Emma Andres Thirteenth Quilt 48 States Redwork

48 States Redwork Quilt
1935-1938




Emma purchased the patterns from the Home Arts Needlecraft Company.
Emma hand embroidered all the blocks, which took about a year.
Note the broken needle saved in the scrapbook.  This is my favorite quilt, I have a real
passion for redwork. I have a set of the exact 48 blocks.  The set of blocks, by the Rainbow Quilt Block Co could be purchased in 1933 for $1.59.My set was completed with colored thread. Someday hope to complete my interpretation of this quilt.

      No pattern available. The company is no longer in business. Original was printed on fabric squares sold in sets.
