Default Attended a Quilt Show

I went to a quilt show this morning. It was a traveling exhibit from New York and had quilts dating back to 1800-1825. Unbelievable!! It is amazing how tiny the stitches were and how close together the different rows were. We saw a log cabin one that was made from satin and velvet. There were several from Amish quilters and the Lancaster County area. The Amish quilts were mostly from Indiana. It amazes me that these women had the frames up in there houses continuously and they would sit and quilt, using these tiny stitches, and tiny rows.
