"The quilt was a picture and a story. It was a testimony to a time when pressures did not cry out for urgent things to be constantly tended to, when the world had not created a thousand different temptations pulling free time into a myriad of mindless activities. It told of values and patience and timeless meanings. It drew a person in. It spoke of comfort and rest. It soothed with a gentleness of a mother's kiss."
From The Quilt by T. Davis Bunn
That's a nice quote. And, in those days, folks had more to do - I'm not sure how it was all managed!
