Quilting Thread
#1
As I was hand quilting today, it brought to mind my Mother who hand quilted in her day. Since I'm sure that quilting thread wasn't available back then (1940's and 50's) what kind of thread was used for quilting? I'm sure my Mom used whatever she had, probably all purpose thread. Anyone else thought of this? Just curious.

I have alot of my mother's thread--C&C--that I keep in a jar just for display not for sewing. They are all wooden spools and that is what she used for sewing clothes as well as hand quilting. As I recall, she and my grandmother used yarn to tie their quilts, or perhaps it was several strands of embroidery thread.
