By Club At Lillington
The fascinating story of the patch
work quilt, closely interwoven in
to the life of early America, made
the theme of an unusual program
glvpn on Friday night at the Lill
ington Tea and Topics Club.
Mrs. John Allen McLeod of Dunn
was the guest speaker as the chib
was entertained at the home of
Mrs. Alton G. Johnson. The pro
gram marked the first of three
during the year which the study
clufc will devote to arts and crafts.
Bright colored patchwork designs
and fine quilting stitches became,
under the speaker’s skillful hand:
ling, more than an account of the
growth of a necessary home craft,
but rather the story of the early
American woman and hep quest
for beauty to her surroundings.

In her disqjuplch of the patch-f

her mure* material a book, “Old
Quilts and Thqir Makers” l?y R »th
Finley. This authority points out
that while the use of patchwork
design was known and practiced to
Egypt, ancient Greece and medieval
Europe no where is it as typical
as in the U. 8. A. . ,
Economic need, the speaker ad
ded, prompted the first patchwork
quilts which were made in the
Colonies. They were of no certain
design and often called “craay
quilts.” During this period women
were economically- dominated by
