Philena's Friendship Quilt
A Quaker Farewell To Ohio
BY LYNDA SALTER CHENOWETH
Brief Description:
Fabric archeologist Chenoweth discovers the story behind a Quaker signature quilt made in Ohio, in 1853 to reveal not only the identity of the quilt recipient and details of her life and community but also the hidden design element created by the deliberate placement of names on the quilt's surface. The final chapter tells of the life of Philena Evaline Cooper born in Clearfield County, Pa, in 1822, until her death in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1915.
