A variety of quilts dating from between 1850 and 1940 make up the “Quilt Family Album” exhi bition. Also included in this special display are photographs of North and South Annville Townships, Lebanon County taken from glass plate negatives, a treadle sewing machine, a quilting frame, and quilting templates and patterns. The quilts in the exhibit were chosen from a collection of more than 30 heirloom bedcoverings belonging to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Kenneth Rohland of Cleona, Lebanon County. They were made by women from the Wengert, Bomberger, Steinmetz, Ulrich, Kettering and Light fami lies of Lebanon County and passed down from generation to generation by members of Mrs. Arlene Bomberger Rohland’s family. Quilts and their stories were traditionally passed from mother to daughter or daughter-in-law. Each quilt had its own story of a mother, aunt, or grandmother who had made it, and in this way, the who are selected to participate in the Governor’s Schools.

Additionally, the Bell Atlantic Corporation awards merit scholar ships to Governor’s School alum ni whose leadership activities ben efit their home schools and com munities. Piecing Together History women’s history was preserved, However, even through the quilts have all endured, some of the stories have been lost. The tra dition of transferring the histories orally was broken when two young mothers’ untimely deaths prevented them from passing the family stories to their infant daughters. What has been learned about the collection was gleaned from family Bibles and papers, pub lished genealogical studies, U.S. Census schedules, oral interviews, old photographs, and the quilts themselves, some of which have embroidered initials and dates. The women who produced these quilts were all farm wives and mothers. They were responsi ble not only for much productive labor in the household, dairy and garden, but also for the physical, emotional and spiritually nurtur ing of their children. Many women also contributed to the family’s income through the making and selling of butter. Income from but ter-making was probably used to purchase the factory-produced textiles used in many of the quilts, as well as other commodities needed by the family throughout Only ads submitted on this official form will tar published in our Please NO PHONE CALLS • Please PRINT LEGIBLY (Attach Your Mailing Label Here) 5.

Farm women developed and managed this cottage industry. They were responsible for every stage of production, from milking the cows and churning the butter to driving the wagons to market and selling their product. Because butter-making provid ed a stable income, it took time away from the production of hand sewn textile products. Families depended more on store-bought commodities as their buttermak ing capabilities increased. With the advent of the sewing machine, however, production time for homemade textiles was reduced.
