More cheddar quilts from the special exhibit in PA.
Pat had reproduced several quilts and pattern sales were brisk! She was really sweet and generous.

Thank you for sharing! What amazes me is the care and time that went into these antique quilts. Women had far less time then than we do now. I remember learning in a visit to an old Sturbridge Village that it took a woman in the 1700s 17 to 18 hours to set up a loom when she had to make her husband a new shirt. Then she had to weave the cloth for who knows how many hours. Next she had to cut out the shirt. Then came the hand sewing. All this came along with all the necessary cooking, cleaning, gardening, washing, child rearing, and other chores of the day all required during daylight hours. Seeing a worn out shirt perhaps caused tears to flow! We are so blessed with our abundances now.
ReplyDeleteYES! This!
DeleteOh my goodness, yes I want to grab cheddar fabric and get going on my own quilt now. I just adore all of those beauties. The quality seems amazing and the condition fabulous for collectors. I would never be able to make a simple and gorgeous design like the Amish or Mennonite. They use restrained colors, work with precision and keep things elegant and sparse. I'm too out of control creatively to do that myself. I admire and envy those ladies but would probably do a more scrappy design. I got to go find some cheddar solid fabrics and get going!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all that cheddar in this post and the previous one. Thanks for being so generous in sharing. As I got to the end of this post, I realized that I had an old cheddar and purple double wedding ring quilt that my grandmother made over 70 years ago. Not part of the earlier quilters but she liked the bright colors.
