Peacocks, owls, “swans a-swimming” this star quilt is a menagerie in silk, wool, satin, and embroidery. Lydia Pearl Finnell may have made this parlor throw for her trousseau. In this quilt, she shows off the fancy needlework techniques popular in the late 19th century.

Finnell was born on March 3, 1867, to William and Sarah Irvine Finnell in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. At the age of three, she was sent to live with her Aunt Lize and Uncle Boley. They taught her the social graces as well as housekeeping skills, cooking, animal husbandry, and some rudimentary doctoring skills.
At the age of 14 or 15, she attended Daughters College in Harrodsburg, where she received an excellent education for the time. This included plain and fancy needlework and the fine arts of canvas and china painting.

She married Bushrod Allin (1871-1942) of Harrodsburg on November 8, 1899.
