1850's Hand Sewn Quilt Square of Sarah Guy, ME This is a beautiful
old hand signed quilt square, handmade of early fabrics. 18 different
squares were found in Portland Maine, Cumberland County all with different
women's family names handwritten on them. They are all on our ancestor
site. This one has the signature Sarah H. Guy handwritten in center,
in old early dip pen handwriting from the period. Most likely there
was a quilting bee and each member made their own squares. Some of
the family members are related by same surnames, others may also be
related family members also. For whatever reason, the handmade quilt
was never finished. This square is hand sewn with the utmost care.
Found in Portland, Maine area, which is in Cumberland County. Ancestral
migration made the mailing and movement of ephemera common between
separated family members, although we do strongly feel these quilt
squares to be Portland, Maine related, as they came directly out of
a house in that vicinity. See the 18 quilt squares found on our site
at item numbers #2551 Rogers, #2346 Kenyon, #2799 Guy, #1301 Rogers,
