Some quilts are simple or non-descript but others are much more interesting and full of information. This beautiful quilt is one of those with quite a story to tell.
Made for Esther McAlister, a Methodist Episcopalian Sunday School teacher in New York City in 1858.
It is filled with hearts and LOVE for Sister McAlister. Stay tuned for more...
