As a fundraiser for The Quilters Hall of Fame July 2009 induction ceremonies of Merikay Waldvogel, Kim Wulfert from Women On Quilts is sponsoring an invitation to women to write a creative story about growing up as a female, between 1902 and 1942 in the US.
In 750-1000 words, your story will have as the central theme a female, any age or ethnicity, living alone or in a family that is just making enough money to just get by each month, or less, BUT she doesn’t see it this way. She is surrounded by neighbors and a circle of friends who are also living the same way, poor. This is pre-television time and radios and electricity were not available everywhere. Word of mouth was the news in neighborhoods over much of our country then.
