Makers mark |
Embroidered: "Ladies Aid / Knox Church / Gibraltar / 1919 " |
Provenance |
Made by the Ladies Aid of Knox Presbyterian Church of Gibraltar, Grey County, in 1919 as a fundraiser. John Fletcher Sr.'s representative told museum staff that he was the first owner, and purchased this quilt for $25.00. He likely obtained it in 1919. He farmed in the Gibraltar district until 1944, and then the item was passed down to his nieces and nephews. |
