Subject of Square:
Founders Park
Quilter’s Name:
Karen Raynes
Background on subject:
This is a park by the Meeting House Green that honors
Hampton's founding families and the daughter towns from 1638. The boulder in
the center of the park is dedicated to the Reverend Stephen Bachiler and his
followers, who settled Hampton, then called Winnacunnet.
Why you chose this subject:
I chose
Founders Park because not many know
the history of the place yet many pass by
it each day.
Thoughts on your representation/design/color choices/etc.:
I set the park in the sky giving it a kind of
out of this world feel, a special place.
What you hope this quilt will mean for the people who see it:
I hope that
people will look further into the history of the park. Each button on the square
represents a founding family and in the corners are buttons for Hampton’s daughter
towns.
