Did you know our 30th President Quilted?

Calvin Coolidge was just a boy, I think maybe 10 or younger. The boys back then had to learn because it helped them with the horses equipment.

Mr. Coolidge's Mother had tuberculosis and so as a young boy, he would sit

with his Mother and they would quilt.

They made one Quilt together and it now hangs in a museum.

As added information:

For the 4th of July celebration in 2005, Fiber Arts in Vermont organized a raffle to benefit the Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site for the care and preservation of its textile collection. Details about the event and Coolidge's quilt can be found at:
