I surely miss the gentility and respectful way we used to make films like this. I am a quilter and this is a very good presentation of what is involved in the process. I have been missing the 1960s and 70s very badly and this takes me back to a time when I was probably just about to enter high school and in home economics class learning to sew. How simple that time was and how much more peace and focus we all had as Americans.
Wow, really enjoyed this. I'm 50 and I am just beginning quilting. Been a truck driver for 28 years and I find myself craving a more "simpler" life/world like in this video instead of today's fast pace. Nothing went to waste back in the day. Hoping You tube will pop up some more old videos like this Gem. ❤
I'm 29 and loved this. Make me appreciate all the generations before me and how special and deeply human it is to make things by hand.
I am amazed at how these ladies would make these quilts back in the day. No rotary cutter, none of the nice rulers we have now. That is true handiwork and pure art and patience. Hand sewing and hand quilting - made my fingers hurt just seeing the video of them sewing. Its just amazing to me how far quilting has come in the areas of techniques and tools.
Think about it, if that woman was 78years old in 1971 , it means she was born around 1893. Such a treasure to have video of the wisdom and generations.
Great video! Thank you so much!! The quilts are made with a lot of love and care and the setting of the video takes you back to the seventies !!
I'm happy to say I own a genuine hand-made Kentucky quilt made by my great grandmother, circa 1920s. It is exquisite. And cherished.
I really appreciate and enjoyed your story thank you
What an absolute delight . Thankyou ✂️✂️✂️

Anyone have any idea what she is humming? That then starts playing on the guitar? Sounds like a lullaby of sorts.
Never thought I'd come here from a MonoNeon Song lol.
Is there anywhere a person could find a link for the pattern of the square shown at 5:56? Any idea what this square is called? I am very interested
It's a tumbling block star quilt. It's just squares, rectangles and diamonds.
@@wkuarchives7014 anyway to know who the woman quilting in the beginning is?
@@amandastanley2210 There are credits at the end of the video. She is one of the women listed, but we don't know which one.
@@amandastanley2210 The first quilting lady is Myra Comb Hicks.
Mono Neon brought me here!
Who else?
what is the poem a the end?
There is Joy in the Haven of Rest
