The stamps feature details from the quilt powers completed in 1898.  Each stamp shows a different scene from the Bible or folklore.

Only two of her quilts are known to survive: the Pictorial Quilt, completed in the late 1800s, and the Bible Quilt, which draws directly from biblical stories.  In the Pictorial Quilt, Powers stitched panels that record historical and biblical events as well as moral lessons.  The Bible Quilt focuses on sacred narratives, illustrating creation, Adam and Eve, and other stories with clarity and symbolic detail.
Powers’ work is remarkable for its combination of artistic skill and narrative power.  She used appliqué and bold designs to convey complex events and ideas in a simple, readable form.  Her inscriptions often provide context or commentary, bridging oral tradition, scripture, and everyday observation. Through her quilts, Powers preserved both the events she witnessed and the lessons she valued.
