This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Born Hope, Kansas in 1886 and died in 1963, Rose Kertsinger was an
artist, quilter, designer and writer. She was a graduate of the
Art Institute of Chicago in 1908.
She studied in Europe for a year, and then returned to Chicago and
designed jewelry. After marrying, she moved to Emporia with her
husband.
In 1926, she made her first quilt, initially finding the handwork a
consoling form of therapy after her mother’s death. Along with
Carrie A. Hall of Leavenworth, she wrote the book, Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America. | Source:
