"Anna Cooke’s husband would have been at home in a Turkish Corner wearing his cigar silks jacket. Anna constructed it for him out of hundreds of silk premiums, which routinely came with tobacco products of the era. Women often collected these silk fabrics for quiltmaking and other sewing projects."

The inscriptions on the two center blocks of the Hargest album quilt reveal its purpose. It is dedicated to Hannah and James Hargest, who died in 1838 and 1843. In addition to the individuals listed on each block, tiny cross-stitched numbers follow each name, noting the birth order of the Hargest children and grandchildren, as well as additional family members, including parents, siblings, nieces and nephews.
