ENJOY.

Thanks for the links Tammy. I just started poking into the references on keeping house..yikes! I'll go back and read more later. What fun!

Thanks Tam, that was interesting reading.... I have read a few books about women on the Oregon Trail and they certainly would not have had time to quilt... life was not easy for women back then.... they deserve a lot of credit for settling this country....
