I invested in a couple of late nineteenth century crazy quilt pieces to add to my collection. This one is embroidered with two names: Mrs. Peek and Julia.
Mary Flynn was embroidered on this second piece. Names on crazy quilts had many meanings; they could be signatures of the makers, family members, friends, or loved ones who had passed away.
The seller also included these four hand-sewn and embroidered pieces as a thank-you, which was a delightful surprise.
