Sampler by Dorothea Klein Lemley,
Sheboygan, Wisconsin, blocks 1861-1865,
possibly assembled later,
from my book Civil War Women.
Mary Rockhold Teter's quilt
from a pattern in Peterson's Magazine in 1861
---now in the Smithsonian collection
When I discovered the online bulletin board Pinterest I thought a board might be a good way to display these. Each picture is linked to the website where I found it.
