The thing I love most about the world of quilts is that there is a place for everyone no matter what they enjoy ... handwork, machine quilting, history, modern art, etc. etc. It's a terrific world to be part of IMHO. ENJOY! My best friendships came from the world of quilters. Hope you love it.

Just FYI, hairwork wasn't always created with the hair of the deceased. Sometimes friends created these things, too. I saw a large one in St. Joseph, MO once that had a list of the friends who contributed hair to the project!

I believe the book, No Time on My Hands, was the inspiration for the musical play, Quilters, which is one of my very favorite plays.jgoltermann77https://www.blogger.com/profile/07115053491272379495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-37826721693136826062018-07-12T08:34:25.307-04:002018-07-12T08:34:25.307-04:00Lovely post with amazing history about Grace McCan...Lovely post with amazing history about Grace McCane Snyder.

I know that one item I have seen before is the mourning jewelry made of the deceased's hair. That custom is not one I would care to adopt, but I know it was a tradition.Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
