It’s #FabricFriday , where we shout out some of the sewn, stitched, and woven pieces of the past. Practice makes perfect! Sometimes the easiest way to learn is to practice on a large hoop – which is exactly how people learned how to sew! With repetition comes grace!
It’s #FabricFriday ! Quilt making is a long, complicated process that involves a lot of patience, creativity, and careful sewing. So we should stop to take a moment and appreciate the little details left in. Cat-loving is something that never gets old. 😊
It’s #FabricFriday ! Today’s theme is Home Spun and Hand Sewn. Everything in the past was done by hand - hand-stitching together quilts, putting together tablecloths, and reusing cloths for everyday clothes. Flour sack dresses were especially popular during the Great Depression!
Cheers on reaching the first #FabricFriday of the month! We are celebrating silk today with a silk bag from Turkmenistan, a significant stop on the Ancient Silk Road.
Colorful silk textiles are enduring symbols of cultures along the Silk Road.
It’s #FabricFriday ! Today, we’re showing off our pride and joy, the Crazy Quilt. This lovely quilt greets newcomers to the Tobacco Farm Life Museum. Quilts like this showed the sheer ingenuity of early farm families – the backing is a tablecloth!
