This article from Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting discusses two separate stories related to quilting. The first story is set in May 1923 and follows a young girl who discovers a sock belonging to Al Capone and keeps it a secret. The second story is set in June 2023 and focuses on a tour group visiting Rankin's General Store in Gasper's Cove, Nova Scotia, where they learn about the quilting heritage of the area. The article emphasizes the significance of quilting in the Maritimes and the sense of community it fosters. Additionally, the text explores the historical importance of quilting during wartime, particularly during World War II, when women made comfort quilts using fabric from their children's clothing to send love and support to their loved ones fighting in the war. The article also mentions the value of these quilts to collectors and introduces a character interested in appraising and selling one of the quilts. However, it is revealed at the end of the text that the quilts have been stolen. [Extracted from the article] |
