I'll save that in the Log Cabin files. Thanks for typing it out.<br /><br />In the Kansas project We didn't lack for quilts made in Missouri which had been a state since 1821. Most of the mid-19th century quilts we saw were made in Missouri, followed by Illinois.<br />Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-66836670869659743162016-04-07T11:23:49.441-05:002016-04-07T11:23:49.441-05:00I'm sorry I can't attend your talk!

I have a letter from my great-grandfather's cousin, Eli Hause, dated 27 December 1868 postmarked Lee's Summit that adds a tiny bit of data to your regional quilting history. Eli moved from Indiana right after the Civil War, first to Illinois where he worked in construction. In August, 1867, Eli met and married Myra Jan Marciller, called "Jennie," in Fairbury, Illinois where she was living with her family. After a letter postmarked in Illinois on 29 November, 1868, Eli and Jennie moved to Missouri. In this Dec 68 letter, Eli writes "Jennie wants to know of Aunt Dor if she had any Christmas. all that She got was a new dress, and then she staid at home all day and worked on her log cabin she made eleven blocks last week, and I did not come out as well as she did." Although he continued to write letters almost every month, Eli never mentioned Jennie's projects again.Cheryl K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16895151046682701754noreply@blogger.com
