EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricately designed applique quilt, created by Verna Tallman in 1937, is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of American quilting. The quilt showcases a stunning floral pattern that exudes warmth and beauty. Each carefully cut fabric piece has been meticulously sewn onto the quilt's surface, resulting in a visually striking display of color and texture. Known as the "Friendship Quilt" this piece holds deep significance within its name. It was common during this time for friends and family members to contribute individual squares to create a collaborative masterpiece like this one. As such, it represents not only Tallman's artistic talent but also the bonds of friendship that were cherished during the era. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this quilt stands as an important artifact within America's decorative arts heritage. Its presence serves as a reminder of the skillful craftsmanship that was valued during the 1930s and 1940s. Tallman's use of watercolor colored pencil, pen, ink, and graphite on paper brings out every intricate detail with precision. The multi-colored palette adds depth to each flower petal and leaf motif, creating an overall sense of joyfulness. As we admire this remarkable creation today, we are transported back in time to an era when functional items like quilts were elevated into works of art through dedication and creativity. Verna Tallman's Applique Quilt truly captures both the spirit of friendship and America's rich
