Pam's stitches. October 02 2017

What is a Sewing Bird? September 18 2017
This beautiful antique tool was designed in the 19th century for hand sewing. Clamped to the edge of a table, it acted as a "3rd hand" keeping the fabric taut as one sewed. By pressing the top and bottom tail together it opens the beak which allows the sewer to place the fabric in the beak holding it securely while stitching a hem or seam. Keep in mind that the sewing machine was not invented. Women would buy fabric to make their kitchen towels, sheets, quilts, blankets, aprons and clothes for the family. This involved a lot of hand sewing; to be exact, hemming! A very handy tool to have before the invention of the sewing machine.
Hettie Puckett and her friends made a quilt top September 07 2017
Some years back I bought a vintage quilt top. It's one of those "many hands" quilts that I love so much. A quilt made by a family or a group of friends. It is very simple, a checkerboard design with bubble gum pink and off-white muslin squares. What makes this one so very special is that each muslin square contains a hand embroidered name. And what wonderful names they are!
