennsylvania my co-organizer. Pam Crosby our web site creator. Vicki Fallon from New Jersey compiled all the history forms Joyce Neyers from Minnesota quilted the charity and museum quilts. Kathryn Bunch from Texas suggested our recipe booklet. Pam Millwood from Tenessee came up with our name \"NIFTY FIFTY'\". Rena Tolbert from Delaware made extra blocks for our charity and museum quilts. Marjorie Mittleman from New York organized the awards and prizes for our group. Merryvale Fabrics donated fabric for the backing of the charity and museum quilts. Quilt Patch in Fairfax Virginia donated the battings.","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"80 1/2\"","OverallLengthF012b":"92\"","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Blue","Red","White"],"OverCondF015":"Very good/almost new","TypeInscripF019":["Date","Multiple Names","Message"],"ContInscripF020":"Row A, block 1: 50 State Block Exchange\r\nStarting date: July 1995 Ending date: April 1998\r\nOriginators\r\nWendy Smith - Pennsylvania\r\nTeresa Drummond - Viriginia\r\nWendy Smith - I am honored to have worked with such a group of inspiring people.

Five women participated at first and, as of 2000, the number has grown to over 400 and now also includes a few men. Generally van Rooyen or Solomon Mohati prepare drawings on black drill cloth of a uniform size, then, at their own homes, needleworkers embroider the design in colors of van Rooyen's choosing. The designs and color selections are influenced by those used by local sculptors as well as the motifs traditionally painted on the walls of the Tsonga and Venda homes and the embroidery technique is one used by women in making their own traditional dress called minceka. The finished piece is delivered back to van Rooyen who handles all marketing through galleries both in South Africa and overseas.

For this quilt I chose reference images that show his kindness, his humanity, and his strength of character. I wanted to show more than just the formal facade of this powerful statesman without ignoring his political message. I chose an image of an older man, one where his life is written in the many creases and furrows of his face. His inelegant hands (those of a boxer), raised in fists, are an expression of hard-won freedom rather than militant aggression. As he was able to unite black and white in hope, I included an image of Mandela's black-skinned hand clasping that of de Klerk's white one and lifting it in triumph.

I hoped instead to use the image of feet to evoke symbolic associations about his life and the sacrifices that he had made for all of us. His book Long Walk to Freedom inspired the initial machine embroidered feet. I used fabric that looked like the ocean and was reminiscent of the view towards Cape Town that Mandela had from his prison window on Robben lsland. I placed the feet at the top of the quilt because he was nearly hanged by the apartheid government; other viewers of the quilt might find religious associations with this placement. The fabric used for the prison pants was from a small piece that I bought years ago from a vendor from Maputo, Mozambique; Gra'a Machel, Mandela's third wife, was also from that country. The central blocks of the Log Cabin quilt pattern are photo transfers of newspaper articles of general life in South Africa; they show a contrast to his life of imprisonment and ours.","QuiltTitleF009":"A long walk to freedom: A tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela","AddNotesF132":"Annette has a wide range of interests in the arts :Beadwork: She was a mentor for 4 beadwork artists at the local Tatham Gallery for a period of four years.

The carpets, the paintings, a share of the pastors’ salaries were all helped by the Ladies Aid. How was the money earned? By lawn ice cream socials, when ice cream was not sold in cones on every corner, by winter socials, when the auto did not take the young people to town twenty or thirty miles to a picture show, by Harvest festivals where folks were thankful for farm produce, by piecing album quilts where it cost tens cents to have your name put on.

This variety provides a unique canvas for our contemporary designs.\r\nFurthermore, we hand stitch all of our bindings and use a free-arm sewing machine to quilt all-over swirl, meander, and floral designs. We measure and cut all scraps and cloth uniquely for each quilt. And finally we label them with our Amani path symbol to represent our individual lives coming together for a common journey towards peace and reconciliation.\r\nThank you for supporting us on this journey.

They also were looking closely at the stitching in the quilts. After we finished our purchase, the woman asked Amanda if she quilted tops that other people appliqued. Needless to say at that point I asked her is she was Hmong. Turned out the Yer Thor and her husband, Xeng Thor, had heard ther were Amish around Clare and had driven up to try and find some women who could quilt the floral applique (non-Hmong design) quilt tops that Yer Thor was making. Yer said that she has been unable to find many people to purchase her Hmond design applique and so she has been turning to doing non-Hmong design applique quilt tops which she has found Amish quilters in Shipshewanna and Ohio to quilt for her.","ReposFile":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-390/MichiganMSUMuseum-a0b7i9-a_8092.jpg"],"AccessF080":"Restricted","CopyRestF080c":"Michigan State University Museum","verify":"yes","verifiedby":"Donaldson, Beth","dateverified":"2007-11-29","dateverified_era":"CE","IfQmakerF007a":["Made entire quilt"],"function":"Image - medium display (250-550 pixels)","file medium":"image","file format":"jpeg","Contributing Institutions":"MATRIX: Center for Humane Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University, Michigan State University Museum, Alliance For American Quilts","Publisher":"Quilt Index","Resource Type":"StillImage","InvenNumF075":"7248.1","ImageConF075a":"Quilt","ImageTypeF076":"Color","SourceF077":"Slide","photocredit079a1":"KEVA","HolderF080a":"Michigan State University Museum","CreditLineF080b":"Courtesy of Michigan State University Museum","DistribRestF080d":"Michigan State University Museum","DisplayResF080e":"Michigan State University Museum","LicenseF080f":"Michigan State University Museum","Pattern":"AMISH STRIP QUILT","Maker":"[\"YODER, KATIE\"]","Date":"1976-1999","legacy_kid":"1E-3D-116B","project_id":"12","form_id":"8","owner":"0","created_at":"2020-04-25 17:33:31","updated_at":"2024-02-23 19:04:38"},"sort":["AMISH STRIP QUILT"]},{"_index":"main_quilt_index_quilt_1_25_","_type":"_doc","_id":"za1gWZEB8akQsUwejK55","_score":null,"_source":{"kid":"12-8-6715","InstProjNameF003a":"Michigan Quilt Project; Michigan State University Museum Collection; Women of Color Quilters Network; Quilts and Human Rights; Black Diaspora Quilt History Project","InstNameF003":["Michigan State University Museum"],"InstInvContrNumF004":"15.0167","InstInvContrNumF004a":"2014:55.45","essay":"This quilt documents the Amistad and the Transatlantic slave trade.

My quilts are based on contemporary patterns from our past to our present. However, my main pursuit has been the construction of quilts that are not based on designed patterns, but on the personal initiatives and designs used by the African-American women. My purpose in quiltmaking is to revive and to maintain an interest in the art form of quilting. Another objective is to relate the history and cultural relevance that Southern African-American women played in contributing a very rich and important legacy to the history of this nation for others to appreciate; to feel proud of, to profit and to learn from. \r\nI wish also to use this art form of quilting to display and to narrate that the quilts made by African-American women illustrated a theme. Many of their quilts were classified as "Housetops," "Pig-Pens," "Half-Log Cabins," "Lazy Gal" and "Cattle Guard." The string/diamond quilts were considered the earliest form of quilting patterns used by slave women. They took the small pieces of string and other remnants, after making the "master's clothes and quilts, to construct quilts of their own. The diamond shapes in these quilts represent birth, life, death and rebirth. \r\nGenerally speaking, quilting can be viewed as a tailoring craft, and most likely to have had its origins with African-American males who were slave tailors. In fact, it could have been the slave tailors who gathered up scraps of materials from the slave master's shops, homes and gave them to the women to sew a variety of quilts know as "Scrap or patchwork quilts."","QuiltTitleF009":"An African-American Patchwork Quilt","interviewerF007e":"Aleia Brown","DateDataF006b":"2/24/2015","QuiltTopF054":"Bostick, Edward","LocMadeF057a":"Brooklyn","ProvStateF057d":"New York (NY)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"2000-2025","DateFinishF023b":"2001","PresUseF062":["Artwork/wall hanging"],"GenderF098":["Male"],"EthnicF101":"African American","NameGroupF120":"Women of Color Quilters Network","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"91\"","OverallLengthF012b":"95 1/2\"","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Black","Blue","Green","Red"],"OtherColorF014c":"Many different colors and patterns","OverCondF015":"Excellent/like new","TypeInscripF019":["Place","Single Inscription"],"ContInscripF020":"Edward Bostick [Address] Brooklyn, NY [Zip] [Phone number]","OtherMethodInscripF021a":"Handwritten","LocInscripF022":["on back"],"OtherLocInscripF022a":"Bottom left","LayFormatF024":"Block pattern","NumBlockF026":"35","ArrangeBlockF028":"Straight","SpacingF029":["Side by side"],"NumBordersF033":"1","BordDescF034":"Border 5 3/4\", black background with machine quilted floral design.","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton"],"FabPrintF037":["Novelty"],"UniqueF038h":"Long-armed quilted","EmbMatF039":["Cotton thread"],"FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton"],"MatUsedF044":["Cotton"],"ConstrucBindF046":["Front turned to back"],"WidthBindF047":"less than a half inch","BindWidthF047a":"3/8\"","MatUsedF048":"Cannot tell","BattLoftF048a":"Thin","QuiltTechF049":["Machine quilting"],"TopSourceF064":["Original to maker"],"IdentPersonF006":["Quilt collector"],"OwnershipF082":"Public- Michigan State University Museum","OwnerNameF082a":"Michigan State University Museum","OwnerAddressF083":"409 West Circle Drive","OwnerCityF084":"East Lansing","OwnerCountyF085":"Ingham","OwnerStateF086":"Michigan (MI)","OwnerZipF087":"48824","ProvenanceF058a":"From the Collection of Carolyn Mazloomi","ReposFile":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-6764/15.0145.jpg"],"zoom":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-6764/15.0145-zoom.jpg"],"verify":"yes","verifiedby":"Beth Donaldson","dateverified":"2017-03-24","dateverified_era":"CE","function":"Image - large display (550 or more pixels)","file medium":"image","file format":"jpeg","Contributing Institutions":"MATRIX: Center for Humane Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University and Michigan State University Museum","Publisher":"Quilt Index","Resource Type":"StillImage","ImageConF075a":"Quilt","ImageTypeF076":"Color","SourceF077":"Digital","photocredit079a1":"Pearl Yee Wong","HolderF080a":"Michigan State University Museum, all rights reserved","Pattern":"AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN PATCHWORK QUILT","Maker":"[\"BOSTICK, EDWARD\"]","Date":"2000-2025","legacy_kid":"1E-3D-2980","project_id":"12","form_id":"8","owner":"1","created_at":"2020-04-25 18:34:08","updated_at":"2024-02-23 19:05:00"},"sort":["AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN PATCHWORK QUILT"]},{"_index":"main_quilt_index_quilt_1_25_","_type":"_doc","_id":"q61gWZEB8akQsUwej7R-","_score":null,"_source":{"kid":"12-8-8218","InstProjNameF003a":"Michigan Quilt Project; Michigan State University Museum Collection","InstNameF003":["Michigan State University Museum"],"InstInvContrNumF004":"86.0091","InstInvContrNumF004a":"7595.2","description":"An Ornithological Quilt (Pictorial Blocks) \r\nChloe A.

Kimball, by whom she had two daughters. In addition to her quiltmaking, Kimball enjoyed reading, drawing, singing, and playing the piano. Fond of nature, she made at least two other quilts containing birds and flowers, in addition to other types of quilts, some of which were given as wedding gifts. This quilt passed first to Kimball’s daughter, Leora Kimball Rinehard, and then to her great-granddaughter, Kathleen Common Schmid, who donated it to the MSU Museum. \r\n \r\nIn this quilt, 42 square white blocks, separated by orange sashes, provide the backgrounds for the appliqued and embroidered designs. A different bird is pictured and identified in each of 40 blocks. The remaining 2 blocks contain the signature of the quiltmaker, the place where the quilt was made, the date, and the quilt's title, An Ornithological Quilt. The quilting has been done in diamond, diagonal, fan, and straight-line designs.

Hearing him speak for the first time, I felt hope unlike anything that I have ever experienced before in regards to our national political arena. The photos I took of Mr. Obama hung on my studio inspiration wall for a number of years before he was elected as our President. This photo became the image used in this art quilt. Started before the election, I only knew a few things about the ultimate visual image I was trying to portray in this quilt. One, the face of Obama needed to be all colors of the world since he has such a global connection to so many. Two, the word hope, embedded into the piecing, needed to serve as one of the fundamental design images. Mr. Obama gave the state of Illinois hope during his Senate election and again in the presidential campaign. Finally, the words during the year before the election set our country on fire with a lucidity we desperately needed. The words too, needed to be a central design element. Besides being a studio artist, I am also a veteran public high school teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience. Like a patchwork quilt, my dual lives are interwoven. I brainstormed with ninth and tenth grade students; my question to them was \"what words come to mind when you think of the election?\" The words the students generated were indicative of the awareness the students had of the importance of this election. Twenty-five of the words were from an autistic student. In January 2009 the world changed. And then there was hope...

This piece addresses the racial disparity in the United States criminal justice system. Black on black violence is at extremely high levels and should be a part of the national discussion about gun control, gun violence, joblessness and low graduation levels for African American males. As the mother of an African American male child and a social worker the topic is very important to me. The quilt looks at profiling, gun violence, poor education and children of single parent homes. It questions why would a country would be willing to “throw away” this segment of our society that could be productive and working toward the national good? I was deeply touched by the response of several students at Michigan State University who wrote me when the quilt was exhibited at the university as part of its human rights exhibit. I have found that male students particularly identified with the imagery and content of the quilt. If it continues to promote discussion about the topic then I am very pleased indeed. \r\n \r\n--Marion Coleman","QuiltTitleF009":"Angry Young Men","QuiltTopF054":"Coleman, Marion","QuiltedByF055":"Coleman, Marion","IfQownerF007b":["Purchased the quilt"],"LocMadeF057a":"Castro Valley","ProvStateF057d":"California (CA)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"2000-2025","DateFinishF023b":"2006","ReasonsF060":["Art or personal expression"],"PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"GenderF098":["Female"],"CityF106a":"Castro Valley","StateF107":"California (CA)","CountryF108":["United States"],"EthnicF101":"African American","OccupationF115":"Social worker, teaching artist, public artist","NameGroupF120":"African American Quilt Guild of Oakland; Women of Color Quilters Network; Studio Art Quilt Associates","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"47\"","OverallLengthF012b":"49 1/2\"","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Black","Gray","Red","Yellow","White"],"OverCondF015":"Excellent/like new","TypeInscripF019":["Message"],"ContInscripF020":"Words photo-transfered and strewn over the surface include: Help, Angry, Youth, innocent, education, violence, crime, prison, lack of public will, neglect, poverty, justice, child parents.","LayFormatF024":"Medallion or framed center","SizeBlockF027":"various","SpacingF029":["Other"],"OtherSpaceF029a":"Different sized rectangular blocks, straight stitch machine appliqued over a pieced background.","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton","Silk"],"UniqueF037b":"fusing, raw edge applique, stenciling, free motion quilting","ConstrucF038":["Machine Piecing"],"ConstrucF038b":["Machine Applique"],"UniqueF038h":"Fiber collage","ConstrucF038g":["Painting"],"FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton"],"ConstrucBindF046":["Unfinished/raw edge"],"MatUsedF048":"Polyester","QuiltTechF049":["Machine quilting"],"DesignF052d":"Jagged","FeaturesF053":"\"Angry Young Men is a fiber collage quilt that examines urban violence, the criminal justice system in the United States, and community ambivalence toward the loss of a generation of young African American men.
