I don't know of any quilters in my direct lineage but, when I was very small, a family friend whom we called Aunt Mary, would bring her quilting circle to our house. We had a large basement where the ladies could arrange a frame of chair backs over which they would stretch a quilt. Then they would work together to do the final tufting. Aunt Mary would have been born before the turn of the 19th century. It makes me wonder where she learned her quilting skills and if the ladies of Slinger Wisconsin have carried on the tradition.

He wrote for his pleasure and was published in a number of local newspapers. To support his family though, he was a farmer and lay preacher. It also was exciting to trace my quilting heritage back to his mom. On my husband's side of the family, we have quilt tops made by his grandmother.
