Notes
Blocks were embroidered (and pieced?) in the 1950s by the women of the Methodist church. They would raffle the blocks off for money but the church terminated the raffles because they said it was a form of gambling. In 1992, the Chimney Sweep Questers received money to "complete" the quilt and display it upstairs in the depot museum.
