Re: A reintroduction of a quilt history enthusiast

I think the forum structure has been reorganized since then. I found the discussions from back then but they are under "Quiltmaking" now. I'm still trying to figure out things. Are groups just organized around a topic?

A reintroduction of a quilt history enthusiast

I got really swamped with other projects for a while but I'm back and ready to write about and answer questions about quilt history so check out my blog at Quilt History From Judy Anne . I'd love to hear if any of you are interested in the history of quilting. If there are enough of us perhaps we could get a Quilt History Group set up.

From Quilt History to Curiosity About Everyday Life in History

I've been studying quilt history for several years and have found it's not only a way to learn about the quilts that were made but also what everyday life was like for women. So a while back I decided to start a blog on everyday life in history. I thought those of you who love the history of quilting might enjoy some of my posts. The fact that

Re: Antique quilt

I just want to say that both Antique quilts shown in this thread are wonderful. A sewn on label about the history of a family quilt is best as it won't get lost and future generations are more likely to value it if they know where it came from. If you want to give it to a museum be sure you know how it will be cared for, if it will be displayed

Re: Help dating a vintage applique quilt top?

That lady is me. I'm afraid I've neglected this forum. We were RVing all summer and early fall and life has been a zoo since we got back. On finding blogs, I can't even find my own blog. I need to learn more about how this forum is set up. I'm sure the information is somewhere obvious. Leigh, I will tell you what I can on your kit quilt

Re: Cleaning Old Quilts...

Here is a page of links to sites that may be able to help you. Directory to cleaning, storing and care, Sometimes it's hard to know what to do.

Re: Quilters (the play)

I'm not sure how the book was translated into the play as the book involves so many different interviews. So it will be interesting to see what parts of the book they used as the book doesn't really tell a story, it's just a number of oral histories.

I have an update on Harriet Powers

I mentioned a while ago on my blog and in another thread about Harriet Powers a woman born into slavery who is known for her two pictorial story quilts. I finally was able to read Kyra Hicks' book on her research and she uncovered some amazing information about Harriet Powers. To think everyone assumed Harriet was illiterate all these years and
