Double Rose Double Irish Chain quilt by Ida Pierson-Elam (1890-1976). Ida lived on a farm in northwest Missouri and was divorced in 1922.

Ida was an independent, self-made woman, working as a quilter; driving the school wagon pulled by horses; as a telephone operator; executive housekeeper and cafeteria worker at a nursing home for 20 years.

This is a photo of Ida in 1912 with her son, Gifford Pierson Elam. Tragically, Gifford died at age 27 on his wife's 21st birthday, when their son, Bill, was only 3 years old. These quilts were bought from Bill Elam, who took care of Ida in his home the last few years of her life. He said the quilts had to have been made in 1935 or before since Ida's eyesight didn't allow her to continue quilting after that. A copy of Ida's photo will be included with purchase.
