Well, you really made my day!

[@QuiltDistrict]

Yay! That makes me happy!

[@sharonzotoff3975]

The amount of time consuming hand stitching is mind blowing!

[@judyfargo8162]

Fascinating!!! Thank you! I'm surprised y'all aren't wearing gloves. I guess I've been to too many quilt shows.

[@QuiltDistrict]

Recently, many museum staff have determined that wearing gloves can do more harm than good on antique textiles. Clean hands instead of gloved hands are becoming more and more acceptable. But, note, we weren't really touching most of these.

Does conservation repair damage and prevent further deterioration? What is involved in the process?

"Get your grubby hands off of it ! " lol........
