Until 1910, more than 90 percent of the African-American population lived in the American South. Some historians differentiate between a first Great Migration (1916-1930), which saw about 1.6 million people move from mostly rural areas to northern industrial cities, and a Second Great Migration (1940-1970), which began after the Great Depression and brought at least 5 million people to the north and to California and other western states. African-Americans moved from the 14 states of the South, especially Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Georgia. Big cities were the principal destinations of southerners throughout the two phases of the Great Migration. Since the Civil Rights Movement, a less rapid reverse migration has occurred. Dubbed the New Great Migration, it has seen a gradual increase of African-American movement to the South, generally to states and cities where economic opportunities are the best. The reasons include economic difficulties of cities in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States, growth of jobs in the \"New South\" and its lower cost of living, family and kinship ties, and improved racial relations.","OwnerNameF010":"16 Patch, Double Four Patch","AddNotesF132":"Delia Bennett and Minder Coleman: Delia Pettway Bennett (1892-1976) and Minder Pettway Coleman (1903-1999)--known quilters with established reputations-were sisters, two of the five children of S. S. Pettway (born in October 1863) and his wife Pleasant Bryant (born in June 1870). They were born and raised on a farm in Gee's Bend, Wilcox County, Alabama.
Delia Pettway married Eddie Bennett (1886-1976) about 1909. The couple raised eleven children-seven girls and four boys-and farmed on Brown Quarter's in Gee's Bend. Delia Bennett was the matriarch of perhaps the largest family of quilt producers in Gee's Bend. Many of her daughters and granddaughters-including Ella Mae Irby (1923-2001), Creola Bennett Pettway (born 1927), Linda Diane Bennett (1955-1988), and Mary L. Bennett (b. 1942)-also were quiltmakers. The \"Housetop\" form, with its many variations, has always been this family's preferred pattern.
Minder Pettway married Willie Coleman (1897-1978) by 1920. The couple had eight children-two sons and six daughters-raised on a farm in Gee's Bend. Minder Coleman was one of the leading citizens of Gee's Bend. She was president of Gee's Bend Farms, an agricultural cooperative established in 1930 by the Farm Security Administration and was also a member of the project's weaving cooperative. It is said that Minder, Mattie Ross, and Patsy Mosely wove draperies for the Roosevelt White House as well as blue-and-white striped cloth that was made into a suit for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In addition to her skills as a weaver, Minder was an accomplished quilter. She became vice president of the Gee's Bend quilting bee when it was established in 1966, remaining active in this group until 1978. Minder's daughter, Minnie Sue Coleman (1926-2012), carried on the family's quilting tradition.1 ---Written by Chris Jeryan

McCord, like other thrifty housewives of the era, sewed her quilts from fabric she had on hand, mostly clothing scraps. Her everyday life was filled with household and farm chores; her “scraps” of leisure time were filled with masterful quilt making. \r\n\r\nSusan and her husband Green McCord farmed an eighty-acre farm in McCordsville, Indiana. Here Susan McCord kept house, brought up her children, sewed clothing for her family, knitted accessories, practiced homeopathic medicine, read her bible through each year, participated in sewing bees, gardened, took care of the cows and chickens--and found time to make at least thirteen extraordinary bed quilts. \r\n\r\nMcCord used traditional materials, techniques and patterns—but her considerable skill at manipulating fabric, color and design turned the traditional into something exceptional. McCord’s bed coverings stand as the extraordinary legacy of an otherwise little-known Indiana farmwife.\r\n","DateDataF006b":"2013","QuiltTopF054":"McCord, Susan Noakes","QuiltedByF055":"McCord, Susan Noakes","IfQownerF007b":["Purchased the quilt"],"LocMadeF057a":"McCordsville","ProvCountyF057b":"Hancock","ProvStateF057d":"Indiana (IN)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"1876-1900","DateFinishF023b":"1880-1900","OtherExDateF023d":"1880 -1890","PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"GenderF098":["Female"],"CityF106a":"McCordsville","CountyF106":"Hancock","StateF107":"Indiana (IN)","CountryF108":["United States"],"MaidenF097b":"Noakes","BirthDateF099":"10-07-1829","BirthplaceCityF098a":"Butler","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Ohio","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","EnviroF104c":["Rural"],"DeathF100":"12-12-1909","RelAffF103":"Methodist","OccupationF104":"Farmwife","FatherNameF109":"Noakes, Amos","BplaceF109a":"Vermont","MotherNameF111":"Noakes, Mahala Weathers","BplaceF111a":"Indiana","MarriageF099b":"08-02-1849","SpouseF113":"McCord, Green","OccupationF115":"Farmer","NoChildF116":"7","NoFemF116a":"2","NoMaleF116b":"5","NumQuiltsF123":"5-20 quilts","TypeObjF008":"Quilt top with unfinished edge","OverallWidthF12a":"69 in","OverallLengthF012b":"81.75 in","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Black","Blue","Brown","Green"],"OverallColorF14b":["Dark colors"],"OverCondF015":"Very good/almost new","LayFormatF024":"Block pattern","NumBlockF026":"42","SizeBlockF027":"12 in x 12 in","ArrangeBlockF028":"Straight","SpacingF029":["Side by side"],"BlockStyleF030a":["Squares"],"FiberTypesF035":["Cotton","Silk","Wool"],"FabricTypeF036":["Flannel","Velvet"],"FabPrintF037":["Geometric","Plaid","Solid/plain","Striped","Other"],"UniqueF037b":"Machine embroidered dress trim","ConstrucF038":["Hand Piecing","Foundation Piecing"],"EmbellTechF038f":"Yes","ConstrucF038g":["Embroidery"],"EmbMatF039":["Wool thread","Other Embroidery"],"QuiltTechF049":["Not quilted"],"KnotsF051b":"no","FeaturesF053":"This Victorian-era “crazy” quilt looks very modern.

McCord’s bed coverings stand as the extraordinary legacy of an otherwise little-known Indiana farmwife.\r\n","DateDataF006b":"2013","QuiltTopF054":"McCord, Susan Noakes","QuiltedByF055":"McCord, Susan Noakes","RelnQuiltF007":["Quilt owner"],"IfQownerF007b":["Purchased the quilt"],"LocMadeF057a":"McCordsville","ProvCountyF057b":"Hancock","ProvStateF057d":"Indiana (IN)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"1876-1900","DateFinishF023b":"ca.1890","OtherExDateF023d":"ca. 1890","PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"GenderF098":["Female"],"CityF106a":"McCordsville","CountyF106":"Hancock","StateF107":"Indiana (IN)","CountryF108":["United States"],"MaidenF097b":"Noakes","BirthDateF099":"10-07-1829","BirthplaceCityF098a":"Butler","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Ohio","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","EnviroF104c":["Rural"],"DeathF100":"12-12-1909","RelAffF103":"Methodist","OccupationF104":"Farmwife","FatherNameF109":"Noakes, Amos","BplaceF109a":"Vermont","MotherNameF111":"Noakes, Mahala Weathers","BplaceF111a":"Indiana","MarriageF099b":"08-02-1849","SpouseF113":"McCord, Green","OccupationF115":"Farmer","NoChildF116":"7","NoFemF116a":"2","NoMaleF116b":"5","NumQuiltsF123":"5-20 quilts","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"79 in","OverallLengthF012b":"74 in","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Beige or Tan","Blue","Green","Pink","Red","White"],"QuiltSpecColorF014a":["Double Pink","Indigo Blue"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"OverCondF015":"Good/moderate use","LayFormatF024":"Block pattern","NumBlockF026":"95 whole, 29 half and 2 quarter blocks","SizeBlockF027":"10 in X 6.5 in","ArrangeBlockF028":"Straight","SpacingF029":["Separated by plain sashing"],"BlockStyleF030a":["Diamonds"],"NumBlockPatF030":"1","NumBordersF033":"1","BordDescF034":"Border is 1.25 inches on all sides.","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton"],"FabricTypeF036":["Muslin"],"FabPrintF037":["Checked","Dotted","Floral","Geometric","Plaid","Print","Solid/plain","Striped"],"ConstrucF038":["Hand Piecing"],"EmbellTechF038f":"No","FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton"],"ColorBackingF040b":["Cream"],"NumPiecesF042":"3","WidthPiecesF042a":"35 in; 35 in; 4.5 in","DescBackF043":["Hand sewn","Solid/plain"],"ConstrucBindF046":["Edges turned in/ no separate binding"],"MatUsedF048":"Cotton","BattLoftF048a":"Thin","QuiltTechF049":["Hand quilting"],"ThrTypeF049a":"Cotton","ThrColorF049b":"White","NumStitchedF050":"6-8 stitches per inch","WidthF051a":"1 in","KnotsF051b":"no","DesignF052a":["Elbow/fan"],"FeaturesF053":"This popular patchwork pattern is called Diamond Field.

McCord, like other thrifty housewives of the era, sewed her quilts from fabric she had on hand, mostly clothing scraps. Her everyday life was filled with household and farm chores; her “scraps” of leisure time were filled with masterful quilt making. \r\n\r\nSusan and her husband Green McCord farmed an eighty-acre farm in McCordsville, Indiana. Here Susan McCord kept house, brought up her children, sewed clothing for her family, knitted accessories, practiced homeopathic medicine, read her bible through each year, participated in sewing bees, gardened, took care of the cows and chickens--and found time to make at least thirteen extraordinary bed quilts. \r\n\r\nMcCord used traditional materials, techniques and patterns—but her considerable skill at manipulating fabric, color and design turned the traditional into something exceptional.

The Hunters were tenant farmers who grew cotton and corn, tended a vegetable garden, and raised hogs, chicken and cattle. They lived in a simple, two-room house that had no running water, electricity or central heat. The outside world came to them through a battery-powered radio and a wind-up phonograph. Though the Hunters didn’t have much in the way of material goods or the latest 20th century technology, they never went hungry, raising much of their own food. And, in a place where people had to walk most everywhere they wanted to go and where nobody had telephones, close personal ties to family and community enriched the Hunter family’s lives. \r\n\r\nQuilter Susana Hunter turned the “fabric” of everyday life into eye-catching quilts with an abstract, asymmetrical and often modern feel. Represented in the fabrics that make up Susana Hunter’s quilts are work clothes worn from the family’s toil in the fields, sacks from the cotton seed they planted each spring, scraps from the clothes Susana sewed for her family, and bulk sugar sacks from the food staples the Hunters bought at the local general store. \r\n\r\nSusana’s quilts warmed her family during chilly Alabama winters in the inadequately heated home. They added splashes of color to the unadorned living space—a cheerful kaleidoscope of vivid pattern and design against newspaper-covered walls. Susana very rarely bought new fabric for her quilts; she used what was at hand. Yet the lack of materials didn’t restrict this resourceful quilter’s creativity. Susana Hunter could cast her artistic eye over her pile of worn clothing, dress scraps, and left-over feed and fertilizer sacks—and envision her next quilt. \r\n","DateDataF006b":"2013","QuiltTopF054":"Hunter, Susana Allen","QuiltedByF055":"Hunter, Susana Allen","IfQownerF007b":["Purchased the quilt"],"ProvCountyF057b":"Wilcox","ProvStateF057d":"Alabama (AL)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"1950-1975","DateFinishF023b":"ca. 1950","OtherExDateF023d":"ca. 1950","PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"GenderF098":["Female"],"CountyF106":"Wilcox","StateF107":"Alabama (AL)","CountryF108":["United States"],"MaidenF097b":"Allen","BirthDateF099":"02-14-1912","BirthplaceCityF098a":"Ackerville","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Alabama","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","EnviroF104c":["Rural"],"DeathF100":"11-11-2005","EthnicF101":"African American ","OccupationF104":"Tenant Farmer","FatherNameF109":"Allen, Tobe","BplaceF109a":"Alabama","MotherNameF111":"Allen, Mary Richardson ","BplaceF111a":"Alabama","SpouseF113":"Hunter, Julius","OccupationF115":"Tenant Farmer","NumQuiltsF123":"more than 50","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"68.25 in","OverallLengthF012b":"80 in","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Blue","Coral","Gray","Pink","Teal","Yellow"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"OverCondF015":"Good/moderate use","TypeInscripF019":["Other"],"ContInscripF020":"Sack one:\r\nTA NUMBER 5615/\r\nWHEAT FLOUR/\r\nWNRICHED, UNBLEACHED/\r\nDONATED BY THE PEOPLE/\r\nOF THE/\r\nUNITED STATES OF AMERICA/\r\nNOT TO BE SOLD OR EXCHANGED/\r\nCONTRACT NO.

The quilts are pieced in a design-as-you-go improvisational style found among both blacks and whites in poorer, more isolated pockets of the rural South. \r\n\r\nMaking an improvisational quilt top required a continual stream of creativity during the entire process, as the quilter made hundreds of design decisions on the fly, fashioning an attractive whole out of whatever materials—including fabric scraps, feed sacks, and worn clothing—were at hand. Overall visual impact mattered most. Size and shape was determined by the scraps available at the time. \r\n\r\nThis type of creative recycling was more than a means of survival. For many rural quilters, it was also a matter of pride to be able to “make something pretty out of nothing.” Susana Hunter wanted all of her quilts to be different. Some designs have a warm, homey feel. Many resemble abstract art. Other quilts pulsate with the visual energy created by many small, irregular pieces of vividly-colored fabric sewn together. Still others incorporate flour or rice sacks, often reserved for quilt backing, as part of the design of the carefully pieced quilt top. \r\n\r\n","SourceMatF063":["Feed or flour sacks","Other"],"OthSourceF063a":"Fabric pieces used in quilt top may be left over from a sewing project, or bolt ends that may have been received as scraps.","ExhibitListF067a":"Quilting Genius II: The Improvisational Quilts of Susana Allen Hunter, 2008.

Her everyday life was filled with household and farm chores; her “scraps” of leisure time were filled with masterful quilt making. \r\n\r\nSusan and her husband Green McCord farmed an eighty-acre farm in McCordsville, Indiana. Here Susan McCord kept house, brought up her children, sewed clothing for her family, knitted accessories, practiced homeopathic medicine, read her bible through each year, participated in sewing bees, gardened, took care of the cows and chickens--and found time to make at least thirteen extraordinary bed quilts. \r\n\r\nMcCord used traditional materials, techniques and patterns—but her considerable skill at manipulating fabric, color and design turned the traditional into something exceptional.

McCord, like other thrifty housewives of the era, sewed her quilts from fabric she had on hand, mostly clothing scraps. Her everyday life was filled with household and farm chores; her “scraps” of leisure time were filled with masterful quilt making. \r\n\r\nSusan and her husband Green McCord farmed an eighty-acre farm in McCordsville, Indiana. Here Susan McCord kept house, brought up her children, sewed clothing for her family, knitted accessories, practiced homeopathic medicine, read her bible through each year, participated in sewing bees, gardened, took care of the cows and chickens--and found time to make at least thirteen extraordinary bed quilts. \r\n\r\nMcCord used traditional materials, techniques and patterns—but her considerable skill at manipulating fabric, color and design turned the traditional into something exceptional.

The Hunters were tenant farmers who grew cotton and corn, tended a vegetable garden, and raised hogs, chicken and cattle. They lived in a simple, two-room house that had no running water, electricity or central heat. The outside world came to them through a battery-powered radio and a wind-up phonograph. Though the Hunters didn’t have much in the way of material goods or the latest 20th century technology, they never went hungry, raising much of their own food. And, in a place where people had to walk most everywhere they wanted to go and where nobody had telephones, close personal ties to family and community enriched the Hunter family’s lives. \r\n\r\nQuilter Susana Hunter turned the “fabric” of everyday life into eye-catching quilts with an abstract, asymmetrical and often modern feel. Represented in the fabrics that make up Susana Hunter’s quilts are work clothes worn from the family’s toil in the fields, sacks from the cotton seed they planted each spring, scraps from the clothes Susana sewed for her family, and bulk sugar sacks from the food staples the Hunters bought at the local general store. \r\n\r\nSusana’s quilts warmed her family during chilly Alabama winters in the inadequately heated home. They added splashes of color to the unadorned living space—a cheerful kaleidoscope of vivid pattern and design against newspaper-covered walls. Susana very rarely bought new fabric for her quilts; she used what was at hand. Yet the lack of materials didn’t restrict this resourceful quilter’s creativity. Susana Hunter could cast her artistic eye over her pile of worn clothing, dress scraps, and left-over feed and fertilizer sacks—and envision her next quilt. \r\n","DateDataF006b":"2013","QuiltTopF054":"Hunter, Susana Allen","QuiltedByF055":"Hunter, Susana Allen","IfQownerF007b":["Purchased the quilt"],"ProvCountyF057b":"Wilcox","ProvStateF057d":"Alabama (AL)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"1930-1949","DateFinishF023b":"1945-1950","OtherExDateF023d":"1945-1950","PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"GenderF098":["Female"],"CountyF106":"Wilcox","StateF107":"Alabama (AL)","CountryF108":["United States"],"MaidenF097b":"Allen","BirthDateF099":"02-14-1912","BirthplaceCityF098a":"Ackerville","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Alabama","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","EnviroF104c":["Rural"],"DeathF100":"11-11-2005","EthnicF101":"African American","OccupationF104":"Tenant Farmer","FatherNameF109":"Allen, Tobe","BplaceF109a":"Alabama","MotherNameF111":"Allen, Mary Richardson","BplaceF111a":"Alabama","SpouseF113":"Hunter, Julius","OccupationF115":"Tenant Farmer","NumQuiltsF123":"more than 50","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"68.375 in","OverallLengthF012b":"83.25","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Beige or Tan","Black","Blue","Brown","Green","Red","Yellow"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"OverCondF015":"Fair/worn","TypeInscripF019":["Other"],"ContInscripF020":"ENRICHED....CABIN HOME/\r\nENRICHED/\r\nWHITE CORN MEAL/\r\nOLD STYLE UNBLOTED.\r\n","MethodInscripF021":["Printed in the fabric"],"LocInscripF022":["on back"],"LayFormatF024":"Vertical strip","ArrangeBlockF028":"Straight","SpacingF029":["Side by side"],"NumBordersF033":"Single border on top and right; Double border on bottom.","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton"],"FabricTypeF036":["Flannel"],"FabPrintF037":["Plaid","Solid/plain"],"ConstrucF038":["Hand Piecing"],"FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton"],"ColorBackingF040b":["Beige or Tan"],"DescBackF043":["Hand sewn"],"ConstrucBindF046":["Back turned to front","Front turned to back"],"MatUsedF048":"Cotton","QuiltTechF049":["Hand quilting"],"NumStitchedF050":"5 stiches per inch.","KnotsF051b":"yes","DesignF052a":["All-over-design","Single parallel lines"],"FeaturesF053":"Created from the 1930s to the 1970s, Susana Hunter’s quilts reflect her life in rural Wilcox County, Alabama—one of the poorest counties in the United States. The quilts are pieced in a design-as-you-go improvisational style found among both blacks and whites in poorer, more isolated pockets of the rural South. \r\n\r\nMaking an improvisational quilt top required a continual stream of creativity during the entire process, as the quilter made hundreds of design decisions on the fly, fashioning an attractive whole out of whatever materials—including fabric scraps, feed sacks, and worn clothing—were at hand. Overall visual impact mattered most. Size and shape was determined by the scraps available at the time. \r\n\r\nThis type of creative recycling was more than a means of survival. For many rural quilters, it was also a matter of pride to be able to “make something pretty out of nothing.” Susana Hunter wanted all of her quilts to be different.

The timing of Jeanetta’s birth was certainly a hint of things to come: she would grow up with a passion for auto racing, and as an adult, become that sport’s “Quilt Lady.” For nearly 35 years, Jeanetta has combined her love of auto racing and her sewing talents to create unique quilts for winners of the Indianapolis 500 and other auto races. \r\n\r\nAs a little girl growing up on a Kentucky farm, Jeanetta made her own small racecars out of tobacco sticks and lard cans which she “raced everywhere [she] went.” Jeanetta’s childhood creative streak soon extended to sewing. By the time she was 12, Jeanetta began sewing quilts, filling them with cotton batting from cotton she grew herself. \r\n\r\nAs a young woman, Jeanetta started going to the race track. Soon she was speeding around an oval dirt track at the wheel of a 1950 Hudson at Beech Bend Park in Warren County, Kentucky. In the early 1950s, women racecar drivers were uncommon--and so was safety equipment. Jeanetta was dressed in a t-shirt and blue jeans for these regional races. Jeanetta soon left behind her experience as an amateur racecar driver for a career as a wife, mother, and decorator. She and her husband moved to Indianapolis in 1953.\r\n\r\nJeanetta--who attended her first Indianapolis 500 race in 1950--remained a racing fan, collecting autographs from drivers whenever she had the chance. In the mid-1970s, a friend suggested that Jeanetta use her sewing talents to create a racing-themed quilt that included these signatures. That same year, Jeanetta presented the finished quilt to 1976 Indianapolis 500 race winner Johnny Rutherford. In the years since, Jeanetta has looked through her pile of fabric and embroidery thread and cut her own quilt design patterns out of newspaper to create over 75 racing-themed quilts.

Bobby Unser’s 1981 Indianapolis 500 win became one of the most controversial finishes in racing history. Unser won the race, but was stripped of his win the following morning in favor of second place driver Mario Andretti. Since Jeanetta was to present the winning driver with a quilt the day after the race, she gave the 1981 quilt to Andretti. Unser was ultimately awarded the win in October 1981, after a lengthy appeals process. In the wake of this dispute and to mark his three Indianapolis wins (1968, 1975, and 1981), Jeanetta decided to make Bobby Unser this special quilt. \r\n\r\n","ReposFile":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-6180/2009.171.18.jpg"],"zoom":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-6180/2009.171.18.choicetonoautocorrect.jpg"],"Detail 1":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-6180/2009.171.18.d1.jpg"],"Detail 1 Caption":"Cetner of quilt","Detail 2":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-6180/2009.171.18.d4.jpg"],"Detail 2 Caption":"Detail of the cetner of the quilt","Detail 3":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-6180/2009.171.18.d3.jpg"],"Detail 3 Caption":"Detail of one of the cars","Detail 4":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-6180/2009.171.18.d2.jpg"],"Detail 4 Caption":"Detail of inscripion","AccessF080":"Restricted","CopyRestF080c":"The Henry Ford","verify":"yes","verifiedby":"A.M.Messer","dateverified":"2013-10-28","dateverified_era":"CE","IfQmakerF007a":["Made entire quilt"],"Contributing Institutions":"MATRIX: Center for Humane Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University, Michigan State University Museum","Publisher":"Quilt Index","Resource Type":"StillImage","ImageTypeF076":"Color","photocredit079a1":"The Henry Ford","HolderF080a":"The Henry Ford","CreditLineF080b":"From the Collections of The Henry Ford","DistribRestF080d":"The Henry Ford","DisplayResF080e":"The Henry Ford","LicenseF080f":"The Henry Ford","Pattern":"INDIANAPOLIS 500 QUILT","Maker":"[\"HOLDER, JEANETTA\"]","Date":"1976-1999","legacy_kid":"1E-3D-273C","project_id":"12","form_id":"8","owner":"1","created_at":"2020-04-25 18:26:03","updated_at":"2024-02-23 19:04:58"},"sort":["INDIANAPOLIS 500 QUILT"]},{"_index":"main_quilt_index_quilt_1_25_","_type":"_doc","_id":"Mq1gWZEB8akQsUweia2w","_score":null,"_source":{"kid":"12-8-6303","InstProjNameF003a":"Michigan Quilt Project; The Henry Ford Collection","InstNameF003":["Michigan State University Museum"],"InstInvContrNumF004":"13.0163","InstInvContrNumF004a":"00.3.16614","OwnerNameF010":"Lady of the Lake Quilt","DateDataF006b":"2013","RelnQuiltF007":["Quilt owner"],"ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"1876-1900","DateFinishF023b":"ca. 1895","OtherExDateF023d":"ca. 1895","PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"72 in","OverallLengthF012b":"80 in","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Pink","White"],"QuiltSpecColorF014a":["Double Pink"],"OverallColorF14b":["Two color"],"OverCondF015":"Good/moderate use","LayFormatF024":"Block pattern","NumBlockF026":"49 complete blocks; 22 half blocks","SizeBlockF027":"9 in square","ArrangeBlockF028":"On point or rotated on 45 degrees","SpacingF029":["Side by side"],"BlockStyleF030a":["Squares"],"NumBlockPatF030":"1","NumBordersF033":"2","BordDescF034":"Double pieced border on right and left side; inner border is 1.5 inches wide, outer border is 1.25 inches wide.","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton"],"FabPrintF037":["Geometric","Print"],"ConstrucF038":["Hand Piecing"],"EmbellTechF038f":"No","FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton or polyester blend"],"ColorBackingF040b":["Pink","White"],"DescBackF043":["Same fabric used throughout","Machine sewn","Print"],"MatUsedF044":["Cotton or polyester blend"],"FabStrucF045":["Plain weave"],"ConstrucBindF046":["Back turned to front","Machine sewn"],"WidthBindF047":"less than a half inch","MatUsedF048":"Cotton or polyester blend","BattLoftF048a":"Medium","QuiltTechF049":["Hand quilting"],"NumStitchedF050":"5 stitches per inch","WidthF051a":"1.25 in","DesignF052a":["In-the-ditch","Single parallel lines"],"DesignF052c":["Parallel lines"],"FeaturesF053":"The backing and the batting may include polyester or another synthetic.

After her husband's death in 1868, Sally lived with her daughter Jane and her husband Frank Grant, a farmer, and their children \"at the family home\" (the Tucker farm?). According to her grandson, Frank Tucker, in her later years Sally broke her hip twice and was confined to a wheelchair. However “she would not be idle,\" so she knitted and quilted. For her children she made silk Log Cabin quilts, and for her grandchildren she made wool quilts. (This quilt is likely the one made for grandson Frank S. Tucker.)

McCord, like other thrifty housewives of the era, sewed her quilts from fabric she had on hand, mostly clothing scraps. Her everyday life was filled with household and farm chores; her “scraps” of leisure time were filled with masterful quilt making. \r\n\r\nSusan and her husband Green McCord farmed an eighty-acre farm in McCordsville, Indiana. Here Susan McCord kept house, brought up her children, sewed clothing for her family, knitted accessories, practiced homeopathic medicine, read her bible through each year, participated in sewing bees, gardened, took care of the cows and chickens--and found time to make at least thirteen extraordinary bed quilts. \r\n\r\nMcCord used traditional materials, techniques and patterns—but her considerable skill at manipulating fabric, color and design turned the traditional into something exceptional. McCord’s bed coverings stand as the extraordinary legacy of an otherwise little-known Indiana farmwife.\r\n","DateDataF006b":"2013","QuiltTopF054":"McCord, Susan Noakes","QuiltedByF055":"McCord, Susan Noakes","RelnQuiltF007":["Quilt owner"],"IfQownerF007b":["Purchased the quilt"],"LocMadeF057a":"McCordsville","ProvCountyF057b":"Hancock","ProvStateF057d":"Indiana (IN)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"1876-1900","DateFinishF023b":"1880-1890","OtherExDateF023d":"1880-1890","PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"GenderF098":["Female"],"CityF106a":"McCordsville ","CountyF106":"Hancock","StateF107":"Indiana (IN)","CountryF108":["United States"],"MaidenF097b":"Noakes","BirthDateF099":"10-07-1829","BirthplaceCityF098a":"Butler","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Ohio","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","EnviroF104c":["Rural"],"DeathF100":"12-12-1909","RelAffF103":"Methodist","OccupationF104":"Farmwife","FatherNameF109":"Noakes, Amos","BplaceF109a":"Vermont","MotherNameF111":"Noakes, Mahala Weathers","BplaceF111a":"Indiana","MarriageF099b":"08-02-1849","SpouseF113":"McCord, Green","OccupationF115":"Farmer","NoChildF116":"7","NoFemF116a":"2","NoMaleF116b":"5","NumQuiltsF123":"5-20 quilts","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"75.5 in","OverallLengthF012b":"80.5 in","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Blue","Gold","Green","Maroon","Pink","Purple","Red","White"],"QuiltSpecColorF014a":["Double Pink"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"OverCondF015":"Good/moderate use","LayFormatF024":"Vertical strip","NumBlockF026":"13","SizeBlockF027":"75.5 in X 5 in","SpacingF029":["Separated by plain sashing"],"SashWidthF032":"1.25 in","NumBordersF033":"1","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton"],"FabricTypeF036":["Muslin"],"FabPrintF037":["Floral","Plaid","Print","Solid/plain","Striped"],"ConstrucF038":["Hand Piecing"],"ConstrucF038b":["Hand Applique"],"FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton"],"ColorBackingF040b":["White"],"NumPiecesF042":"3","WidthPiecesF042a":"34.75 in; 34 in; 6 in","DescBackF043":["Hand sewn","Solid/plain"],"ConstrucBindF046":["Edges turned in/ no separate binding","Hand sewn"],"MatUsedF048":"Cotton","BattLoftF048a":"Thin","QuiltTechF049":["Hand quilting"],"ThrTypeF049a":"Cotton","ThrColorF049b":"White","NumStitchedF050":"9-10 stitches per inch","KnotsF051b":"no","DesignF052a":["Grid diamond","Outline"],"FeaturesF053":"This stunningly beautiful quilt is indisputably Susan McCord’s masterpiece.

The Hunters were tenant farmers who grew cotton and corn, tended a vegetable garden, and raised hogs, chicken and cattle. They lived in a simple, two-room house that had no running water, electricity or central heat. The outside world came to them through a battery-powered radio and a wind-up phonograph. Though the Hunters didn’t have much in the way of material goods or the latest 20th century technology, they never went hungry, raising much of their own food. And, in a place where people had to walk most everywhere they wanted to go and where nobody had telephones, close personal ties to family and community enriched the Hunter family’s lives. Quilter Susana Hunter turned the “fabric” of everyday life into eye-catching quilts with an abstract, asymmetrical and often modern feel. Represented in the fabrics that make up Susana Hunter’s quilts are work clothes worn from the family’s toil in the fields, sacks from the cotton seed they planted each spring, scraps from the clothes Susana sewed for her family, and bulk sugar sacks from the food staples the Hunters bought at the local general store. Susana’s quilts warmed her family during chilly Alabama winters in the inadequately heated home. They added splashes of color to the unadorned living space—a cheerful kaleidoscope of vivid pattern and design against newspaper-covered walls. Susana very rarely bought new fabric for her quilts; she used what was at hand. Yet the lack of materials didn’t restrict this resourceful quilter’s creativity. Susana Hunter could cast her artistic eye over her pile of worn clothing, dress scraps, and left-over feed and fertilizer sacks—and envision her next quilt.

The quilts are pieced in a design-as-you-go improvisational style found among both blacks and whites in poorer, more isolated pockets of the rural South. Making an improvisational quilt top required a continual stream of creativity during the entire process, as the quilter made hundreds of design decisions on the fly, fashioning an attractive whole out of whatever materials—including fabric scraps, feed sacks, and worn clothing—were at hand. Overall visual impact mattered most. Size and shape was determined by the scraps available at the time. This type of creative recycling was more than a means of survival. For many rural quilters, it was also a matter of pride to be able to “make something pretty out of nothing.” Susana Hunter wanted all of her quilts to be different. Some designs have a warm, homey feel. Many resemble abstract art. Other quilts pulsate with the visual energy created by many small, irregular pieces of vividly-colored fabric sewn together. Still others incorporate flour or rice sacks, often reserved for quilt backing, as part of the design of the carefully pieced quilt top.

They lived in a simple, two-room house that had no running water, electricity or central heat. The outside world came to them through a battery-powered radio and a wind-up phonograph. Though the Hunters didn’t have much in the way of material goods or the latest 20th century technology, they never went hungry, raising much of their own food. And, in a place where people had to walk most everywhere they wanted to go and where nobody had telephones, close personal ties to family and community enriched the Hunter family’s lives. Quilter Susana Hunter turned the “fabric” of everyday life into eye-catching quilts with an abstract, asymmetrical and often modern feel. Represented in the fabrics that make up Susana Hunter’s quilts are work clothes worn from the family’s toil in the fields, sacks from the cotton seed they planted each spring, scraps from the clothes Susana sewed for her family, and bulk sugar sacks from the food staples the Hunters bought at the local general store. Susana’s quilts warmed her family during chilly Alabama winters in the inadequately heated home. They added splashes of color to the unadorned living space—a cheerful kaleidoscope of vivid pattern and design against newspaper-covered walls. Susana very rarely bought new fabric for her quilts; she used what was at hand. Yet the lack of materials didn’t restrict this resourceful quilter’s creativity. Susana Hunter could cast her artistic eye over her pile of worn clothing, dress scraps, and left-over feed and fertilizer sacks—and envision her next quilt.","DateDataF006b":"2013","QuiltTopF054":"Hunter, Susana Allen","QuiltedByF055":"Hunter, Susana Allen","IfQownerF007b":["Purchased the quilt"],"ProvCountyF057b":"Wilcox","ProvStateF057d":"Alabama (AL)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"1950-1975","DateFinishF023b":"1955-1965","OtherExDateF023d":"1955-1965","PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"GenderF098":["Female"],"CountyF106":"Wilcox","StateF107":"Alabama (AL)","CountryF108":["United States"],"MaidenF097b":"Allen","BirthDateF099":"02-14-1912","BirthplaceCityF098a":"Ackerville","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Alabama","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","EnviroF104c":["Rural"],"DeathF100":"11-11-2005","EthnicF101":"African American ","OccupationF104":"Tenant Farmer","FatherNameF109":"Allen, Tobe","BplaceF109a":"Alabama","MotherNameF111":"Allen, Mary Richardson ","BplaceF111a":"Alabama","SpouseF113":"Hunter, Julius","OccupationF115":"Tenant Farmer","NumQuiltsF123":"more than 50","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"72.5 in","OverallLengthF012b":"86 in","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Blue","Green","Navy","Pink","Purple","Red","Teal","Yellow","White"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"OverCondF015":"Good/moderate use","TypeInscripF019":["Other"],"ContInscripF020":"100 LBS./\r\nALA FERTILIZERS/\r\nBRAND AND ANALYSIS TAG ATTACHED/\r\nMANUFACTURED BY/\r\nALABAMA/\r\nFERTILIZER/\r\nCOMPANY/\r\nMONTGOMERY, ALA.","LayFormatF024":"Medallion or framed center","MedallionF031":"52 in x 40.25 in","NumBordersF033":"Double border on all sides","BordDescF034":"In border width 8.25 inch; Outer border width 7.75 inch.","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton"],"FabricTypeF036":["Flannel","Other"],"FabPrintF037":["Checked","Dotted","Floral","Novelty","Paisley","Plaid","Print","Solid/plain","Striped"],"ConstrucF038":["Hand Piecing"],"PaperF038i":"no","FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton"],"ColorBackingF040b":["Cream"],"NumPiecesF042":"19","DescBackF043":["Same fabric used throughout","Hand sewn","Print","Solid/plain"],"MatUsedF044":["Cotton"],"FabStrucF045":["Plain weave"],"ConstrucBindF046":["Back turned to front","Front turned to back"],"BindWidthF047a":".5 in to greater than 1 in","MatUsedF048":"No filling","QuiltTechF049":["Hand quilting"],"ThrColorF049b":"White","NumStitchedF050":"4-5 stitches per inch","WidthF051a":"3-3.25 in","KnotsF051b":"yes","DesignF052a":["All-over-design","Single parallel lines"],"DesignF052c":["Parallel lines"],"FeaturesF053":"Created from the 1930s to the 1970s, Susana Hunter’s quilts reflect her life in rural Wilcox County, Alabama—one of the poorest counties in the United States.

The Hunters were tenant farmers who grew cotton and corn, tended a vegetable garden, and raised hogs, chicken and cattle. They lived in a simple, two-room house that had no running water, electricity or central heat. The outside world came to them through a battery-powered radio and a wind-up phonograph. Though the Hunters didn’t have much in the way of material goods or the latest 20th century technology, they never went hungry, raising much of their own food. And, in a place where people had to walk most everywhere they wanted to go and where nobody had telephones, close personal ties to family and community enriched the Hunter family’s lives. Quilter Susana Hunter turned the “fabric” of everyday life into eye-catching quilts with an abstract, asymmetrical and often modern feel. Represented in the fabrics that make up Susana Hunter’s quilts are work clothes worn from the family’s toil in the fields, sacks from the cotton seed they planted each spring, scraps from the clothes Susana sewed for her family, and bulk sugar sacks from the food staples the Hunters bought at the local general store. Susana’s quilts warmed her family during chilly Alabama winters in the inadequately heated home. They added splashes of color to the unadorned living space—a cheerful kaleidoscope of vivid pattern and design against newspaper-covered walls. Susana very rarely bought new fabric for her quilts; she used what was at hand. Yet the lack of materials didn’t restrict this resourceful quilter’s creativity. Susana Hunter could cast her artistic eye over her pile of worn clothing, dress scraps, and left-over feed and fertilizer sacks—and envision her next quilt.

The quilts are pieced in a design-as-you-go improvisational style found among both blacks and whites in poorer, more isolated pockets of the rural South. Making an improvisational quilt top required a continual stream of creativity during the entire process, as the quilter made hundreds of design decisions on the fly, fashioning an attractive whole out of whatever materials—including fabric scraps, feed sacks, and worn clothing—were at hand. Overall visual impact mattered most. Size and shape was determined by the scraps available at the time. This type of creative recycling was more than a means of survival. For many rural quilters, it was also a matter of pride to be able to “make something pretty out of nothing.” Susana Hunter wanted all of her quilts to be different. Some designs have a warm, homey feel. Many resemble abstract art. Other quilts pulsate with the visual energy created by many small, irregular pieces of vividly-colored fabric sewn together. Still others incorporate flour or rice sacks, often reserved for quilt backing, as part of the design of the carefully pieced quilt top. \r\n\r\n","SourceMatF063":["Feed or flour sacks","Old clothes"],"ExhibitListF067a":"Quilting Genius II: The Improvisational Quilts of Susana Allen Hunter, 2008.

After one company repeatedly dismissed a customer's concerns, a global community of quilters produced this quilt to oppose this racial bias. To create the shirt designs, the women chose fabric that best represented their own skin tones.
\"Nude is Not a Color\" quilt. Quilt made solely of fabric and thread. Inspired by the experience of Bianca Springer. Designed and constructed by Hillary Goodwin in Auburn, California (machine-pieced, raw edge appliqué, and trapunto techniques). Paper-pieced pattern used in construction of the shirt/shirtdresses designed by Carolyn Friedlander. Shirt/shirtdress fabrics selected, and made by paper-piecing using the pattern purchased from Carolyn Friedlander, by over 25 quilters around the world (including the United States, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, and Australia) and then sent to Hillary Goodwin. Free-motion machine quilted (guided by hand, non-computerized) by Rachael Dorr in Bronxville, NY. Attached to the back of the quilt is a label with everyone's name on it. The designer/constructor of this quilt, Hillary Goodwin, created it in support of her friend, Bianca Springer. They were both fans of a company that produced couture garments as well as kits which they would buy to make their own similar hand-sewn dresses and skirts. In 2014, this company came out with a new collection of garments in the color \"nude.\" (Many other companies have also used this designation for clothing, undergarments, hosiery, or makeup as well.) The \"Nude\" fabric of their garment line was a pale beige color--and far different than what Bianca knew as \"nude.\" It was a color that reflected the skin tone of white women only. This designation made Bianca feel excluded and invisible to society as a woman of color. She contacted the company, thinking that the name was perhaps an oversight--reminding them that \"nude\" is a state of undress, not a color. That the shade they chose as \"nude' reflected only people of lighter skin tone--thus marginalizing people of color. After receiving several dismissive responses downplaying her concerns, Bianca asked to speak to the owner of the company. She received an email from the owner dismissing her concerns as overblown and irrelevant--making it clear that the company had no plans to change the name of the new collection of garments from \"Nude.\" Bianca had publicly supported this brand on her blog, so she felt a responsibility to share her experience with her readers--and received much support for her position from a broad range of women. Many decided to contact the company and use their voices to express their unwillingness to continue to support the company. Bianca continued to be involved in ongoing debates with people who did not understand her position, as well as conversations with those who did and looked to her to take the next steps--rally support, start a movement. Bianca felt a tremendous responsibility to engage and educate people, yet found it emotionally draining and overwhelming. Hillary Goodwin wanted to stand in solidarity with her friend, and with other people of color. Hillary approached Bianca with an idea--she wanted to make a statement in fabric, using not only her own voice, but enlisting the support of others. Bianca immediately supported the idea. Hillary made an online inquiry through Instagram, asking modern quilters around the world if they would be interested in making a shirtdress block in whatever color \"nude\" they felt best represented their skin tone, or that of people they loved. Hillary received blocks from over 25 women from around the United States, as well as around the world from places that included Brazil, Australia, the Netherlands, and Spain. The group included many women representing a range of skin color, each with a unique story to tell. Combining these shirtdress blocks with an image of Bianca posing in one of the dresses she had made from the original company in question, Hillary constructed a quilt showing a woman of color clothed in the gathered shades of \"nude.\" With the creation of this quilt, Bianca no longer felt alone--she knew she had an ally who was willing to use her voice, her privilege, and her community to stand in support. The quilt offered Bianca an emotional reprieve and a positive redirection of energy as work on the quilt progressed--a way for this community of women to make a statement and a difference. More people became aware of the company's bias and lent their voice to the issue, demanding change. In time, the company eventually did change the name of the collection of garments. According to Hillary Goodwin, she and Bianca hope that the quilt \"provides a strong testament to the power of women standing together and a recrimination of white privilege in the fashion industry and in the world as a whole.\"","QuiltTitleF009":"Nude Is Not A Color","AddNotesF132":"Hillary Goodwin MD is an Emergency Medicine Physician who processes the joys and challenges of her personal and work world through the art of modern quilt making.

Nude: (n(y)ood ) the state of being undressed (NOT a skin color). I was introduced to the hand sewn garment work of Bianca Springer via social media in 2013. We were both devotees of a company that produced couture garments as well as kits which we would buy to make our own similar hand sewn dresses and skirts. In 2014 this company came out with a new collection of garments in the color \"nude\". The designation which appeared pale pink and far different than what she knew as \"nude\" understandably made Bianca feel excluded and diminished as a woman of color. She contacted the owner of the company to express her concerns a couple of times and was repeatedly dismissed. Hearing of this encounter was an eye opener for me as a white woman. How would I feel if I had to explain to my daughter that her skin tone was not the \"standard\"? How many other ways does my white privilege benefit me without me acknowledging it? How could I help stand in solidarity with my friend? Together we decided to make a statement in fabric. We inquired online of modern quilters around the world who might be interested in making a shirt dress block in whatever color \"nude\" they felt best represented them or the ones they loved. The response was encouraging . We ended up receiving blocks from over 25 women from as near as Ann Arbor, Michigan to as far as Brazil, Australia, the Netherlands and Spain. Our group includes many women of color, each with a unique story to tell. Using these blocks combined and a picture of Bianca posing in one of the dresses she made from the original company in question, I constructed a quilt of a woman of color dressed in all of our shades of \"nude\". Rachael Dorr then transformed the piece with her free motion quilting. There is no paint on this piece. It is constructed solely of fabric and thread. We hope that it provides a strong testament to the power of women standing together and a recrimination of a white privileged stance in the fashion industry and world as a whole.
-----Hillary Goodwin 11/23/2020
Implicit bias is something that is unknown to the person who holds a particular prejudice or stereotype. In a country with a long-standing history of racial oppression, discrimination, institutionalized and systemic racism, implicit bias is a given. When I became passionate about making, I discovered a couture company with techniques and patterns that fit my aesthetic. I supported them financially with purchases and with reviews on social media. I encouraged others to make with me and connected them with this brand. I eagerly anticipated the release of the new collection. When I saw it, I was thoroughly disappointed. The exorbitantly priced collection featured a non-diverse group of models wearing beige fabrics classified as \"nude\". My \"nude\" skin is not beige and the use of the term made it clear they did not have me in mind. I understood the racial implications for myself and reality of implicit bias in the unexamined mind. I graciously assumed this was an oversight on the part of the company. I emailed them to discuss the misnomer and to express my concerns about what it communicated. I reminded them that \"nude\" is a state of undress not a color. To use it to describe the color that only fits the white majority, signals white supremacy and marginalizes people of color. I immediately felt this collection was not for me. After several dismissive responses downplaying my concern, I insisted I speak with someone with greater authority on the issue. I received an email from the owner of the company who was aware of my concern from the previous messages. She unceremoniously dismissed it as overblown and my perspective as irrelevant. The entitled, privileged reply saddened me greatly and revealed that it may not have been an unconscious decision after all. She made it clear they had no plans to make the change and if I felt that was unacceptable, I was free to patronize her business no longer. I was surprised, disgusted and enraged by the dismissive, minimizing, racist revelations. I had publicly supported this brand on my blog so I shared my experience with my readers. I wanted them to know why they would see no more from me about that brand. The support for my position was overwhelmingly wonderful. Some readers immediately identified with my perspective while others had never thought of it and had \"scales fall from their eyes\". Many readers shared my outrage, sadness and disappointment at the owners attempt to make me insignificant. They decided to contact the company and use their voices to express their feelings and their unwillingness to continue to support the company as well. It was an emotional process that weighed heavily on me for months as the issue was discussed. I had ongoing conversations with people who did not understand my perspective, wanted clarification of my position, or to debate me on the significance of my concern. I had conversations with people who completely understood and wanted to offer support, but were looking to me for next steps. I had people reaching out to me with companies and brands that were guilty of the same offense. They wanted me to do something, say something, rally support, and start a movement. I felt a tremendous responsibility to engage and educate people, but it was emotionally draining and overwhelming. When Hillary approached me with the concept for the quilt, I was immediately in favor of it. Her concept was brilliant and the inclusion of community members as contributors meant she was using her voice and enlisting other people to do the same. I felt a psychological shift; I knew I wasn't in this muck alone. With the conceptualization of the quilt, the issue went from commiseration and emotional processing of systemic and overt racism, to a broader statement of activism. The conversations were ongoing, but I no longer had to bear the full weight of it on my own. I had an ally who was willing to use her voice, her privilege, her community to metaphorically walk beside me. The work of this quilt offered an emotional reprieve and positive redirection of energy. More people became aware of the company and lent their voice to the issue demanding change. In time, I was told the company eventually did change the name. ---Bianca Springer","DateDataF006b":"2024-08-05","QuiltTopF054":"Dorr, Racheland","QuiltedByF055":"Dorr, Rachael","OthPeopleF056":"Harris, Phoebe Adair","LocMadeF057a":"Auburn","ProvStateF057d":"California (CA)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"2000-2025","DateFinishF023b":"2017","ReasonsF060":["Art or personal expression"],"PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"EthnicF101":"African American","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"93\"","OverallLengthF012b":"82\"","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"OverCondF015":"Excellent/like new","TypeInscripF019":["Multiple Names"],"ContInscripF020":"Nicole Neblett, Tamara King, Berene Campbell, Carmen Alonso, Anne Eriksson, Silena Cauteha, Sandra Johnson, Rachel Singh, Alexandra Ledgermaid, Robin King, Lynn Carson Harris, Bianca Springer|, Chawne Kimber, Agnes Ang, Krishna Patel, Sonia Sanchez, Maita Marias, Amy Vaughn Reddy, Jess Ziegler, Michele Spiro, Rebecca Green, Kirsty Cleverly, Krista Hannebury, Phoebe Adair Harris","MethodInscripF021":["Attached label","Ink"],"LocInscripF022":["on back"],"LayFormatF024":"Pictorial","ConstrucF038":["Machine Piecing"],"ConstrucF038b":["Machine Applique"],"UniqueF038h":"Raw edge appliqué, paper piecing and trapunto techniques.","DesignF052d":"Free-motion machine quilted (guided by hand,","CommSourceF064b":"Paper-pieced pattern used in construction of the shirt/shirtdresses designed by Carolyn Friedlander.","SourceOtherF006a":"Museum employee","OwnershipF082":"Public Museum, Library, or Institution","OwnerNameF082a":"The Henry Ford","OwnerCityF084":"Dearborn","OwnerCountyF085":"Wayne","OwnerStateF086":"Michigan (MI)","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"ReposFile":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-10551/2020.135.1-r.jpg"],"zoom":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-10551/2020.135.1-z.jpg"],"Detail 1":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-10551/2020.135.1-b.jpg"],"Detail 1 Caption":"back","Detail 2":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/12-8-10551/2020.135.1-lable.jpg"],"Detail 2 Caption":"label","AccessF080":"Restricted","verify":"yes","verifiedby":"Beth Donaldson","dateverified":"2024-08-13","dateverified_era":"CE","file medium":"image","file format":"jpeg","Contributing Institutions":"MATRIX: Center for Digital Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of History","Publisher":"Quilt Index","Resource Type":"Still Image","ImageConF075a":"Quilt","ImageTypeF076":"Color","photocredit079a1":"Photos courtesy of The Henry Ford.","HolderF080a":"The Henry Ford, all rights reserved.","Maker Associator":"62-185-5","Pattern":"NUDE IS NOT A COLOR","Maker":"[\"GOODWIN, HILLARY\", \"DORR, RACHELAND\"]","Date":"2000-2025","project_id":"12","form_id":"8","owner":"7","created_at":"2024-08-13 20:22:45","updated_at":"2024-08-14 04:03:44"},"sort":["NUDE IS NOT A COLOR"]},{"_index":"main_quilt_index_quilt_1_25_","_type":"_doc","_id":"Va1gWZEB8akQsUweiayw","_score":null,"_source":{"kid":"12-8-6081","InstProjNameF003a":"Michigan Quilt Project; The Henry Ford Collection","InstNameF003":["Michigan State University Museum"],"InstInvContrNumF004":"13.0062","InstInvContrNumF004a":"73.120.2","OwnerNameF010":"Ocean Waves Quilt","AddNotesF132":"Susan McCord (1829-1909) was an ordinary Indiana farmwife with an extraordinary genius for quilt making. McCord, like other thrifty housewives of the era, sewed her quilts from fabric she had on hand, mostly clothing scraps. Her everyday life was filled with household and farm chores; her “scraps” of leisure time were filled with masterful quilt making. \r\n\r\nSusan and her husband Green McCord farmed an eighty-acre farm in McCordsville, Indiana. Here Susan McCord kept house, brought up her children, sewed clothing for her family, knitted accessories, practiced homeopathic medicine, read her bible through each year, participated in sewing bees, gardened, took care of the cows and chickens--and found time to make at least thirteen extraordinary bed quilts. \r\n\r\nMcCord used traditional materials, techniques and patterns—but her considerable skill at manipulating fabric, color and design turned the traditional into something exceptional. McCord’s bed coverings stand as the extraordinary legacy of an otherwise little-known Indiana farmwife.\r\n","DateDataF006b":"2013","QuiltTopF054":"McCord, Susan Noakes","QuiltedByF055":"McCord, Susan Noakes","IfQownerF007b":["Purchased the quilt"],"LocMadeF057a":"McCordsville","ProvCountyF057b":"Hancock","ProvStateF057d":"Indiana (IN)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"DateQuiltF023":"1876-1900","DateFinishF023b":"ca.1880","OtherExDateF023d":"ca. 1880","PresUseF062":["Museum collection"],"GenderF098":["Female"],"CityF106a":"McCordsville","CountyF106":"Hancock","StateF107":"Indiana (IN)","CountryF108":["United States"],"MaidenF097b":"Noakes","BirthDateF099":"10-07-1829","BirthplaceCityF098a":"Butler","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Ohio","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","EnviroF104c":["Rural"],"DeathF100":"12-12-1909","RelAffF103":"Methodist","OccupationF104":"Farmwife","FatherNameF109":"Noakes, Amos","BplaceF109a":"Vermont","MotherNameF111":"Noakes, Mahala Weathers","BplaceF111a":"Indiana","MarriageF099b":"08-02-1849","SpouseF113":"McCord, Green","OccupationF115":"Farmer","NoChildF116":"7","NoFemF116a":"2","NoMaleF116b":"5","NumQuiltsF123":"5-20 quilts","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","OverallWidthF12a":"70 in","OverallLengthF012b":"76.5 in","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","ShapeCornersF013b":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Blue","Brown","Cream","Green","Pink"],"QuiltSpecColorF014a":["Cheddar Orange or Antimony or Chrome Orange","Double Pink","Madder Brown"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"OverCondF015":"Good/moderate use","TypeInscripF019":["Single Inscription"],"ContInscripF020":"Mrs. C.
