This sampling of bedcoverings from the Old Salem and Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) collections offers a look at thirty-nine American quilts, coverlets, and counterpanes, most made and used in the South. The introduction explores early documentation for bedcoverings and the women who made them, using evidence from newspapers, wills and inventories, and family histories. The richness and variety of these bedcoverings offer new insight into the lives, talents, and imaginations of American women in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Catalog of an exhibition held from Sept. 20, 1997 to Jan. 11, 1998 in the Frank L. Horton Museum Center at Old Salem, Winston-Salem, N.C.Collection
