Different stitching techniques that were used and different articles of clothing and their purpose for the entire family. An antique quilting frame will also be on display and we will demonstrate how it was used. Several late 19th century quilts will also be featured. Hand embellished tablecloths, hand towels, and other household items from “an era gone by” will be available including several unique Samplers that were used to teach young women to practice their stitching and to help with their schooling.
