Fabric, from the field to the shop
 

This is a Georgia Bonesteel show from the late 80's early 90's I think, judging by her glasses and the bolt colors.
But the techniques go back 100 years or more.

All the machines required and the many many hands it goes through, amazing it doesn't cost us triple what we pay today

Thanks for the site...so interesting...watching this massive endeavor and trying to imagine how in the past this was done by hand.....we certainly have come a long way in a relatively short time.....

This is a good video but the music is so loud that I could not hear what she was saying.

I think her shows are still on TV occasionally. I remember watching them way before others that have followed her who have taken up the art of teaching quilting on TV.

Thanks for the link.

Neat! That was really interesting, thanks for posting.
