Log Cabin, Inscribed: May 15th 1881Maker: Catherine Bush Gwin After raising 10 children on a 200-acre farm in Washington County, Iowa, Catherine pieced this cotton Log Cabin quilt. The family moved to central Iowa in 1885, and Catherine continued to make a variety of quilts before she died in Keota in 1914. Catherine's daughter brought these quilts to the Northwest and eventually two were donated to the Museum. |
