A patchwork quilt, by Lj'dia F. Thnrston, age seventy-five, 

 Sandwich in squares of one inch and a quarter, was a work of 

 art. It is one of those things to last for generations. 



Mrs. A. A. White, Hanson, and Mrs N. Stevens' quilts had 

 the nicest quilting around each square. That work looked like 

 the work in our grandmother's days. 



Emily A. Ewell's quilt, with 2704 pieces, was pretty and well 

 made. 



The notes say, the quilt, by Mrs. W. M. Tolman, Green 

 Harbor, with 3892 pieces, was " a beautiful one." 



A crazy quilt, in calico, was a novelty, saving a great amount 

 of tiresome cutting. It was made by Mrs. Josiah Warren, 

 age seventy-five, Hanson ; very nicely made. Two logcabin 

 quilts, by Mrs Josephine C. Thompson, with braids of calico, 

 were unusually pretty. 



Mrs. William Taylor, age seventy-two, Marshfield, had a nice 

 quilt, and beautifully made. 



The nice warm stockings were well knit. One pair of double 

 mittens were particularly nice work. 



The other mittens were as well done as formerly. The silk 

 quilts were nicer than ever ; there was so much embroidery on 

 the squares. 



Two from Plymouth, by Mrs. K. E. Randall. One with a 

 border of blue velvet ; the other, red silk border. Each were 

 lined with silk, quilted on a machine. We think hand quilting 

 more ornamental. 



Miss May Howland of Brockton, sent a silk quilt, with fifty- 

 six squares, beautifully embroidered, and quite a number of 

 painted designs in some small squares. It was excellently made, 

 and elicited very many pleasant remarks. 



Miss Lydia Chandler, Marshfield, also had a very handsome 

 silk quilt. 



Two knit spreads, one in stripes, the other in shell pattern, 

 were very evenly knit.
