Ella Hadley (1916-2008) and Edna Hadley (1914-2004) served as missionaries to the Yakima Indians, as part of the McKinley Indian Mission near Toppenish, Washington. They designed and painted the following "quilt", to help describe the people among whom they lived and worked. The quilt was probably created in the 1950s. | |
