Back to getting caught up on the quilting stories. The quilts you showed from the book this video still look beautiful. Quilting by hand is such a lost art now days. Quilts are all quilted by machines. I think that’s why so many love the vintage quilts because of the skill, creativity and stories that are associated with them. They are amazing stories for sure!

Tipper, you have such a caring compassionate heart. I too wonder about the people and their lives. What rhey were thinking. I know they were tougher and stronger than I have been in my life. The book makes me think of my Mom and my mother-in-law, they could do anything! Sewing, gardening, wallpaper, fixing the toaster, working on building planes during WW2 (my mother-in-law) Working at fulltime paying jobs when the kids started school. I miss them both so much. Thanks for reading. Grammy from Texas

During the summer when I was 11yrs.old I remember having to spend everyday down the street at my grandmothers house cutting out the pieces of a Dutch doll quilt. I thought it was the ugliest quilt my grandmother had ever made. My older cousins had beautiful quilts that she had made them but mine was made with mixed matched material with ugly colors. Over the years I have grown to love that quilt because I can still see her own dresses that were used in making that quilt. I learned so much that summer but didn’t appreciate it until later in life and I’ll have to admit that the flannel backing has kept me warm on many cold nights.

Doing things out of necessity can mean a lot of different things for people. I know back in the day you’re speaking of it was to keep warm but like you said we are a spoiled people now. Anyway, I personally find needlework, crafting, baking, quilting is a way for me to have mental peace because our hearts get overwhelmed with things that are going on in our lives or whatever and just having something that will cause you to be still or concentrate or focus can really be calming. I find personally when I’m sewing I am in prayer when I am crocheting I am in prayer not so much when I’m baking but when I’m baking or cooking I’ll have music on, I will play Pap and Pauls CD and I will be able to worship the Lord and the cares melt away. For me to crochet or quilt etc. is necessity… it’s therapeutic. ❤🙏🏻🎶✝️

I remember riding to Cookeville ,Tn from Johnson City with my parents back in the 60’s before the interstate and going up through Ozone on that twisty winding road . All the homes that were along there hung out quilts that they made to get people to stop and buy them . They were so beautiful and you could buy them for next to nothing. By the 70’s they were called “Folk Art” and the prices shot up ,but the interstate had come along by then and no one went on that old highway so those poor folks didn’t reap the benefits of that. College art students made all the money doing them. Those women worked so hard to bring a few extra dollars to their families with all that work.

Tipper, I'm so very much enjoying you reading this book. I purchased a used copy through Amazon way back last year....after your reading of the Mr. Irwin's book about Alex Stewart. Now that was an incredibel story of a life well-lived. It's such a treat each Friday night when I'm home from my church discipleship program to sit down and follow along with you in my book while you read. Keep up the wonderful things you and Matt do to keep Appalachian ways alive. I've listened to all your books, been following you for just over two years now. You're surely a blessing from God, may His goodness abound to you! Lovings hugs, Karen PS The previous owner of this book stamped it with their address from California, KY

My grandmother made pillowcases, embroidered them and made 4" to 8" wide lace to finish the openings. Three weeks before she died, I saw her in the hospital , sitting doubled over with pain but struggling to finish the piece of lace required for her last one. She said she wasn't going to obey the Lord calling her home without finishing that pair for the poor young couple at her church who had lost everything they owned in a house fire. She never asked for or accepted payment for anything she made as the pleasure of the making was payment enough. She believed "some small skill in stitching" was God's gift to her and she felt she had no desire to be paid for the enjoyment it gave her in what little free time she had. If Granny sat down, she was either eating, at her rug making frame, knitting or making pillowcases. I was 9 when she died, 61 years later, I still don't have her ability or her industry, but I do have her thimbles, scissors, knitting needles and pattern collection. I don't think the world will ever again see the generosity, early learned skills and work ethic those mid to late 19th century generations had.

My husband's grandmother was a quilter and like Clemmiw, she never bought any material for her quiltin. She also was homebound due to losing her right due to poor circulation of a heart condition. People from her church and around her community would donate their used clothing to her and she would cut out her squares from that to make her quilts for every family member. I feel fortunate that my husband has two of her quilts. Hmmmm, not sure how that happened!😂

I can’t help but ponder that the quilts gave each of these people something to look forward to, above the hum drum of life. Most of our lives are just the every day activities we have to do and I know when I’m plotting and planning a quilt it is fun and joyful. Perhaps that kept them going and living so long. Especially if you think about the joy they seemed to get when they gave them to people. It would have been a wonderful experience to visit with any of them. Have a great weekend. TeresaSue

Starting small with a lap or baby quilt is great. It's not so overwhelming. It could just be small amounts of different colored cotton fabrics for the front and 1 yard or so of fabric for the back. A nine-patch pattern is good, especially if you're going to sew by hand and haven't done that before. It took me a little while to get used to holding a thimble and needle and to make the stitches. Sewing the shapes together (where my stitches didn't show) helped! There are older quilt books on e-bay or in your library that will show more handwork with patterns, photos, and instructions. Wishing you the best of luck!

@@sandysmith8567 Thank you so much. I already do some sewing and mending so I have quite a few scraps of material. I think a baby quilt is a good idea because I would like to try hand quilting.

I think I realize that the quilts made of necessity are every bit as worthy of our love as those made in refined patterns/designs. At least 35 years ago my grandmother asked me if I wanted some old quilts she had stored away in a closet. They were large and heavy, the kind that would keep a person warm. But they were just scraps pieced together, they were stained, and some were tattered and dirty. I don't think she made them. I declined to take them then, but I am a different person now.
