Explore Amish Quilts at SAAM

Did you know SAAM has the largest collection of Amish quilts of any art museum? Discover this beautiful and vibrant collection with Janneken Smucker, professor of history, as she guides you through the tradition and artistry of the Amish quiltmaking practice. Smucker explores how the quilts, which were pieced together with precise skill by women artists for everyday use in the home, became celebrated art objects in the mid-twentieth century. The collection is featured in SAAM’s exhibition “Pattern and Paradox: The Quilts of Amish Women,” which celebrates a major gift of Amish quilts to the museum by Faith and Stephen Brown. In this video, hear from the Browns as they discuss their collecting journey, which spans more than 50 years and 130 objects.
