THE FAMILY'S HEIRLOOM CHRISTENING GOWN
With such a wonderful and rich tradition for generations, it's so unfortunate that most of the <i> "Generation X" </i> has this <i> "could care less" </i> attitude when inheriting the family's christening gown. I mention this because with my experience on recent house calls, the gown and bonnet is not wanted by the family members, so up for sale it goes! Now, I do know for a fact that there are some people that do keep this tradition going.

SO WHAT WAS THE "CRAZE" ABOUT CRAZY QUILTS?
The 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition was a big event in Victorian society. One of the most popular exhibits was the Japanese Pavilion with its fascinating crazed ceramics and asymmetrical art. Women were eager to incorporate this new look into their quilts and with the help of popular women's magazines the making of Crazy Quilts became quite the rage. This enthusiasm over Crazy quilts continued until about 1910.
