СтатистикаWheat Centennial quilt
Traditional Quilting
1974
168.0 x 169.0 cm
This quilt celebrates the arrival of Turkey Red hard winter wheat in Kansas in 1874. Depicted in the center block of this medallion quilt is the logo from the State Wheat Centennial Committee. Each block has word-based as well as visual symbolism, as do almost all of Mitchell’s quilts. The borders include recognizable quilt block patterns such as Farmer’s Fields, The Disk, and Farm Friendliness. The embroidery includes the wheat-ear stitch, a Jean Mitchell hallmark. Around the perimeter, Mitchell has stitched the name of the friend as well as a the names of her parents, whose memory the quilt honors.The names are stitched by hand in cursive writing with its hard-to-sew curves.
