Aunt Betsy
-
This textile is based on a diamond patterned tablecloth owned by the Keim family who lived in an isolated part of the Oley Valley, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Their home built in 1753 with its clay tiled roof and large cooking hearth retained tradition just as its Pennsylvania Dutch inhabitants did. Betsy Keim, the last of five spinster sisters, was the final resident of the home when she died in 1911. Her estate included nearly 100 handwoven table linens and, if the legends are correct, her eccentric ghost still lingers there today.
