I really, really appreciate you including this website. There are so many "truths" about quilting that are total fabrications but continue to be passed along as gospel. I try, in my own little way to dispell as many of these myths as possible when teaching beginners. Now if only people would stop believing this undergroung railroad quilt myth - - - a complete fabrication that is now taught as "truth", even in schools. (Sorry, this is on my list of soapbox issues.) I have absolutely no problem with quilt stories - like family stories, etc. though. I love history, just not the fables - and George Washington did not have wooden teeth.
Thanks for helping quilters learn quilt history, and thanks for letting me express my own opinions,
