Hello Becca and thank you for your answer!
I'd read about being paid per yards of thread,
“(…) in 1942 they quilted (for raising money for their church, in Pennsylvania) for one cent per yard of thread! (The quilt, a history and celebration of an American art form. Elise Schebler Roberts, Voyageur Press, p. 187)”
Very interesting!
I agree with you, I love quilting and I’ll also make it to enjoy!
Have a nice day and happy quilting!
Patricia
