Great article! As someone inspired so much by the history of American quilts it led me to begin quilting too. I find it so relaxing and enjoyable. Your items are all so wonderful, thank you! xxx

Thank you for this wonderful article. My mother is a quilter, and we have many heirlooms that I hope will be passed down for many generations to come. It is such a beautiful artform to share.

Thank you for such a nice article. I started quilting in the early 80's when my MIL introduced me to it. Since then I have made many many Quilts, fancy and simple, my 4 daughters each have "many" and my husband has his "many" favorites as well. I have given many as gifts and now, retired from truck driving, I am making them for whomever wants to buy them. The response is overwhelming...it seems that many material things disappear and are replace through the ages but Quilts have stood the test of time and keep on meaning something.

What a great article. As a quilter, I am sitting here trying to put into words what quilting means to me...and really there are too many reasons to list! I think the underlying truth about quilts is- a quilt makes you feel good. It may be the color or the pattern that reminds you of a special quilt- or a combination of colors that bring you back to place in your life where you feel safe and comfy. Really the bottom line is: a quilt means someone loves you.

If anyone is passing through Southwestern Virginia, the Historic Crab Orchard Museum currently has a beautiful quilt exhibit. Some are from the 1800's and most are from the early 1900's.

Thank you for a wonderful article. Quilting means so much - it means life itself! Always a story to be told of humanity, lives, loves, the ups and downs but always a story, a way of expression like no other.

Wonderful article! I had the privilege of sitting in on several quilting bees here in Tennessee. We worked from quilting frames that were suspended from the ceiling. The frames were as beautiful as the quilts that were attached to them.

Thanks for the great article. I second LagunaLane's comment--a quilt is love made tactile. The time and energy one spends on quilting transforms the material from "blanket" to "protective shield of warmth and comfort". As quilts get passed down the generations, you become physically connected to a space/object of comfort that your mother, grandmother, great-grandmother created. It's a very powerful thing.

Some of my earliest memories are of visiting my grandmother who had a different handmade quilt on each bed in her home (and there were several, she had a large family)! She had created them all from her family's cast-off clothing. When I was older, she gifted my parents with a lovely quilt, which I have now. It is my prized possession, and brings back memories of the grandmother I loved so much and the wonderful times visiting her farm.

Awesome! I'm working on an interactive story quilt for my MFA thesis. I'm planning on embedding technology into the quilt that will help the quilt to function similarly to a pop-up book. Post a comment on my blog to let me know what you think or if you have some advice. http://dwillig.wordpress.com/

My Mom, Georgina Fries makes beautiful quilts, many with 1930s vintage fabric. So her quilts look old-fashioned, but they are actually newly created. The 1930s fabric is getting harder and harder to find. So if you're willing to sell some, just let me know. She belongs to an Antique Quilt Study Group and loves their shared discoveries. She's almost 70, went white water rafting on the Gauley River class 5 rapids. The river guide told her she was the oldest rafter all season, "most gals YOUR age are home quilting."
