The Circuit Rider's Quilt
c. 1862
United States, Ohio, Miami
Ohio
A circuit rider was a traveling preacher who served a circuit of small communities located outside a central town. Like the Friendship Quilt, this quilt represents the collective effort of a community to express its appreciation for one of its members—here, the Reverend G. C. Warvel.
