The Good Ole' Days....

What a coincidence! I have one of those. That is what Mama used all the time. It hung from the ceiling in her large living room. I haven't gotten it put up at my house yet, as I have to have the ceiling fan switched to another room first. After Daddy passed away she quilted sometimes day and night to have money to buy things with. She also had some longer wood strips or whatever you call them, to quilt king size quilts on.

My grandmother had on one of these when I was small. The other children that were there with their mothers and I would sneak under the middle and sit VERY quietly. We really learned a lot that we were too young to know. I don't think it ever occurred to the quilters what little ears heard.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of history. It's so fun to see how it used to be done & compare it to the new modern ways. One thing in common, is that it all gets the job done!! Thank you so much for sharing.
