Wednesday, May 18, Sarah Maples DAR member Jacque Vaughn spoke to the members at the First Presbyterian Church luncheon. Her topic was American Heritage and part of that heritage is her Civil War quilt and how quilts played an important part of that heritage. Quilts play a special part in our heritage because they tell a story. Jacque choose her quilt blocks from a book written by Barbara Brackman titled “Civil War Sampler.” Ms. Brackman did extensive research regarding each block’s history and included a short narrative of each. Jacque choose 14 blocks from the book for her quilt. The quilt is a cot quilt similar to one any mother, sister or wife of a soldier may have made to take to war with him. Jacque’s friend Sharon helped by pointing out the blocks as she spoke about them. Pictured are Regent Susan Cothran, Jacque Vaughn, Sharon Riland and Carole Ruska. (Courtesy photo)
