STORY OF THE QUILT SQUARE BLUE DENIM PATCH BY THE ERWIN EXTENSION
HOMEMAKERS CLUB FOR THE HARNETT COUNTY HISTORICAL QUILT, 1989 Erwin Quilt Square Blue Denim Patch This
patch is symbolic of the Denim Capital of the World. The Erwin Mills
today produce one million linear yards of material per week. In the late
twenties and for two or three decades thereafter, the mill employed as
many as 2,300 people. With the development or modern technology and the
use of "robots" the work force today has been decreased to
approximately 1,200. Written
