Thanks Nancy! I occasionally search for this book on eBay and while it has come up a couple of times I could never afford it. Amazing amount of information and since it was published in 1915 when she says a quilt was made 75 years ago she is talking about 1840. Can't wait to have time to read it. -
Oh, wow!!! What a find! I'm fascinated by quilting history, and this is just the ticket. Thanks, so much for sharing.Comment
