I often thought about the original quilt maker as the quilt was made in 1848. You are so right no freezer paper and not even a pattern. Just amazing! Thank you for sharing the close ups of the hand quilting it just makes these quilts so special!Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-218579638255110772015-09-16T20:29:47.664-04:002015-09-16T20:29:47.664-04:00I like to imagine what it was like to receive this...I like to imagine what it was like to receive this quilt. I think she was a quilter herself. This quilt probably travelled west under difficult conditions. The owner must have valued it highly. It didn't cover a bed in a sunny location. No fading. It was carefully laundered and stored. No fraying on the binding. No stains from bloody noses or other liquids spilled on it. The white areas are still white, not yellowed. That's pretty amazing in itself. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-954934430201924832015-09-16T08:51:27.897-04:002015-09-16T08:51:27.897-04:00Love to win this.

With Ken Burns "The Civil War" series on TV this week it all stands out together as to what life was like so long ago. Love the eloquent language of that period instead of the shortcuts that area taken today. People made time for one another. Quilting links people together too.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693013076508171402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-36467070802007198052015-09-12T13:27:10.668-04:002015-09-12T13:27:10.668-04:00No one knows more about antique quilts then Mary K...No one knows more about antique quilts then Mary Koval.

I googled the phrases you were able to read on the one block and found this from a book called Trinity Church Grave Yard:<br /><br /> Parted friends again may meet<br /> From the toils of nature free;<br /> Crowned with mercy, oh how sweet<br /> Will eternal friendship be.<br /> <br />It appears to have been on the tombstone of JOseph Williams,died August 17, 1846, aged 37 years. He was born in Kingswinford, Staffordshire, England.<br /><br />Just thought you'd find this info interesting. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing the beautiful quilt.<br /><br />Loretta McGinn<br />tlkids65ll@aol.comLoretta M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02464004015116333403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-90825208069132667552015-09-12T11:35:44.053-04:002015-09-12T11:35:44.053-04:00We have so many tech connections but seeing this m... We have so many tech connections but seeing this marks the value of a written connection. Thank you to anonymous for the words to finish the poem. Does anyone know why there are so many warnings against using "old" thread when it seems the thread used in old quilts stood the test of time? Was their thread different or has it anything to do with the laundering? A big Thank You Bonnie for sharing your connections with all of us.CA Bobbie https://www.blogger.com/profile/02865755310382918254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48131263245402360162015-09-12T09:23:14.369-04:002015-09-12T09:23:14.369-04:00What a beauty .

Not only did it carry the friendships along with the traveler, but the making of the quilt strengthened the friendship of those who jointly made the quilt and who stayed behind. I'm interested in knowing more about the journey of the quilt. It was made in Pennsylvania and has returned to Mary in Pennsylvania, but where was it in the 100+ years in between? If you or Mary has any more information about the quilt's journey, please post it.
