I read your article “Three Centuries of Decorative Pillow Making” (in The Quilter magazine) and really enjoyed it. I have read many of your articles and always enjoy them.
I am quilter and quilt collector and collect other hand made items. I wanted to share these pictures with you of a pillow I have in my collection. I don’t know how old it is, but I remember it being in our house before I started to school and I am 71 years old. It was made by my mother, Elizabeth Cox Wassum.
