Old photographs of settlers with their Soddy home behind them shows the family outside, with her sewing machine and often a bird in a cage. It got lonely out in the Midwest on the plains. No trees, no neighbors in sight, no hills or mountains... so they sewed and listened to their bird sing.QuiltGranmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225951118220180796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-62033870133408384142019-07-11T19:41:08.793-05:002019-07-11T19:41:08.793-05:00I love this series on the quilting.

I am always as interested in the quilting as any other aspect of quiltmaking but don't often see it featured.Alice Cookseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796979608701324819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-16836893167368829342019-07-11T09:49:19.917-05:002019-07-11T09:49:19.917-05:00What about patience, especially if hand quilting? ...What about patience, especially if hand quilting? I've been working on hand quilting a quilt for ?? years now, I'm not quite half done. Although, I'm outlining the printed design on the fabric, with lots of twists and turns. My patience runs out before my time to work on it at night in front of the TV does. Maybe these filers go faster and would have been a better choice? I agree that applique looks much better when it's left out of the background fill.<br /><br />I'm going to guess that the first machine quilting probably was being done not long after sewing machines were available. Or at least it was being experimented with. And probably being pooh-poohed by the quilting police of the time. I wonder... if any of the early machine quilted quilts survived, was it presumed to have been quilted later than it was? Or was early machine quilting done on utility quilts and used up and discarded?JustGailhttp://justgail.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-14133532665991508632019-07-11T04:42:14.198-05:002019-07-11T04:42:14.198-05:00I appreciate this information as I enjoy both long...I appreciate this information as I enjoy both long arm quilting and making quilts. Our guild receives quilts from our members that they have made but don’t want and we get them finished to give away. Some are made in traditional styles and this will help me decide how to quilt them as welll as my own.
