Thank you for sharing this inspiring collection of quilts

Thank you for sharing all these beautiful and interesting quilts. I loved learning the history behind each quilt! ❤

Perfect showing… enjoyed learning about the history.

That gold and red, embroidered letter quilt is particularly wonderful.

😮❤ l love it, more of this it nice seeing the quilts on the bed...

whip stitching = hand surging ... lol .... What an amazing group of quilts.. Thoroughly enjoyed the journey.. Thank You !

Lovely machine. I have the Babylock Flair which seems to do the same as this Brother. Live both Brother and Babylock. My Babylick did not come with 6x10, but 8 bought a Dime magnetic hoop. Mine is embroidery only which suited me since I have a Bernina for that and quilting.

Gosh, that was a real treat to watch, thanks for saving so many spectacular works of art!

Please, when making a video, please ZOOM IN, so we can see the quilts up close! Beautiful quilts.

YES! that would be awesome because these are total works of art. Mind boggling to me because they're such high quality pieces. My grandmothers and great grandmothers were incredible quilt makers and seamstresses.

I really enjoyed your tutorial on the bed tourney... Thank you for sharing

Lovely presentation! Some real treasures there!

The woollen quilt (fourth) is a very old design from the Isle of Man (a little island between the UK and Ireland). It is the Roof Pattern. Each of the pieces of fabric are sewn on to a foundation square, right side to right side, and then folded back, leaving an overlap. It is this overlapping of the fabric, and the air pockets created that ensure the quilt is warm. A tutorial can be found at www.womenfolk.com/quilt_pattern_history/logcabin.htm

My family is from the Isle of Man - thank you!

Lovely! Should these ladies be wearing gloves?

Beautiful quilts!

Just wonderful! Thank you so much!

Thankyou so much for sharing!

You gave pattern names of most quilts, but not the LAST one in the video: the white Heritage group quilt with multi-colored design & scalloped edges that gets passed around. Oh, the closer I look at it, it looks like a modified or Extended 9-Patch with each block using a different scrap fabric. I normally don't like scrap quilts, but this is very pretty!

There is a book called “vintage quilts” that listed values on some of these gems compiled by Bobbie Aug, Sharon Newman & Gerald Roy published by Schroeder in 2002

JoAnne Denison there is a book that listed some of these vintage quilts I mentioned below. I recently bought one from eBay.

On the smelling of smoke in the quilt ( or any other scent ) COuldn’t you leave the quilt damp then freeze it for a couple of days. Let it thaw the gently hang it out to dry in the morning ? Or even in the winter ? This has worked for stains in my table clothes......usually

How does one “machine-piece” a grandmother’s flower garden?

After 3 years you've probably figured all this out already - so more for the benefit of other readers... It's tedious and hardly worth the bother for small hexies. I've tried it on 1/2" hexies and it was so twiddly I decided I may as well hand piece. For bigger ones though (over 1" hexies) you do it the same as for hand piecing but backstitch at the beginning and ending of each side, stitching "dot to dot". You don't stitch into the seam allowances - you skip over them and go back later and cut the threads that were "carried over" the seam lines. That then allows you to press the seams to the side and "spin" them at the intersections. The assembly order can vary depending on what you're making. You might prefer to plan the whole design in advance and stitch strings and then stitch strings together. Or you might prefer to just keep making "flower" units that you join together somewhere down the track when you have enough of them. There are bound to be youtube vids of people piecing hexies by machine. :-)

Always,always label your quilts.This lady mentions each maker,which is great.-so many are anonymous,which is a terrible shame.
