Burlington Extension Homemakers Associate Club met recently with seven members attending. Margaret Mabbitt was hostess.

Susie Neher was guest speaker. She told about quilts that were stared in 3400 B.C. in Egypt. She said quilts were made as a diary of each person. Batting was put in quilt in 1846. Until 1936, colors were only gray, blue or black. For a time, quilting went out of favor and then in the 1970s it became popular again. Do not put quilts in direct light, do not store them in plastic, do not have them in direct contact with wood or cedar. To store a quilt, wrap it in a sheet.
