The story about the mother making the quilts for her sons in the military really made me remember my grandmother getting a letter while my uncle was a POW in the Korean War. She worried about him terribly. I can’t recall her crying about him. He did get to come home from the war and lived a long life next to Granny and Pawpaw.
Love that family history Rhonda 😊
I love to hear you read to us & always like family histories. I once was at a family quilting bee. Lots os work but lots of personal pride in skill & keeping the family warm. Creative & practical. And, congratulations to you your family on little Ira. You must be thrilled. A healthy boy. One more coming! ❤
Thank you Lord God in Jesus' precious Name.
I worked with a very nice lady who was a child during the depression. Once a year, her dad would take her to the feed store with him and she would pick the grain filled feed sacks that would later become her dresses for the next year. I suspect her mother also used the printed feed sacks to make blankets/quilts. She told me after living through the depression and then WWII she never could throw anything away and always looked for ways to repurpose everything.
I enjoy these 'quilt history' stories! Congratulations on becoming a grandmother and I'm happy to hear that Corie & Austin's house sold and they're moving closer to you guys!
Thank you so much Johnny 😊
It warms my quilters heart how loved and cherished those quilts were/are. Thank you for reading Tipper.
You are so welcome!
Congratulations on the grand boy and Corrie getting the house I'm happy for you and Matt.
Thank you Kevin 😊
Every quilt tells a story, I’d love to hear the stories these quilts could tell.
Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you once again for sharing the wonderful stories about quilts. My Granma Lilly was a quilter and I am blessed to have three of them. The book by John Rice which you are sharing with us now has made me realize what a treasure I have. I remember coming home from school and and she would be working on one of them in the living room on frames. Sweet memories 💖. Thank you again for sharing your time and energy with us.
I love 💚 the Wild Flower Quilt ❤
My husband bought a quilt for my Christmas gift about 5 years ago from a flea market. It has sunflowers in blocks with yellow and brown edges. The quilt had a note pinned on it telling its story. The quilt was previously owned by a daughter of one of the pastors. It was made in 1952 by the ladies group in London, Arkansas to fund mission projects. Each sunflower petal was embroidered with a church member’s name on it and the middle of the sunflower was brown embroidered with the names of the church’s pastors. Each person paid $1 to have their name embroidered on the quilt. I love it!!! 🌻🌻🌻
That is so special 😊
I adore old things too tipper! I cannot stand the thought of anything going to the landfill. I give away/donate everything.
I cant quilt anymore but when my daughter was young i took a quilt everywhere i had to take her and i would work on it while i waited for her. Quilts are precious treasures.
Thirty-six children and still strength to quilt, raise cattle and assist with embalming❣️
I’m so inspired by her story 😊
For sure 🤗
The US flag quilt is awesome!
These sre wonderful stories, and beautiful quilts of historical heritage❤, my mothers been deceased 48 years and she used to quit and her friends too, Not fancy but kept us warm😊🪡🧵🧶
Quilt
Love those memories 😊
Congratulations on the birth of new baby Ira to you and all your family especially Katie sending blessings to wee Ira. Thank you Tipper for the reading today really enjoyed it God bless ❤
Thank you so much for the plug! I really enjoy these readings and I'm thrilled to be a teeny tiny part of it!
The personal stories of the quilts today touched me more than some other readings for reasons I really can't explain. I so enjoyed today's reading. Thank you, Tipper. Congrats to you and Matt on becoming Grandparents! Ira is a blessed little boy to be born into such a loving family. Soon there will be two little guys running around bringing you so much joy!
Loved all these stories but the one about the lady who raised so many children and The lady that made quilts for her service member sons stood out to me. Thanks for reading Tipper
The United States quilt is beautiful!
How wonderful Corie and Austin are moving close to you Tipper what a Beautiful Blessing ✝️Thank You for education in quilting .❤🙏✝️🌺Dear Tipper and Family 🐇Easter Blessings 😘
So many amazing quilts and the people’s stories behind each one. I love seeing so many vintage quilt patterns that are just beautiful!
Congrats on the new addition to your family! Yay Ira! Beautiful story, my granny was from Sevierville Tn and told us fascinating stories of her early life, her name was Ruby Jane. I treasure the quilt she made for me. My maternal grandmother, Ann Helen was a first generation polish immigrant and she made me a crochet Afghan. Both gifted me, the oldest granddaughter of 33 with these treasured gifts, I look forward to meeting them again.
Wow, Miss Mosey Sharp, what an amazing lady. The stories she could share would be something hear about. And Miss Betty quilting for her two sons at war, bless her heart. Thank you Tipper for reading to us viewers. 🙏
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Quilts are pretty awesome. I'm not a tailor, but I can certainly appreciate the work that goes into making one. My mom gave me a quilt that her mom made her for her wedding in the late 70s, when I first started trucking. It's still doing a great job of keeping me warm almost 50 years later. That's helpful, because I never really understood what real cold is before I went to Wyoming in the winter.
So many beautiful old quilts and precious memories of these Appalachian people. But most of all I appreciate the input & kind heart of the lady reading this book to us. You sweet Tipper! Thanks again~ 🙂
You are so welcome! Thank you 😊
My best friend has an apron made from one of her Daddy's shirts. I have two teddy bears from my Dad and brother's shirts. So touching!
The Dream Quilt is gorgeous 😍 with the peach & gray.
I think so too 😊
Great minds think alike 😉
I live in the mountains of Virginia close to bentmountain and I remember my my daddy telling me about my great grandmama's quilting parties I have so much mountain history here and so so many quilts and boy are they warm! I have quilts that are probably over 100 years old!
I loved the United States quilt. Just beautiful. Congrats to you and Matt on becoming grand parents to baby Ira. So happy that Corie and Austin got the house and can be so close to you all. Ain't God good.
He sure is 😊 thank you!
The family photos you showed made me recall when my 3 brothers and I were young a photographer would come to our home each year and take a photo of the four of us. We would always be posed sitting in a row. It wasn't until later in life that my mom told me we were sitting on her ironing board that had been lowered and covered with a blanket or sheet the photographer brought with him.
Love that 😊
Great video thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
More fascinating stories! I loved the wildflower quilter who was able to combine two of her hobbies into a work of art. While I'm here, congratulations to all of you on the new arrival - and your new neighbors ❤🎉
Hi Tipper, I love the stories about quilts. My mother quilted and was making a qiult for each grandchild when she past away. I hate that the younger ones didnt get to have one. I've made two and getting ready to start another. Congratulations on sweet IRA and that Corie and Austin getting to move into their new house. I know you and Matt are over the moon. A big hug and sending love to yall.
As I think I've told you before, my grandmother Chase had quilts aplenty in her house in Peterborough NH. I remember looking at them but because I was very young I never appreciated them. I don't know what happened to them. But I think a great deal of quilting as a skill and art that many women practiced.
Love seeing and hearing about quilt histories. Many thanks.
You are so welcome!
Oh, the "Dream Quilt" pattern has stolen my heart. I do not quilt, rather I am a spinner of fiber, dyer of fiber and knitter/weaver of the finished dyed spun fiber. I will have to replay and look carefully at the "Dream Quilt" to capture the pattern in my head. Thank you.
My oh my 36 children and all she did, what an admirable woman!! Betty's story touched me, I sat by the computer every night, waiting for my son to have a turn on the computer when he was in Afghanistan. Hi Ma would come on the screen and relief came. Quilting would have been a good thing to do then.....Congratulations on little Ira coming, and Corie and Austin coming close to home to live. 💗🙏
Thank you!! And I’m thankful for your son’s service 😊
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you!
I have really loved your reading of this book Tipper! I am lucky enough to have several quilts made by both my Grandmothers, and I have shed a tear or two every chapter. Thank you for the memories...
So glad you’ve enjoyed it 😊
Really love your stores- you are a great narrator. Reminds me of listening to Mom and Dads stories of the old times.
Thanks so much 😊
I love all the stories. The dream quilt was so intricate and so beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Congrats to katie and you the grandparents I have a grandson and boy I love that kid Gabriel

Congratulations on sweet little Ira!!!❤️
Thank you 😊
Congratulations new Grandma!
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕👣
Thank you! 🤗
Love the stories about the people
Ms Gallaway was my teacher at LCES in Lake City. We all loved her. The quilting was before my time, I guess.
Love that connection!!
I have a story about one of the quilts my mom inherited. I forget how many "greats" our grandmother was, but back in the civil war, troops came through and commandeered food and her quilts. She took a shotgun to their camp and talked to the captain of that brigaide and told him it was ok they took the food, but please give the quilts back. He did and my mom has one of them. It hung in the 5 points museum here in cleveland a few years ago when they haa display of quilts from the area!
Amazing story! Thank you for sharing it 😊
I have a quilt made by mom, no details on who might have helped. She embroidered names from family and Church family in the blocks. One block has my cousins name, Charles B, one year old. Hes a few months older than me, Im 78. Its a common quilt made with love. Cotton batting Im sure and still in good shape. I have a smaller Dutch Doll pattern she made also. A tack quilt she made 1975. I made a few quits and throw covers for my children and grands, nothing fancy. Enjoyed! ❤ Patti
What treasures 😊
That's so interesting how people cherished quilts , Seems the more we have the less value ppl put on things.
Great video. 😊
Thank you for your reading today Happy Easter to you and your family .Stay safe
Love this history... thanks Tipper 🤗💐
Oh my I didn’t know Corie got the house! Congratulations on your grandson.
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you Tipper, really love these stories and especially the one when they drew her sons little hand ,and they also sewn their names on the quilt, hw unique was that?. AS you read these stories I can just picture them sweet ladies working on these quilts.
Congratulations on your grandson Ira, and glad to see Katie is doing great and she looks so happy holding her son. God bless you and your lovely family❤ patsy😊
Thank you Patsy!!
Tipper

Thank you for all your hard work.
So nice of you! Thank you 😊
Such a good chapter! Your words were just as rich!
Thank you so much!
The removable quilt piece was a stroke of genious. I've repaired a couple of quilts with that issue, but 1 was so damaged at the top, I had to remove the first row of blocks altogether. Still beautiful quilts, otherwise!
Thanks for watching 😊
Waiting on the grandbaby announcement video! I know y'all are thrilled! ❤
You're such a sweetheart Tipper!
You are so kind thank you 😊
36 kids and all but 3 were boys? How...how did you survive the Great Depression? I can barely feed 1, just 1 boy let alone 33!!! That's a lot. What a wonderful story. Thanks Tipper. These were wonderful stories!
Great stories
Enjoyed ❤
know someone that makes quilts I would love to leave my grandchildren one.
Hi Tipper! I really enjoyed watching your video on quilts. I have a yoyo quilt my mother, Frances Roberts, of Hayesville, made gifted to me many years ago. I also have another quilt which my Granny embroidered squares (Winnie Pearl Ware Aaron) for me. I'd like to send you pictures of both if I may. Perhaps you can include them if a future video? Thanks so much, Joan Roberts.
So glad you enjoyed it! The quilts sound amazing. So glad you have them. You can email me at tipperpressley@gmail.com
Thanks beautiful
You’re welcome 😊
I gotta speak on the "slave quilts." I'm speaking from 6+ generations of personal family recorded history and boring undergrad / grad school education. My mother's family, which is partially (on the US part) Appalachian, had a number of quilters. But one great aunt was our champion. That's my beloved ppl from S. Carolina.
Back in time of enslaved quilters, many of us Black and Melungeon Appalachian folk (Dad's side) had *no* where to turn after we were released from being hostages. Wasn't safe to wander for most. In other words, even antebellum free colored folks HAD to live in. It wasn't by choice. You had to lean in to SURVIVE. Quilting teaches patience, i was taught.... clearly I don't quilt!
My family was luckier than others bc of our Revolutionary era Nigerian, European and Cherokee bloodlines, and therefore, lifelines among VA and SC state-mandated guardians/chaperones/"representatives" in order to stay "free."
Any Black quilt made at that time, no matter how true the love, no matter if she stayed by "choice," was done under emotional duress.
I love my Western VA on North section of Appalachia, Ms. Tipper ❤️, but Aunt Sweet's quilt is on my bed RIGHT NOW, and I had to tell HER/OUR story. Perhaps those girls were kind when others were not, but to live under someone's roof as a permanent servant with no other prospects *because* you are Black and it is 1865 - no. Consider the quilter's position, too, in further detail. With GREAT affection!❤
Thank you for speaking about this 😊
@@CelebratingAppalachia 🙏🏿❤️🙏🏿 thank YOU, Ms. Tipper!
It was called a “Slobber cloth”🤪
😊
Have you ever seen or heard of a horse hair quilt? It was wool pieces and homemade baseball penants stuffed with horse hair.
I haven’t but that sounds so interesting 😊
❤
25.00 Thanks!
Thank you Patsy!! You do so much for us!! We appreciate you. I hope you are feeling better 😊
I'm really very interested in the way you were reading tonight about the quilts I wished I knew how to quilt so bad. I can so I can hand stitch I can do ball gowns of the 6th 1864 65 in that area but quilting I have never accomplished that. Just wished that I knew how quilt, there are no groups around me that I know of. Teams in very beautiful quilts some ordinary and some very lavish. Like I said I just wish I knew how to quilt got any clues you can share with me I would appreciate it thanks Arlene first time to your show thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it! I’m not a quilter but hopefully some quilters will chime in with suggestions. You might find quilting tutorials here on UA-cam 😊
❤️🧡💜❤️💙🩷💙

Lovely 💟💌 guilt designs 🪡🧵in this segment. Quilter's biographies hold my attention equally. Thank you Tipper for gracing your audience with your well mannered reading.
