Egg Money Quilts by Eleanor Burns. Before 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. $25.15 |

The Magic Vine Quilt by Eleanor Burns.

In the group, they shared stories, and decided on what colors to use for their flowers. Twenty-two flowers are appliquéd in rows with twinning vines.
