No quilts. I can only remember combing the wool from old quilts to have new quilts made by a group of sisters who kept the town warm in quilts.
I remember family members doing handwork -- embroidery and crochet. I began embroidery at 6 yrs old and crochet after I was married. Made ponchos for my girls and any other little girl who wanted one. Also made lots of shrinks. Remember those?
