I have quite a few photos of ancestors, collateral lines and some suspected friends and the pictures date from about the late 1840s on.

I’ve been thinking about quilting lately, another hobby but which has been pushed aside for genealogy and that got me on the idea of fashions through the centuries. How’d that happen – I guess the link to my thoughts was fabric!

Here are my female ancestors dressed to the 9s for their era. 🙂
