St. John’s Hall Museum invites community to historic quilting bee featuring vintage flour sacks

ST. JOHN – Hall Museum in St. John will host a unique quilting bee event that celebrates a remarkable piece of American history: the creative use of printed flour sacks during times of hardship. These durable cotton sacks, once used to store grains, became vital materials for making clothing and quilts during the Great Depression and World War II, symbolizing resilience and ingenuity.
