Egg Money Quilts Book
the 1940's, most eggs were produced on rural farms with small flocks that
scratched their way around the barnyard. The farmer's wife was usually
responsible for caring for her chickens and the money received from the sale of
the eggs was hers. Surely, some fabric was purchased with this precious fund and
from that came the quilt patterns uniquely associated with the Depression years
of the 1930's. During a time of hardship in America, there were still many
things for which to be thankful. Life was simple, people neighborly, and quilts
not only useful but also an extraordinary expression of imagination. Journey
back to the times when milk was 14 cents a quart and bread 9 cents a loaf.
With over a year in planning, testing and writing, Quilt in a Day is delighted
to announce Egg Money Quilts-A 1930's Vintage Sampler. Egg Money Quilts is not
only a collection of twelve vintage quilt block patterns with two layouts, but
also a treasury of extra projects created from the blocks. Join Eleanor as she
