I love her site, and she is on the Needle Arts and Vintage Textiles discussion group on ebay. Incredible amount of knowledge, and logs in often to share.

Sometimes she just bowls me over with the information she can give just by looking at a sometimes-blurry picture!

Very interesting!
I guess when I get to the point of making a "perfect" quilt, I'll think of adding a "humility block"
For now I'm pleased with perfectly imperfect quilts I've been making :D

Thank you for posting that link. I appreciate the part about machine quilting in the 20th century. Have only been quilting for about 3 years but can't count the times people have informed me that the only authentic quilt is one that is done by hand. :lol:
