(This quilt was made by my g-g-g-grandma! I got this picture and information from a website (I did NOT write the caption or take the picture): http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~patty0802/bistodeau.htm

Emelina Bistodeau (Dr. Louis' wife) with the help of five other women, made a red, white and blue star quilt during the Civil War, which is on display in the Minnesota Historical Society Museum. It is a white background with red and blue triangles made into a star pattern; alternating blocks of all white, hand-quilted with the white thread showing a leaf pattern; quilt edged in red trim. It was passed down to her son, Alcedas Bistodeau, then to his daughter, Cecilia Bistodeau Beaudry, then to her daughter, the donor, Odell Beaudry.
