The quilt I'm working on is from the 1920's and it's very different from these in the photos! I'm still fascinated by the intricate stitching in the quilting of the quilts. Was it done by machine?Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418668511495166842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-28343905347922316782014-10-27T14:59:31.494-05:002014-10-27T14:59:31.494-05:00I bumped up the invoice to 250% so I could read it...I bumped up the invoice to 250% so I could read it. The lady from Minn isn't buying a quilt, she is having her gorgeous flimsy quilted. There is no cost for a quilt, just a description. It's all charges associated with quilting and binding. I can't tell if it's hand or machine quilting - but that's it.<br />Thanks for a very interesting post.<br />HugsTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927552672720816359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-31665978651672701032014-10-27T14:30:09.423-05:002014-10-27T14:30:09.423-05:00The Grape quilt is lovely.

And I adore that border on the Irish chain too.<br /><br />Fancy being able to buy a quilt for 32 bucks. I guess that was a lot of money back then but its still blowing my mind at how cheap that sounds. <br /><br />I enjoyed your post – great to see some antique quilting and quilts. <br />Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-24558969190813643352014-10-27T07:12:23.819-05:002014-10-27T07:12:23.819-05:00I'm kicking myself for not getting over there ...I'm kicking myself for not getting over there before the exhibit closed. The photos you've shared are gorgeous! The invoice for quilting is especially interesting. It looks like it is for quilting and binding a customer's quilt and $31 is pretty substantial for the time. In 1940, minimum wage was 30 cents. A car cost $800. Today minimum wage is 24 times that, and a $20,000 car (25 times their cost) is pretty common. That calculates to a quilting cost of $775 for a full size quilt. She certainly didn't undervalue her work!Sandi@Piecemeal Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824512693597603469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-56477180110145071492014-10-26T21:31:32.645-05:002014-10-26T21:31:32.645-05:00What a wonderful thoughtful post - thanks for shar...What a wonderful thoughtful post - thanks for sharing this exhibit (both parts) with us!!!!Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-37122315309797724332014-10-26T21:13:24.585-05:002014-10-26T21:13:24.585-05:00Here lately P, your blog has been an absolute feas...Here lately P, your blog has been an absolute feast for the eyes!
