I've been reading the Shorpy blog for a while and the pics are absolutely amazing! Thought I'd share some of the crafting pics:
August 17, 1937. Joseph's coat of many colors had nothing on this
unique quilt which is now being completed by Mrs. Ethel Sampson of
Evanston, Ill., after six years of collecting. Parts of wearing apparel
from President Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt, members of the Cabinet,
diplomats and notables from all over. From Hollywood, Bing Crosby sent
a tie while Mae West and Shirley Temple contributed parts of dresses.
Former Emperor Haile Selassie's neckties and a linen of Windsor are
also included on the quilt. Diapers from the Dionne Quintuplets are
also prominently displayed.
Washington, D.C., circa 1918. Soldiers at Walter Reed,displaying their handiwork.
And, although nothing to do with crafting:
February 13, 1922. Washington, D.C. Unidentified woman, demonstrating
an ingenious Prohibition-era fashion accessory, the cane-flask ;-)
