Baltimore album quilts were often collaborative works created by assembling different quilt squares created by various quilters. The quilt pictured here, which belonged to Eliza M. Needles, bears the signatures of many different women and men who contributed. In this way, the album quilts tell a unique story and provide viewers with a window into the past. These signatures immortalize the craftsmanship and artistry of the Baltimore album quilters for generations to come. Learn more about the Baltimore album quilt tradition and how these quilts served as the building blocks for Dr. William Rush Dunton Jr.’s groundbreaking work in occupational therapy through the ongoing exhibition, “Wild and Untamed: Dunton’s Discovery of the Baltimore Album Quilts.” Museum admission is FREE tomorrow, August 14, for Second Saturday.
