Weaving and quilting were cottage industries that flourished here. Quilting continued into the recent past as a necessity and today is more an art form than a need for comfort.
Most families have or have had treasured textile heirlooms and keepsakes such as quilts, embroidery work, clothing and more. The Adair Genealogy & History Research Center has collected some items in this category and enjoy the comments by those who view them here.
Learn more about early and recent textiles at our next meeting of the Adair County Genealogical Society. This will be an informal meeting with discussion and show-and-tell on August 7th at 5pm CT, at the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center. Sponsored by the Adair County Genealogical Society and the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center of the Adair County Public Library.
