Deeply touched my heart! I am 79 and have been hand-sewing since about 6. Embroidery to tell stories at age 10 when Daddy bought for me an embroidery tea towek kit. I made endless pillow cases sheets and table cloths. Even my dresses in High School. Being from Salt Lake City, I grew up with The Mormon Quilting Guild. My passion for quilts started in 1970. Today I am quilting along with great joy & enthusiasm. This video is profound. Thank you all.

Thank you so much for this video! Please, please make more videos like this! I am 63 years old. Ive only been a quilter for 3 years, but I love it. I finish my quilts by hand, and it's true that all the love I am feeling and many other emotions go into my quilts. It is a very fulfilling hobby.

Giving a quilt you put all your time and love into to someone you care about or someone in need really is the best part of making a quilt. I really feel that receiving a gift someone put that much care into is such a true form of love! They are my favorite gifts to give and receive! It's equally a little piece of the giver and the receiver.
@quiltgram30563 жыл бұрын
So nicely said! When I make and give a quilt to family and or friends, I’m actually giving a piece of my heart and soul to each one. It’s healing and neutering to both the giver and receiver. I agree with the quilter who said, “It’s what God made me to do” or something close to this. I’m a now retired registered nurse who began quilting 30+ years ago. I can clearly see the connection between these two careers, although my career as a ‘quilt giver’ hasn’t been that of a professional career; I have come to regard it as my most important career. The greatest majority of my quilts were started as a specific quilt for a specific person without that persons knowledge. And I agree, quilts have magical healing powers.

A most interesting documentary. I've never even learnt to sew, let alone quilt - but have always been interested in quilts. I have a few vintage quilts, bought from flea markets and charity shops, that I use at home as bed covers - nothing precious but lovely nevertheless. Own several books on them too. Something about quilts just calls to me. I love them.

I am rather moved. The film shows very well how quilts have played an important role in the story of the USA, serving as powerful means of expression, yet practical items. The are rich with stories, reflecting the lives of those who made them. Also, it's incredible to see how this tradition continues today, with contemporary artists bringing their perspectives. These quilts are not just pieces of art; they are important reminders of history and heritage. The film does a wonderful job.

I think the most interesting thing about our life is not what we may have suffered in the process. And I don't want to think of it as nothing but sadness. Just having to live life, to have endure and in a way conquer it. That's how I think of it. Alot of suffering and someone paid the prize do we could have a better, such a more wonderful life with God at our side. I feel I have to be proud of what others did for us, good or bad. For God for certain that he will take something bad and turn it around for Good. And it's up to us to keep it that way. Our ancestors went through so much. I know for myself I don't have to go out and hunt for my food. Work for it yes. After the freeze we had last year , it made me appreciate more for those who came before us and open the way for a better life for me. I love, just love quilts, and I love America and it's people no matter what.

However, my actual quilting skills need work. But that is where the passion comes in! I’m in my 60’s and still love to learn and grow.

My grandmother grew up in a well to do german american family and went to private schools. They smacked her hands too when she made mistakes. It's a generational thing. My grandmother never smacked my hands when I screwed up sewing. She just told me how she'd been smacked back when she was a child.
