You will notice it is appliqued, quilted, and embroidered. The work was begun in early April and was finished in time for the Fourth of July Parade. It currently resides at the Bensenville Community Public Library. The Lincoln School was the first meeting place of the Homemakers. The White Pines Clubhouse was the meeting place at the time of the quiltmaking. The Homemakers also used to meet at the Bensenville Library. The needlework was done by the following women: My apologies if I spelled anyone's name incorrectly. I took the information straight out of the Bensenville Chronicle.
