Thanks so much for sharing these photos. These are just too cool! Their quilts are just lovely. It seems no matter the time, quilters can always seem to make do and turn out a beauty. My parents survived the Great Depression and told my brother and me some very sad stories of their lives. I can just imagine what these quilters would think about and do with the tools and gadgets we have and use daily with our quilting.
We are so blessed to be able to drive to a store and purchase fabric and never think about it other than the price or color we want or need and the same with food, and never wonder where the next meal would come from. I pray that none of us or the future generations ever have to endure what our parent and grandparents endured during that Depression.

Great pictures. i love the fact so many ladies were wearing aprons back then. I still use one to catch all those loose threads.

I forgot to say that I can remember a quilting frame hanging from the ceiling in my Mam Maw's home. But just can not ever remember seeing her quilt. I have 3 quilt tops made up of some feed sacks & some cotton. No theme in mind-just sewn together to be used. Don't know if she or an aunt made them. I do have her tredle machine head & steel base. Using the base for base of a cutting table..

This is an interesting site. Thank you. It sort of makes me ashamed of all the things I think I "need" to make a quilt and my complaints when my back hurts or when I "need" more room. I am very fortunate to have my own separate sewing room with lots of toys. It certainly puts things in perspective.
