Kitty in the corner quilt in reds, oranges, and blues.
Very opulent crazy quilt of silk, velvet and satin, in the center a large burgundy-colored square with a bouquet of silk embroidered flowers framed by four fans of fabric and embroidery, most of the patches are heavily embroidered, some are painted, a wide satin border embroidered with a strawberry vine, with a faded ribbon with "Grand Commandery State of Iowa" and dated 1883.
Futura vase consisting of nine stacked convex bands—resembling tires—graduating in size and finished with a wide flared rim. Dark brown glaze at base; emerald green glaze around rim; each band is emerald green at bottom, fading to pale whitish green at top.
