The Kousins started a new Block of the Month (BOM) at Hoover's on Monday, October 16, 2023--Egg Money Quilts: Vintage 1930's Samplers.
During the 1930s, 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 the chickens, and the money received from the sale of the eggs was hers. Surely some fabric was purchased with these precious funds, and along with chicken feed sacks came the quilts uniquely associated with the Depression.
It was so exciting to see the fabrics that everyone selected. We completed the Grandmothers Flower Garden and the Road to California blocks. Stay tune for more photos as the Egg Money BOM continues.
