Love your photo.... Old photos can tell us so much about life back then, can't they? I must admit I like the creature comforts of today, too much.
Here's a quilting bee photo that I received from a dear friend. It is the Dorcas Society out of Hollis and Buxton Maine. The group was founded in 1897 by Kate Douglas Wiggins and they would gather in Kate's barn at Quillcote in Hollis. Kate is also the author of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. The group is still going strong today and in 2009 they published a "tastefully revealing" calendar as a fundraiser for the cancer society in honor of the group's cancer survivors. I think these ladies would be a hoot to know, don't you?
