Do you own any antique quilts? I have 3 finished quilts and 2 tops that my grandmother made. Mom said she could remember coming home from school (in the 1920's/30's) and the quilting frame had been lowered from the ceiling and memere (french slang for grandmother) and some great aunts would be quilting. I certainly treasure those.
I also have purchased a few from antique shops and even one from a garage sale.
