Trunk Show

At our Quilt Guild this past Thurs. we had a very interesting speaker--Judy Gunter or maybe its Gunther. She is a very talented quilter and judges at shows and other places. Judy collects old Doll Quilts and her presentation was about the Presidents Ladies and some of their quilts. I don't think very many actually quilted them but did certainally collect them. She gave us a bit of history on them and their influence on their Husbands and the country when he served. I was particularly surprised at the wonderful condition the quilts were in. There was a small doll quilt made of cigar wraps or ties. They were similar to our selveges. The pictures I will post will be from the mid 1800's till the mid 1900's. I am sorry I did not write down all the info, but I did get some pictures
