Historically, societies of women gathering together for the purpose
of quiltmaking have been referred to as quiltings, frolicks, and
bees. This book brings together newspaper articles about their
needlework activities with quilts inscribed with hundreds of names
- known as signature quilts. Quilting communities encompassed
families, church groups, civic and social organizations, and varied
awareness groups. Using their quiltmaking skills, women comforted
both their families and those in need. They successfully raised
monies for their villages and towns, for veterans and orphaned
children, for worldwide organizations such as the Red Cross, and
benevolent causes close to home. This nearly 200-year tradition in
quiltmaking carries into the 21st Century. With needle and scroll,
quiltmakers continue to capture their special family events, hails
and farewells of friends and coworkers, and needful societal causes
in the medium of cloth.
