Quilted Memories of Schuylkill-B742

There is a picture on the back cover of the book showing Mary Leiby wearing a black bonnet that belonged to her mother.  Now, at the age of 85, she remembers when the bonnets were replaced by cooler stray hats during the 1930's, even though some of the older ladies continued to wear the traditional bonnet well into the 1950's.  An interview with Mary Leiby on page 57 tells more about the tradition of the bonnet and her involvement with the art of quilting and needlework. The book contains many pages of beautiful quilts and descriptions.
