Abstract:

In addition to statues and stone monuments, hand-made quilts can commemorate specific events and people, or serve as memorials to honor the dead. North Carolina women have made quilts throughout history to memorialize particular individuals or events, including the 1976 \"Historical Landmarks of Wake County\" quilt, which was created to celebrate the National Bicentennial.
