Hearing about the hard times people endured back then sure makes me thankful and appreciative of how truly blessed we are today. 🙏🏻😊
these stories make our troubles seem nonexistent thank you so much for reading to us
What I like best about all the quilting stories is the joy that they get from quilting especially after doing it so many years.
Thank you Tipper for your generosity and dedication. Your family, readings, history, gardening, quilting,and everyday Appalachian life. God bless.
You are so kind! Thank you Tony 😊

The people of that time were far tougher and happier than we could ever be.
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 ❤😊
I love hearing these stories about life back then. Man, it sure helps us appreciate the things we have available today! The people back then are heroes to me.
Thanks for reading to us!! As you read, I keep thinking how hard life, just daily existence, was for folks back in the early 1900's. I can't fathom earning 17 cents or even a dollar a day.
Me neither Johnny 😊
Thank you for showing us not only beautiful quilts, but the dedication , hard work, and courage of these wonderful people who made them. They left a legacy for us to carry on. Bless you for the wonderful work you do! 🙏🏻❤️
What wonderful ladies. My husband had a sister who lived to be 98. She quilted until she was 96. God bless these hard working folks.
The strength of character displayed by these folks is so amazing & humbling to me. To work so hard for hours on end for so little is heart wrenching & the obstacles they had to overcome is mind boggling, like walking 16 miles & working in the bitter cold. I can’t even fathom an existence like this.
God bless each & every one & bless you Tipper for brings this account to us.
I just love listening to the history and personal stories of these women and their love of their American craft. It is just beautiful. You are a teacher at heart, Tipper. Thank you for your devotion to sharing and teaching about Appalachia. You help all of us love and celebrate Appalachia with you.
Thank you so much 😊
These quilters, the steadfast personalities in hardship situations, are worthy for remembering as true encouragers! They dertermined to be their own light💛📖
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 all you do, your readings are so appreciated. Blessed be you and your family. 🙏🕊️
I'm so glad you enjoy them 😊
🥰👍
These beautiful stories are just so humbling. Such resilient people who seem so genuinely happy. God bless them. Thank you for reading to us and sharing their stories. TeresaSue
Thanks for the readings. Brings back good memories.
You are so welcome 🤗
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.
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.
That is so wonderful Brenda 😊
Once again,thank you Tipper for sharing more of your wonderful book. 😃
Thanks for sharing the story great video my friend thank you for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tipper, you always seem to express your thoughts about the people and their lives in the chapter, it’s just as emotional moving as the stories themselves. Thank you.
I love the part about putting something up every day. And storing the cabbages like that is a lost art! I’d love to learn to do that.
Such lives these people lived. It is almost impossible for us to even imagine what they took as the norm in their day to day lives. It is good for us to hear these things. It really puts things into perspective. Thank you, Tipper.
Thank you for watching!
It struck me how careful they had to be with a single needle. Thank you for reading Tipper. ❤
Wow those old timers sure had it hard back in those days and they achieved so much we are so lucky and blessed in our time thank you Tipper God bless ❤
I'm late on board with your story telling, but thoroughly enjoying this series. I so enjoy hearing about the many quilters and their stories. Such a rich history. 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!! ❤️
I love this reading. I think people were tough as nails back then. That's a term my Grandmother would say. She loved to quilt. I wish I would have learned myself. Thank you Tipper .
Thank you Tipper for sharing this story. I enjoyed hearing you read it. God bless you and your family❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
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.
Thank you so much for all the videos you put out here. Every night you are my " go-to" channel to sooth and relax me. I loved your reading about quilts and I just love you and Matt fixing up the gardens and getting ready for spring. And your cooking episodes, especially when Matt cooks for you on the wood stove. Love you all and keeping you all in my prayers 🙏💜💜💜💜
Wow, thank you!
You and the family have a wonderful night, again thank you.
Thank you! You too!
I just love those beautiful stories, Tipper. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. They're like the "Quilting Edition" of the Foxfire books! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you Tipper , for reading this wonderful book today . Have a blessed weekend stay safe.
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.

Love those memories Skip! Maybe we run into each other at the fair 😊
Love the stories of their lives
Would love to do a tuff-in hanger for my girls for Christmas…I have made quillses for each of my girls and their husbands. It all was so interesting to hear. Love it, please give us more readings.
The 1982 World's Fair was a wonderful experience with a season pass...
I'm really enjoying the book... thanks Tipper 🤗❤️
I remember 1981 when I lived in Tennessee. At that time the roads in Knoxville were like a quilt being patched together with daily changes, getting ready for The World's Fair 🎉
Love those memories 😊
Back in the days! Family was more close, and help each other. Down days! Family doesn't have time to visit, or they don't get along.
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! 🤗🙏💕
What a treasure!
I love these stories ❤️
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.
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 love listening to you read. This story makes me want to start another quilt. I’m waiting to find out the gender of my 3rd grandchild coming this August
Tipper, I sure enjoy this book. Thank you so much. You know, I still say “mess” when talking. I have been wanting to ask you if you remember hearing the old timers say, “Petered out”? I can still hear my dad say that. 😊 It means too tired to go on, tired enough to quit and walk away, to be exhausted.
So glad you enjoy it!! We say petered out too 😊
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your channel.😊
Riper. Thank you so much for these stories of life. I have heard so many similar stories from my grandparents. I just love this. Family is still so important.
Enjoyed!
Loving this quilting video!
I enjoyed ❤❤ Patti
You have an Eastern Phoebe competing with you! ❤

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.
I’ve never heard them being called haps. That’s very interesting. I love folk history. I love the label “lap haps”. I’m sure they were much appreciated in the homes for the elderly.
Boy can I appreciate your readings from this book Tipper. As always we really love your reading to us and the content of this book!
Thank you Buz!!
Thank You dear Tipper 🙏
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
So many last names that I have heard, I will have to look into this story. My Mom was raised in Knoxville and she will be wanting to hear this story!! Thank you Tippet
Glad you enjoyed 😊
Another good reading. Thank you Tipper.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
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.
Thank you Margaret 😊
I did go to the 1982 world's fair. Just graduated high school. My dad lived in Newport/I lived in Christiansburg va. Me and a friend went to visit and went to the fair. I wasn't interested in the Ole times stuff then either. Even so wish we could have spent more than one day there. It was exciting big and overwhelming 😮
It was overwhelming 😊 maybe we were there at the same time 😊
Thanks beautiful
You’re welcome 😊
I love hearing you read. So soothing.. you are so good at it! I read to my children and my granddaughter. I know you must have read to your girls.. and will to your grandsons! You make me wish I was apart of your family.
Have you decided what you want the babies to call you?
💙💙
You are so kind-thank you!! I'm down to grandma or mamaw 😊
