Quilts Tell A Rural Tale On Civic Club Tour
The Home Tour highlights quilts tied to area history with pieces from the Dobie House by Daisy and Emma Dobie and locally quilted works by Sarah Leinneweber around 1900. Eva Lee Murphy notes quilts passed through generations, crafted out of necessity for warmth and shared by women who sewed by kerosene light.
