Oh my gracious! so so sad. Such memories her family could have held on to. But, I understand it takes money to remodel old homes. Her little cluttered home, garden, and the walk to the mailbox, was home to her and I betcha she was happy there. She was a sweet lady!

Thank you for sharing that wonderful video. I remember my great-great aunts house had a quilting frame hung up at the ceiling. I never saw her quilting on it as she died when I was pretty young. Such patience it took to do things the way they were done then.

did anyone notice that she never used pins except to attach the quilt to the frame?

What a treasure! That was indeed a treat to watch - puts my rotary-cut, machine-quilted pieces to shame - she was certainly an artist using fabric as her canvas.
Thanks for sharing this.

That is how I learned. When I returned to quiliting in the 2000's it was amazing how those gagets helped with accuracy. You don't need them all but a few of them do make quiliting easier. Quilting should always be fun. When it becomes work and not a joy then, why are we doing it? If a plastic template and a few gagets make it fun, go for it.

Can you imagine quiliting with scraps of discarded or worn out clothing? You only had a scissors, needle and thread and were perhaps riding in a wagon or sitting by a fire to complete a blanket to keep your family warm. We are privledged and should be thankful for our blessings. None-the-less we honor the craft, the creativity and the skills of quilters from around the world and across time with our efforts.
