You might enjoy this story about the seamstresses of Manzanar. I knew a lot about Japanese internment camps and even saw George Takei's play, Allegiance. Still I found some interesting insights here.

I still receive emails about upcoming auctions although I don't buy anything anymore. It's fun to look at the photos but there was a lot of 19th century fabric scraps that really caught my eye. There are strips of fabric and it appears that many of them have sewn on name labels.
I wondered if this was meant for a signature quilt or scraps just donated for a purpose like fund-raising. You can study the lot here. What do you think?

I love this WPA Poster! Seems appropriate for us quilters!
Have a safe and happy day!
