One
American
Dream
Comes True
In the March 2008 issue (400),
we present the story of Hungarian
immigrant Mary
Gasperik (1888-1969) and her
association with the Tuley
Park Quilting Club from
Chicago, Illinois. Mary's
involvement with the club led
to a long and prolific hobby
as a quiltmaker. One of her
early quilts was Star Arcturus,
shown here, a Nancy Cabot
pattern from the Chicago Tribune.
On the lining is embroidered,
"STAR ARCTURUS A
CENTURY OF PROGRESS
1934 M. G." - a reference to the
Chicago World's Fair and her
initials.
