Antonia’s Czech Tulip Quilt
Presented by Antonette Willa Skupa Turner
The granddaughter of immigrant Annie Pavelka, featured in Willa Cather’s My Antonia, describes the quilt her grandmother made using brightly printed feed sacks and dressmaking cuttings. Turner tells the story behind the quilt and what it illustrates about her grandmother and about immigrant life in Nebraska in the early 20th century.
