Quilter Una Welborn

Sponsors Una & Harold Wellborn

Mrs. Una Welborn, the original quilter, has made several Underground Railroad Quilts since joining the Upcountry Quilters Guild in 1992. She especially loves to hand quilt and use traditional designs.

The historic Hagood-Mauldin House is managed by The Pickens County Historical Society. The Carpenter’s Wheel was a pattern used in the Underground Railroad to guide slaves to freedom. It also represents the fine carpentry that went into the building of the house in 1850 in Old Pickens on the banks of the Keowee River. When the town of Pickens was moved as part of the separation of Pickens and Oconee Counties, the building was dismantled, moved, and reconstructed 14 miles to the east.
