Great article, Annie! Thanks for dredging it up and bringing it into the light again!!
I haven't ever seen that article before. It was really great to read. Thanks for the giveaway.
I entered! Nice read! A friend of mine (I think he was egging me on) asked me bluntly. Why should I care about quilts. I then spouted off about some of the historical significance about quilts. How they were used to communicate. How they represented the lifestyle of the owner. He couldnt argue after that!!
Congratulations Natasha. Thank you Annie for re-introducing us to a great article. Heritage quilts and quilting is close to me.
When I taught high school mathematics, especially geometry, I used my mother's quilts in the classroom as instructional aids. This was before I became a quilter. I follow your blog and sent you and email too.
Congrats Natasha and thanks for th article... as a relatively new quilter I knew nothing of this...

I wish someone had taken the time to teach me quilting when I was younger - maybe, just maybe, math wouldn't be such a struggle for me today. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I noticed you joined my followers, so i came to return the favor. :-) That was a really interesting article! Thanks!
I just love the new blog look it is so cute!
That is a very good article. I really enjoyed it.It is a great reminder for me of how many things from everyday life that I can use in teaching my son. I am loving doing the Barbara Brackman civil war quilt with him!
Hello I came over to visit because I saw you are my newest follower...and now I see I've walked straight into a giveaway...what a lovely welcome. I'm following you now.
I just love your blog - interesting stuff like the article today is why I keep coming back. Thanks.
I enjoyed the article. I know that my Dad's mom was a quilter and my Dad has this beautiful hand quilted green quilt with birds that are a feast for the eyes.
Another wonderful thought provoker!! You always come up with some great fun.
Congrats to Natasha!!!

I am looking around at your blog and really like your articles and pictures. Loved the pics of Mason sewing!! How cute! I cannot wait for our granddaughter to be old enough to learn to sew (she is only 3 and I just gave her those old time sewing cards using laces to 'sew').
Thanks for the giveaway!
