The quilt was won during the raffle by current owner Thelma McClung, the mother of a Houston Chi Omega alumna.","ReasonsF060":["Fundraising"],"OtherF060a":"also to commemorate the Texas Sesquicentennial in 1986","QDesignF060b":["Artwork/wall hanging"],"PresUseF062":["Artwork/wall hanging","Keepsake/memento"],"SourceMatF063":["Purchased new"],"TopSourceF064":["Traditional pattern variation"],"OthTopSourceF064a":"historic and patriotic symbols of Texas","ExhibitListF067a":"“Great Texas Quilt RoundUp”, Austin, 1986; “Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1936-1986,” 16th Annual International Quilt Festival, November, 1990, Houston, Texas.\r\n","ContestListF071a":"Grand prize winner, \"Great Texas Quilt RoundUp,\" Austin, Texas, 1986.","OtherSourceMat":"Texas Sesquicentennial Quilt Association, Texas Quilt Search Archives","RelItemsF088a":"Bresenhan, Karoline Patterson and Nancy O'Bryant Puentes, Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, Vol. II, 1936-1986 (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1990), p. 158-159.","OwnershipF082":"Private","OwnerNameF082a":"McClung, Thelma","OwnerStateF086":"Texas (TX)","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"SourceInfoF088b":"Texas Sesquicentennial Quilt Association's Texas Quilt Search Archives","DateObtainedF088c":"1990","GenderF098":["Group"],"CityF106a":"Houston","StateF107":"Texas (TX)","CountryF108":["United States"],"photocredit079a1":"Sharon Risedorph","DateF079_era":"CE","DateF079":1988,"AccessF080":"Restricted","HolderF080a":"Assistant Director Winedale","ReposFile":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/25-21-98/TexasWinedale-a0a0y3-a_6589.jpg"],"Detail 1":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/25-21-98/4F-88-176-detail.jpg"],"Detail 1 Caption":"detail","verify":"yes","verifiedby":"Adams, Katherine J.","dateverified":"2007-08-29","dateverified_era":"CE","Pattern":"TEXAS STAR OF INDEPENDENCE QUILT","Maker":"[\"WEISHEIT, MARGE\"]","Date":"1976-1999","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_0129.jpg","ImageConF075a":"whole quilt","ImageTypeF076":"Color","SourceF077":"positive/transparency","CreditLineF080b":"Winedale","CopyRestF080c":"Winedale\r\nP.O.

The Turners prospered; George Turner was well known in business, finance, and ranching circles during the second half of the 19th century. Mary Turner was a devoted wife and mother. Tragically, she lost both of her sons, though one left a daughter, Nellie P. Turner, who became the sole heir to her grandparents' estate.

Each donor had his signature carefully placed on separate blocks of muslin before the red fabric was trimmed around each name and appliqued in place. In all there are more than 500 names on this quilt, and the quilt raised over $300 for the Red Cross. The five-pointed stars are hand pieced and appliqued over the block seam junctures.

Once Mrs. Stanfield added all the names to this quilt, she donated it to the Red Cross to be sold at auction. The high bidder was a Dr. Parnell, who then returned the quilt to Mrs. Stanfield in appreciation for her work. When Dr. Parnell learned that Mrs. Stanfield was a seamstress he asked her to do sewing for his wife. Her skills at turning the doctor's cuffs and collars led her into tailoring for \"dozens of professional men, including a federal judge for more than twenty years.\" She did all her work on a Singer Treadle Machine. When the machine was later converted with a electric motor she claimed it \"slowed her down.\" Mrs. Stanfield's sewing skills saw her four children through high school and one through college. Her youngest son and owner of this Red Cross quilt remembers being one of the best dressed boys in school because of the clothes his mother sewed for him--he wore his first store-bought tie and shirt on the day he graduated from high school. Anna Clare and her husband George Washington Stanfield raised four children and for a time ran a general store in Gorman, Texas. The couple made overnight trips in two peddler's wagons out to the country to trade staples, hardware, and notions for eggs, chickens, butter, and other items.","ReasonsF060":["Fundraising"],"QDesignF060b":["Bedding, special occasion"],"PresUseF062":["Keepsake/memento"],"SourceMatF063":["Purchased new"],"TopSourceF064":["Original to maker"],"ExhibitListF067a":"One of 62 Texas quilts exhibited in “Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1836-1936,” Texas State Capitol Rotunda, Austin, Texas, April 19-21, 1986.","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. 132-133; quilt featured on the cover of Texas Homes, March 1986.","OwnershipF082":"Private","OwnerNameF082a":"J.

The blocks were cut from muslin and fabric appliqued on top. Blocks completed depicted various Huntsville structures and historic events, including a railroad accident, the Sam Houston Museum, and a scene at Huntsville Prison, complete with a mounted guard overseeing prisoners. Completed blocks were sewn together and integrated through additional applique. A back and borders were added, then there was a group quilting to finish the quilt over a July 4th weekend. Within days of completion, the quilt was hanging in the Sam Houston Museum in time for the commemorative celebration.","MakerGroupNameF097":"Huntsville Grandpersons Center","QuiltTopF054":"Goodin, Mabel","QuiltedByF055":"Schultz, Bessie","OthPeopleF056":"Norris, Roberta","LocMadeF057a":"Huntsville","ProvCountyF057b":"Walker","ProvStateF057d":"Texas (TX)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"AcquiredF058":"Presentation/award","ProvenanceF058a":"This quilt was made by fourteen members of the Huntsville Grandpersons Center as a project to celebrate the city's 151th birthday.

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.

One of the quilt maker's sons remembers his father as selling and demonstrating sewing machines, among other jobs.","ReasonsF060":["Gift or presentation"],"OtherF060a":"commemorates family history","QDesignF060b":["Bedding, special occasion"],"PresUseF062":["Keepsake/memento"],"SourceMatF063":["Purchased new"],"TopSourceF064":["Original to maker"],"PattSourceF065":["Original to maker"],"AddNotesF066":"fine example of American folk art","ExhibitListF067a":"One of 62 Texas quilts exhibited in “Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1836-1936,” Texas State Capitol Rotunda, Austin, Texas, April 19-21, 1986.","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. 110-111.","OwnershipF082":"Private","OwnerNameF082a":"Christine, Bruce, Ruth, and Amanda Roberson","OwnerStateF086":"Texas (TX)","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"SourceInfoF088b":"Texas Sesquicentennial Quilt Association's Texas Quilt Search records","DateObtainedF088c":"1983-1985","GenderF098":["Male"],"BirthDateF099":"03/14/1868","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Texas","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","MarriageF099b":"1892","DeathF100":"10/21/1925","OccupationF104":" carpenter, farmer, horse breeder, demonstrated and sold sewing machines","EnviroF104c":["Rural"],"FatherNameF109":"Roberson, Thomas N.

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.

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.

She married Milton Green Parkey, and the couple had seven children, five of which were sons, between 1860 and 1873. In 1884, Mr. Parkey and two sons came to Texas to homestead, settling in Mankins, Archer County. Mrs. Parkey and another son joined them in Texas in 1888, leaving the two older sons in Tennessee to care for the family farm. Part of her journey to Texas included travel by river flatboat. Mrs. Parkey lived in a dugout while the family built a brick house. The family was very successful over the years: by 1900 the family owned 5,000 acres; by 1939 their ranch had grown to 30,000 acres, and by 1957 the Parkey family owned three ranches in three Texas counties: Archer, Baylor, and Erath. Mrs. Parkey died in 1926 at age eighty-six.

She moved with her family to Tennessee, then to Alabama in 1820. In 1846 she and her husband Milton moved to Texas with their eight children. The journey was by covered wagon and took six weeks. Milton, a former Alabama state senator, settled his family on String Prairie in Burleson, now Lee, County, near Lexington. This land is still in the family.
