Re: Digest Number 379quilts

[Guest guest]

I watched my mother make quilts, the Dresden plate pattern, during the

30's==all by hand and out of leftover materials, and then I have made

quilts too all by hand, from scrap material--took 3 months of quilting with

that giant stand in the middle of the living room--the kids loved to play

beneath it. And the local Methodist church would quilt by hand an entire

quilt for $100==what a bargain, and those old ladies really could quilt.

It was fun. Techniques are so different these days. At 01:30 AM 12/9/00
