The Save All Quilt
[ca. 1880]
[ca. 1880]
"Made by Mary Louisa Snoddy. Called 'The Save All,' for no waste in material. The two borders were of her dresses Mother had but tore up to make quilt."
The statement "Made by Mary Louisa Snoddy" does more than just identify the maker. Mary Kate abbreviated information elsewhere, but here she wrote out her mother's maiden name, revealing that Mary made this quilt before her marriage in 1889 and suggesting Mary's pride in her identity and family connections.
