I can truly relate to finding treasures like this at auctions. Years ago my husband and I frequented antique auctions and I always found myself bidding on old sewing boxes. I would look thru these and wonder what type of sewing the previous owner did. Was she a mom mending clothing many times over, was she a quilter? Thank you for posting this video. It brought back a flood of many wonderful memories.

Thanks for posting. Very enjoyable and bittersweet. Wouldn’t it be great if some of gladys’ relatives came forward. I know a long shot but still... There are stories to tell. I wish my trade machines and featherweights could tell me
about their history.
about their history.

She does still sell her cigar box quilts that were inspired by that find. They're here:
