Since the American Revolution, when men marched off to war women mobilized at home. They rationed money for relief, and they existed on limited resources. I can not read the remaining portion, but in other words.......women are awesome!
I zoomed in on this portion for a better read.
Isn't this a marvelous quilt?
Some of the blocks are autographed.
All of these quilts were thrilling to see and they caused me to be reflective an d extremely pleased that I am a woman and a quilter.
Label your quilts to record history. We all have a story to tell.
I hope you are enjoying the quilts as much as I did.......more tomorrow.

That first quilt looks very much like a 'potholder' quilt where each block is made, bound and quilted separately before hand stitched together. They are New England in origin apparently. I have an example and love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the photos of the quilts.
