Ancient art of quilting is alive and
well in many modern homes
OLD QUILT, NEW QUILT — Mrs. Susan McAllister, RR 1, Centralia,
shows her son Timothy a quilt started by his great-great grandmother
and finished by his great-grandmother in 1918, while he holds a brand
new one made by his aunt, Mrs.Don Mitchell, the former Bonnie Doerr
of Exeter. The old one is called a Crazy quilt because of the system of
sewing pieces of material together without following any set pattern.
The new one is called County Rose. T-A photo.
that is as old as cloth itself.
The time spent in making a
quilt is phenominal and the cost
of a very ordinary one..has risen
astronomically. In spite of that,
though, ladies who quilt to raise
money for their church or other
organizations make very little.
When they count up their time
they figure they make only a few
cents per hour for their work.
Nevertheless, they love it and as
one lady said resently, "It would
be a pretty long winter, if we
didn't have a few quilts to do."
It's not just the needlework
they love, it's the comradeship,
the talk, the fun of being together
and the satisfaction of making
something beautiful which they
know may well become a family
heirloom some day.
A decade ago, our mothers and
grandmothers were decrying the
lost art of quilting. But not
anymore. Their granddaughters
are taking up the challenge to
keep this ancient and beautiful
craft alive.
More and more young women
are discovering the outlet of
quiltmaking as an artistic ex-
pression and a way of providing
decorative bedcoverings for their
homes.
Long before quilts were used
for bed covers, quilting, the
joining together of layers of
fabrics by running stitches, was
used for beauty, warmth and
protection. Its origins go back
6000 years in China and India
when it was used to make gar-
ments and tapestries.
Later, it was applied in the
making of armour, a heavily
padded garment, worn as a
protection against arrows, By the
15th century, quilted clothing was
common for warmth, and style as
well and around the same time,
quilted bed covers were coming
intoq.domestic use. From that
tirnanward the craft of makiag
quilts became firmly established.
The quilting frame became an
essential item of equipment in
most homes, and girls from a
very early age learned how to use
it Just as they learned how to
spin, weave and bake.
Quilting bees were an irn-

portant social event in the 19th
century. They were happy oc-
casions when women, who often
lived solitary lives in remote
areas, were able to get together
for some 'woman talk'.
Patchwork 'tops', the com-
pleted outer layers were pieced
together and put away for the day
a daughter got married, and
when friends and neighbors were
invited to a quilting bee, it was
about the same as announcing the
engagement.
It was a busy time because
each bride was expected to have
between ten to twelve quilts with
which to start her married life.
The last quilt to be completed
was the 'marriage quilt' which
had a heart motif worked into it.
Each friend or relative designed
and worked one block which were
all sewn together later to surprise
the bride.
As time went on, the actual
need for quilted bedcovers
decreased because blankets
became cheaper and easier to
produce, and for a time it looked
as if our grandmothers were
right . quilting was a dying art.
Whether it has something to do
with the times in which we live
and from which women are
trying to escape , . from mass
production and the surfeit of
synthetic materials, or a looking
back to the good old days . . .
whatever it is, there is a
remarkable revival of a craft
