OK, I'll get on board and come up with some sepia photos that match the meme!
Sharing with Sepia Saturday this week.
A dogtrot shows in this abandoned home, a design of many where there was an open hall between the two side portions (often with a fireplace in each side.)
Women in Madison County (right next to mine) 1936. The quilting frame would be worked on all sides by visiting "quilting bee" women, then raised up to the ceiling so the family could use the space the rest of the day.
Women were the seamstresses of the clothes, usually with a treadle Singer sewing machine once they were around. Before that, all men's, women's, boys and girls clothing in the countryside were hand sewn. Here the girls and women wear clothes made from flour sack materials in the 1930s.
Appalachian women either washing clothes or making soap. Certainly not the stewpot!
