Provenance |
This quilt was made by Mrs. Anna Christiansen and given to Dora Kathrine Nelsen as a gift. According to the donors, the quilt has never been used. Mrs. Anna Christiansen was the wife of Danish immigrant Pastor Axel Christiansen, and Dora Kathrine Nelsen was donor Doris (Hansen) Robertson's mother. Pastor Axel Christiansen and the donor's father, Pastor Hans Peter Kristian Hansen both graduated from Dana College and Seminary in Blair, Nebraska. The museum's collection contains two photographs of Axel and Anna Christiansen (1987.085.001 and 1987.085.002), as well as Anna's wedding dress (1987.085.013a, b, and c). |
