05-028; Mrs. Gordon
1940-1949
Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Chromogenic Print (C-Print) c. 1940
Photographer: Unknown
Size: 5" x 7"
Mrs. Gorden is seated in her sewing rocker on her front porch doing what she enjoys most - working on her patchwork. Sewing rockers lack side arms, thus making sewing so much easier to not be constantly bumping into those pesky side arms. They were very popular and were sometimes called a "ladies" or "Granny" rocker during Victorian times.
