An amazing hand-made vintage American Folk Art quilt that was made 30 years ago by Berta S. Newton.  It is quilted, painted, appliqued, and has lazy stitch beadwork!  The provenance of the quilt is documented on the quilt itself:

-WYOMING-

CHARLIE RUSSELL, FAMED WESTERN COWBOY ARTIST, RIDES A HORSE THAT HAS BUFFALO HAIR MANE AND TAIL.  LAZY STITCH BEADWORK SURROUNDS THE CENTRAL SCENE.  HANDPAINTED IMAGES DEPICT SCENES REMINISCENT OF WYOMING LIFE.  THE WOMAN WEARING A LONG PIONEER DRESS, HOLDING RIFLE, IS FROM A PICTURE OF THE ARTIST.  THE QUILT BLOCKS WHICH FRAME THE CENTRAL AREA ARE CALLED “LOG CABIN BLOCKS, SPIRALING DESIGN” AND ARE TO REPRESENT THE PIONEER SPIRIT OF THE WYOMING PEOPLE, THEN AND NOW.  QUILT COLORS IN THE BLOCKS WERE CHOSEN BECAUSE THEY ARE THE COLORS USED BY CHARLIE RUSSELL (ORANGE, PURPLE, BLUE).

MADE BY BERTA S. NEWTON, WYOMING NATIVE (CODY, WAPITI VALLEY).
