#261 Crazy Quilt

Quilter Unknown

Sponsors Judy Goosen & Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail

Judy Goosen purchased this crazy quilt years ago from Sandy Henderson, a friend with an excellent “eye,” in Atlanta, Georgia. According to quilt historian Laurel Horton, “While this quilt of unknown origin is most likely from late 19th or early 20th century, it includes, in addition to a variety of embroidery stitches and symbolic silhouettes, velour flowers, painted transfers, silk, velvet and taffeta fabrics.” Sandy Henderson, a friend from whom Judy bought the quilt, says, “I bought it in a coal mining town in Madisonville, Kentucky from my friend Gigi Kesterson. Her business, Kesterson’s Antiques.”

Judy’s historic crazy quilt is the second block to grace the Hagood-Mauldin site. See also #140 Carpenter’s Wheel on the Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail.
