Pioneer girls were taught to sew and quilt. Families made their own clothes and wasted nothing. Leftover pieces of fabric and worn-out clothing were saved and made into rugs, curtains and quilts. Ma taught Mary and Laura to make nine-patch quilt blocks when the girls were small. Nine-patch quilts were the easiest to sew and to make smooth. Later Ma taught Laura how to make a bear claw quilt. |
