"Lady of the Lake Signature Quilt" was made in 1848 for Emma Tilden Hawes who was about to leave Vermont for the west. Friends and family members who made the blocks added their handwritten notes of remembrance and well wishes. The Hawes family ended up settling in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin

Mosaic, circa 1830. Unknown maker, from a Massachusetts estate. Entirely hand made and quilted in the ditch. Portions of the quilt illustrate some English quiltmaking techniques and may signify that the quilt was brought over from England.
