Lot also includes newspaper articles on the quilter, Marie Fox of Milford/Mulberry, Ohio. They describe her inspirations for the quilts and many of the awards her quilts won over the years. Most of these are from the 1970's, with a few from the 1980's. A few of the local signatures have been embroidered. In one of the articles Mrs. Fox notes that some of the signatures she was receiving were too small to embroider, so they had to be left as is. The down-side is that none of the quilts can be washed or the autographs will disappear.
