April 22, 1926. "A Curious Quilt".-- Mrs. S.N. Burson has a quilt that stands apart from the average bed covering of its kind and one which is valued highly. The quilt is composed of small diamond-shaped pieces and contains more than five thousand of them. The quilt is one which Mrs. Burson made herself and is the result of iterminable labor. Dr. Gunsaulus, who lectured on the chautauqua here in 1915 or 1916, made Mrs. Burson an offer of $100 for the quilt. She has received several other tempting offers but has so far refused all of them. This sort of needlework is rapidly passing, most of the work now being down by machine. Infinite patience and perseverance must have been necessary to complete the work.
