    "Quilts that feature words as the predominant design motif emerged toward the middle of the 19th century. Made in 1848, the Pieties Quilt, a prime example in the Museum's collection and the earliest quilt in the exhibition, is one of a small group of quilts from upstate New York that employ letters based upon counted thread work. Each letter is pieced from seven small stacked blocks similar to stitched letters in alphabet samplers. Typically these quilts were fashioned in cottons of only two colors, in this case, red and white, and many relate religious sentiments and homilies. Maria Cadman Hubbard imparted the following advice in her Pieties Quilt: "If you can't be a golden pippin, don t turn crab apple." More than 150 years later, these words continue to inspire a smile because they were not spoken and quickly forgotten, but lovingly pieced into a quilt made in Hubbard s 79th year for a now unknown recipient." (Susan Flamm, American Folk Art Museum, http://www.historyofquilts.com/talking.html).
