"NMS made in the year 1928" is satin stitched in blue
embroidery on the center block. The embroidered designs include
animals, birds, fruit, baskets of fruit, and faces. Many of the
animals are farm animals.
The quilt was purchased by a Virginia dealer at an estate sale in
Bedford, Pennsylvania, at the home of Eunice Bitner. It was assumed
that she may have embroidered the quilt, except the inititals are
not hers.
