Thank you!!! I have so enjoyed listening to you read while I paint. I paint barn quilts that my husband and I sell and ship all over the country. It is fascinating to hear the stories of such humble women who had so little but did so much. 💕 Little is much when God is in it.💕

Thank you for sharing your love of Appalachia! Tennessee and North Carolina are my two favorite places to visit. Love the mountains and driving way back off the main roads and so enjoy the richness of how close knit people are there. Really enjoy hearing about the stories shared through the generations. God bless you, your family and new, baby Ira!! ❤️

Tipper, great read, reminds me how hard my grandparents had it. They were all born 1899-1891. Both my grandfather's grew up without a father. One of my grandfather's dad left when he was a young boy leaving him and his mom to survive the best they could. They worked as day laborers on farms.
@laddieokelley6095

Your grandfather's story is one I hear more often than I expect. I wonder if the "dad" just left or if there is more to the story. "Expertise" in divorce existed in my mother's family--my great grandparents, my grandparents, my mother and father. I never was under the impression that anyone was just a sorry person. But . . . a father who just "walks out" is in my mind a sorry person.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading these stories. My momma (adopted) was born in 1899 and grew up on the farm. Then she and I went back to live on the farm after my daddy left us. I loved living on the farm but momma not so much. Momma always read me stories a lot of the time. I guess that's why I love listening to you. Thanks again and may God richly bless you ❤😊

Chinquapin Eyes: This one opened up my memory of 1963 when I started working at the N&W RWY Roundhouse in Roanoke. My youngest brother Mike had just been born, and I was working the hoot owl and had trouble sleeping in the day time. My Grandma Craig who lived nearby, opened her spare bedroom so I could get some sleep. That was her quilting room so I slept in and around the quilting frames, bundles of cloth, scissors etc. She love quilting! Also my boys and I attended the Worlds Fair in Knoxville.

I am a quilter. I love to hand quilt. Not many people do that these days. I was surprised to hear of someone finishing the quilting in one day! My fingers hurt just thinking of it. Now that is dedication. Takes me months and sometimes years to hand quilt a piece, of course I don't sit and do it all day either. I do love it, though, and I understand the enthusiasm of these quilters.
@apiecemaker1163

I hand quilt also. It takes me months also. These they finished in a day were just tied not hand quilted. These were utility quilts and wonderful to keep warm. I’ve tied a few myself for the experience and you can get one done in a day. I’m glad to know some of us are keeping up the tradition of hand work. Happy quilting.

My family & church called tack quilts knotted haps. Most done at the church were donated to churches old folk home. We called them lap haps since they were small & the residents covered their laps while sitting in chairs to read, embroider, play games & so on.

Oh Tipper tonight’s reading about Opal has made my heart happy. I knew her when I was a little girl. Her and Morton Hatmaker (husband) lived around the road from my family. Everybody went to Fraterville church together..Opal was a hoot and everyone loved her. Opal was on one of Bill Landry’s series quilting at the Appalachian craft center close to the museum! Thanks for the memories of the 80’s.

I was at that Worlds Fair in 1982. I had only been married for two years. I don’t remember seeing any quilts. Not that I would have been very interested in them. Later I would move to Lancaster Pa. Where the Amish make the most beautiful quilts. I would learn to sew quilts and older Amish women taught me to quilt using a thimble.

Hard working folks for sure. Children respecting and loving their Parents even when it was harder times. Working together for the good of the family and others. Quilts are so special. My first quilt was gifted to me by my Mother in-law. I still have the beautiful old Iron bed that was handed down to us on my wedding day. It looks like a bed on The Walton's episodes. I wouldn't take a Gold Guinea for it 😊 as my Father in-law used to say. Thank you once again Tipper for sharing such heartwarming quilting stories. Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕

You really can't imagine how bad times could be but how strong their will to carry on. We had poverty like that in the U.K. which was brought to light during the victorian times and illustrated by the books by Charles Dickens and of the social reformers like Elizabeth Gaskell and many more. In some ways we still have the poverty with people living on the streets and people who have a job but have to rely on food banks! This shouldn't happen in this day and age! Anyway this quilting book has piqued my interest and I think I might have a go at an English piecing quilt, which is sewn by hand. I have accumulated lots of odd bits of fabrics that take up space and I can buy the paper pieces on line which makes life easier so I might give it a go. I expect I will drive my son mad when I have to shout him to thread my needle. I hope we have a lot more of this book to go. Thank you Tipper for sharing.
