I have a couple that parts were nearly gone by the time I got them and quite faded so I paid next to nothing for them. I have made Christmas stockings for family members and Christmas ornaments for quilting friends from the better parts so that the lovely stitching and colors of the quilts and the quilter's work has a whole new life. I have no idea who made the quilts but her works lives on over a hundred years later.Mickieraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980857751711764346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-91276222412885812602011-12-18T01:37:29.736-05:002011-12-18T01:37:29.736-05:00As much as I love to know the quilter's name, ...As much as I love to know the quilter's name, I think it OK to not know their name. Their work stands as a testemant to their artistry and humanity, and lets us spend more time thinking about who they were, looking for clues in the work itself. If every single quilt said "Jane Smith, 45 year old housewife from Boulder, CO" or some such on it, would we wonder and dream as much about her? Would we study and say- "older woman, very competent, using multi era fabric in an older style" or would we just say, "hmm, Jane Smith"<br />don't get me wrong, I love labels, but I really think it is just as interesting to have something to ponder and dream over.woolywomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798060848062776281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-9558770269524856562011-12-17T13:45:57.263-05:002011-12-17T13:45:57.263-05:00Oooooh - I love those dense fans!

I know I read this somewhere either in your blog or one of the postings of the red 5.5 strippy squares. Do you use spray starch on them to keep them from warping/ If you do, do you remove the paper first before using the starch? I know this must sound crazy..but I really would like to know!<br />Alice<br />amiddlem@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-67053182649953763382011-12-17T12:35:43.992-05:002011-12-17T12:35:43.992-05:00you have better antique malls than me!you have better antique malls than me!pat sloanhttp://blog.patsloan.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-3115775881024378452011-12-17T12:06:39.483-05:002011-12-17T12:06:39.483-05:00When I saw that wedding ring quilt it reminded me ...When I saw that wedding ring quilt it reminded me I have a piece of fabric with the wedding ring pattern printed on it.

It's a joy to see such beautiful creations from the past. They exude a special kind of warmth from the years of use that just can't be explained. And the basket from Thurs. post was a great find! You must have been the 'kid in the candy shop' on that trip. :-) I would love to come across finds like this...not sure anyone could pry me from the shop though. And thanks again, I really enjoyed seeing these.Kathy Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157496191293134964noreply@blogger.com
