Red Sox Quilt Raffle

On display in the shop: A unique work of quilt art and sports memorabilia created for the museum. The Red Sox raffle quilt contains a center panel signed by 24 members of the 2009 Red Sox--23 players from the 2009 Red Sox team, including Tim Wakefield, Jason Varitek, Jonathan Papelbon, Dustin Pedroia, J.D. Drew, and Josh Beckett, as well as President and CEO Larry Lucchino.

The panel was generously donated by the Red Sox Foundation in response to a request by the museum. The autographed fabric was then made into a quilt by nationally-renowned quilt artist Rosemary Bawn, who is known nationwide for her pictorial Red Sox works.

Featuring a panorama of Fenway Park, the piece was hand-quilted by the artist. Measuring 54” by 40”, the work took a total of 175 hours to complete. It incorporates fabrics that are reproductions from a quilt made around 1910, discovered by guest curator Laura Fisher, with early twentieth century baseball players depicted in the fabric, exhibited at the museum in Master Pieces: Haberdashery Textiles in Antique Quilts. Winning ticket to be drawn on October 3, 2010.

The story of the Red Sox quilt was featured on NESN's Red Sox Report. To see the video of the program, click here:
