I just stumbled upon this video. I have a Double Wedding Ring quilt that my Grandmother made, probably from flour sacks and a Log Cabin pattern quilt that the strips are put together. I have 35 Flying Goose squares that my Great Grandmother made. She died in 1907. Loved the display of the flour sack uses.

You are so lucky to have this history in your family.
Take care, 💖🌸
What a wonderful presentation by Nell Mathern! I would love to see more quilt history like she gave! THANK you! Sherry Cook, Stevenson, WA
Nell is a wonderful teacher and I would love to have more of her lectures on The Southern Oregon History Show!
The prices aren't too far off today's prices. That "Morning Glory" embroidered sheet/table cloth at $3.25 in 1928 translates to $46.31 in 2018 .
That hand-quilted double wedding ring quilt done by the Jacksonville Museum Quilters really is exquisite, you are absolutely right about that Nell !
Thanks for video'ing and posting your interesting presentation.

Thank you so much for what you do and for sharing this information. It was a pleasure to see and hear about each one
Loved this ! Hope to see more !
Yes, quilting is really fun! Have you seen the other quilting shows from the Rogue Valley Genealogical Society?
I truly enjoyed this presentation. You are very informed and great on presenting. Thank you.
So lovely to watch and learn.
Great presentation!
Thank you! Cheers!
Came for the quilting knowledge, stayed for the feed sack jokes.
Wonderful Job, very interesting. I really enjoyed the show.
I have some pieces that were made by my great grandmother in the Ozarks of Missouri back in the 1920's. She made dresser scarves, aprons, curtains, quilts, shirts, underwear, table cloths and everything else out of feed sacks and flour/sugar sacks. Of course, there were about 11 kids so there was never a lag in the demand for clothing or whatever. I learned so much from my grandmother! I also have a double wedding ring quilt top my great grandmother pieced together by hand for my Mom when she was 9 years old. I want to see if I can get the quilt finished because I was thinking it would hold up better if it were finished correctly. I don't know. If anyone has and wisdom to share on it I would appreciate it.
And most quilters who use a machine today, have a walking foot to feed all the layers evenly, allowing
one side of the binding to be attached by machine, the other hand sewn with a blind hem.
Yes, thank you, Lynn! Nell is wonderful!
thank you, I found this very interesting.
I really enjoyed watching your video. My grandmother used to make quilts from the old cloth flour sacks and her children's clothes after the material was too worn to wear.
Thank you, Anne! Nell is a wonderful teacher.
I really enjoyed this as well. My grandma made heavy quilts of pieces of velvet and wool and overcoat scraps like wool winter ones and tied them with yellow string. They were so so heavy and warm. Someone took our last one we had passed down to me. I was quite upset and even set out to look for it. My mom told me about the flour and sugar sacks having underwear patterns on them. Her mom ran a General store so I suppose the four girls and grandma got plenty to make and grandpa, too. The quilt was a crazy quilt. So interesting all the pieces of odd shapes were small and all sewn together so neatly and no cloth was wasted. It was not stiff either because the pieces of wool were smaller and all shapes so it bent and formed to your body so well. It was lined with soft muslin, I think. Maybe it was cotton but it held up all those years. At an antique show, I'm sure it would have brought a lot of money which is why I think that person took it. Hmm. Sad. It was so colorful as well.
You didn't say why the Scotty dogs were so popular. The President had one.
Great job Mom!
I love your feed sack quilts! They are all so clean! Do you have a cleaning process you use?
Be nice if you had actually showed some of the details you described.
Hard to get so close when Nell is presenting to 50 folks.
