As a historian, I would never discount folklore as a valuable source. It's usually the tantalizing clue that leads to a wealth of information.

Some say research indicates it's true while others don't think there's much proof, only folklore handed down by word-of-mouth. I'm pleased you found this of interest at Quilting and Patchwork. If any of your readers have opinions or insight into this, I'd enjoy having them leave a comment at Quilting and Patchwork.
