When I purchased stamps at the post office today, I noticed some with pictures of quilts in the display on the counter. Of course, those were the ones I bought.

When I see quilts made with the “Schoolhouse” pattern in its many variations, I think of my years attending school in a one-room schoolhouse or my mother’s career teaching in one. In the book, Twentieth Century Quilts, 1900-1950 by Thomas K. Woodard and Blanche Greenstein, I viewed two of these “Schoolhouse” quilts, both in green […]
