| Martha Washington |
For those who don't know,
Martha Washington was the first First Lady as she was married to George Washington. She was know for her quiltmaking; guests to Mount Vernon would find their bed covered with a dozen quilts, each one needing to be admired and folded before there was room to sleep in the bed.
