This quilt is *out of this world.* (We had to.) Ellen Harding Baker of Cedar County, Iowa, make this solar system quilt in 1876. Baker used the quilt as a visual aid for lectures she gave on astronomy in Iowa towns.
According to the New York Times, the quilt took Baker seven years to make and “The lady went to Chicago to view the comet and sun spots through the telescope that she might be very accurate.” #BecauseOfHerStory #Quilt #QuiltsOfInstagram #IGQuilt #ConstellationQuilt #Space #SpaceHistory #Apollo11 #Apollo50 #Apollo11at50 #WomensHistory #AmericanHistory #Astronomy

horsetailstudio @amyjirout thanks! Right this moment I’m dreaming up ideas for an SF gallery nocturne show entry and I think I’ll do my secret kid bed time story but then it won’t be secret any more :)

mailboxmemories Sharing with my friends @marymillinery and @wilelouise who may find this as interesting and beautiful as I do.

thekitchentablequilter @astrokarenn you’ve probably seen this quilt in person, but just in case you haven’t, isn’t it remarkable?!

thekitchentablequilter @nancyslibrary this is beautiful all on its own, but the story behind it makes it even more impressive!

juju_morrow Is it possible to get closeups of the stitch work? Asking as an enthusiastic embroiderer! 😍
