In 1868, on the occasion of Emily Ann's fortieth birthday, three generations of Prothro women quilted this quilt, presumably including the original maker Mary Prothro.

Perhaps the most fascinating story behind one of the blocks is the story of the centipede. As the quilt owner tells it, \"When my father, John Hicks Florence, was about a year and a half old, Grandma Julie had to take him with her when she worked in the garden. One day he screamed, and when she reached him, she found that he had picked up a centipede and put it in his mouth. This caused him to have what is called a 'Geographical Tongue.'

The quilt was made for and is owned by Nancy O'Bryant Puentes, one of the authors. She recalls its history with this story: \"This particular Dresden Plate quilt was made as an apology of sorts to the owner by her grandmother, who was unhappy with the wedding quilt top left for her by her great grandmother. In this family, the great grandmother had pieced quilt tops for the birth of each great grandchild, but died before piecing a special top for this baby. So the great grandchild was to be given a Touching Stars top that had been pieced much earlier, in fabrics from about 1915 to 1920. Her grandmother never was happy with the idea. 'Granny always disliked the top, saying \"It's too dark. . .\" and Great Granny never intended it to be a wedding quilt for a girl,\" said the owner.' Her grandmother pieced the plates for this Dresden Plate around 1966. She wanted the top to be a replacement for the other, dark top, but died the following year. 'When I married, the family decided that my wedding quilt should be the Touching Stars top from Great-Granny, so that's what was quilted at my wedding quilting bee.' the owner recalled. But her mother, Helen Pearce O'Bryant, decided to carry out her own mother's wishes and had an aunt applique the pastel plates down onto a soft turquoise typical of the 1960s. 'Then that aunt and another, my great aunts, Minnie and Egy, quilted it in a lovely cobweb quilting pattern . . . To make sure that the Dresden Plate quilt Granny had wanted for my wedding quilt was pretty and feminine, my mother had them finish it with a ruffle.\"","ReasonsF060":["Wedding"],"OtherF060a":"bride's quilt","QDesignF060b":["Bedding, special occasion"],"PresUseF062":["Bedding, special occasion","Keepsake/memento"],"SourceMatF063":["Sewing scraps"],"OthSourceF063a":"background fabric was purchased new","TopSourceF064":["Public domain/traditional pattern"],"AddNotesF066":"Dresden Plate fabrics are scrap bag pieces from late 1930s fabrics","ExhibitListF067a":"“Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1936-1986,” 16th Annual International Quilt Festival, November, 1990, Houston, Texas.","OtherSourceMat":"Texas Sesquicentennial Quilt Association’s Texas Quilt Search Archives","RelItemsF088a":"Bresenhan, Karoline Patterson and Nancy O'Bryant Puentes, Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1990), p. 92-93.","OwnershipF082":"Private","OwnerNameF082a":"Nancy Helen O'Bryant Puentes","OwnerStateF086":"Texas (TX)","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"SourceInfoF088b":"Texas Sesquicentennial Quilt Association's Texas Quilt Search Archives","DateObtainedF088c":"1989","MaidenF097b":"Glaeser, Ella Wilhelmina","GenderF098":["Female"],"BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","DeathF100":"1967","UniqueF104b":"homemaker","WhyQuiltF119":["Gifts","Pleasure"],"photocredit079a1":"Sharon Risedorph","DateF079_era":"CE","DateF079":1988,"AccessF080":"Restricted","HolderF080a":"Assistant Director Winedale","ReposFile":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/25-21-63/TexasWinedale-a0a0v0-a_6589.jpg"],"Detail 1":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/25-21-63/4F-88-154-detail.jpg"],"Detail 1 Caption":"detail","verify":"yes","verifiedby":"Adams, Katherine J.","dateverified":"2007-08-26","dateverified_era":"CE","Pattern":"DRESDEN PLATE","Maker":"[\"PEARCE, ELLA WILHELMINA GLAESER\"]","Date":"1950-1975","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","function":"Image - medium display (250-550 pixels)","file medium":"image","file format":"jpeg","InvenNumF075":"tqs_0096.jpg","ImageConF075a":"whole quilt","ImageTypeF076":"Color","SourceF077":"positive/transparency","CreditLineF080b":"Winedale","CopyRestF080c":"Winedale\r\nP.O.

Karey notes that family tree quilts are extremely rare and that this one exhibits a mastery of the machine quilting technique. The quilt maker demonstrated and sold sewing machines and seems to have perfected the use of the machine and possibly the new pressure foot attachment available by 1893. Karey also notes that the quilt maker has accomplished a readable script lettering--the curves of such lettering would have required pivoting the entire quilt around under the needle.

Mr. Hubbard had come to Texas as a teenager with a large party from Georgia, including his married older sister Eveline Hubbard Hill. The trip to Texas was difficult: it took nine days to cross the Gulf from New Orleans to Columbia, then there were months of waiting in a camp until wet lowlands dried sufficiently to be crossed. Jane and Robert Hubbard had six children, though only two outlived the parents. Jane died when her husband was 47 years old, which may have been sometime in the late 1860s.

She taught one year before she married. Her mother taught her to knit and sew. From about sixteen years old she made clothing.

She moved with her mother and siblings to Travis County, Texas, after her father died in 1852. Two years later the family moved to the head of Berry's Creek, near Florence, eighteen miles northwest of Georgetown in Williamson County. Martha Virginia married Civil War veteran John Thomas Moore on February 11, 1869; this quilt is said to have been part of her trousseau. The couple later moved to Ballinger, Runnels County, where they lived until Martha Virginia's death in 1912. The quilt was handed down in the family, and its current owner, great granddaughter Mary Love Berryman, inherited it from her mother.","QuiltHistF059":"The quiltmaker was known as an expert needleworker, as were her two daughters.","ReasonsF060":["Wedding"],"QDesignF060b":["Bedding, daily use"],"PresUseF062":["Keepsake/memento"],"SourceMatF063":["Unknown"],"TopSourceF064":["Public domain/traditional pattern"],"ExhibitListF067a":"One of 62 Texas quilts exhibited in “Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1836-1936,” ","OtherSourceMat":"Texas Sesquicentennial Quilt Association’s Texas Quilt Search Archives","RelItemsF088a":"Bresenhan, Karoline Patterson and Nancy O'Bryant Puentes, Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, Vol. I, 1836-1936 (Austin: University of Texas Press), p. 60-61.","OwnershipF082":"Private","OwnerNameF082a":"Berryman, Mary Love","OwnerStateF086":"Texas (TX)","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"SourceInfoF088b":"Texas Sesquicentennial Quilt Association's Texas Quilt Search Archives","DateObtainedF088c":"1983-1985","MaidenF097b":"Morris, Martha Virginia","GenderF098":["Female"],"BirthDateF099":"09/07/1847","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Texas","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","MarriageF099b":"02/11/1869","DeathF100":"03/18/1912","OccupationF104":"homemaker","FatherNameF109":"Morris, John","MotherNameF111":"Morris, Sarah E.
