Patchwork quilt
Lewis, Miss Mary
(quilter)
Patchwork quilt made by Mari Lewis, the village quilter of Llangeitho, 1950s. Born in 1867, her account book shows she was a prolific maker. Most of her customers came from Llangeitho and Tregaron, but some lived in London. Her most popular commissions were cotton sateen quilts. Mari suffered from poor eyesight in old age. She made this quilt a few years before she died in 1956.
