Men Who Quilt #12

 The "Men Who Quilt" series is beginning to wind down.  In a few more weeks we'll be starting a new series.

At the beginning of this series, I told you that I had found that there were a surprising amount of men who quilted in our valley.  We'll be finishing the series with some of these men.

Like many of the men we've studied, they have common themes.  Harvey Gross was disabled:

1889

Erwin Sterner was a tailor who took up quilting:

1906

So was Charles Landis:

1914

Many of the men competed at local fairs and competitions:

1950

An earlier Allentown Fair winner article included 2 males:

1902

I would have loved to see the quilt the boy made.  Maybe a redwork quilt?

We have a few men left to feature and I hope you are safe and doing well this snowy winter.

Have a great day!
