The Storytellers
Inevitably everyone who comes to The Quilt Inn comments on the name and talk
will turn to quilting. I can’t think of any other name that would have evoked such feeling
and storytelling as quilting has. Even for those who have never picked up a needle.
Everyone, it seems, has a quilting story to tell. Many are eagerly and proudly told.
Some are reluctant and sadly shared. All are precious memories.
A neatly dressed middle-aged woman recalled quilting with her grandmother
at a local church bee. Grandma was such a perfectionist that after her friends went
home, she would pull out any less-than-perfect stitches and redo them. She never told
her friends she did so. She loved them too much. And she quilted for the
companionship. The woman learned lessons of love from her Grandma.
A young woman with long unruly hair remembered her spinster aunt teaching her
to quilt as a young girl. The little girl accidentally left a knot on the top of the quilt and
wanted to take it out so not to ruin the aunt’s quilt. No, the aunt said, leave it in. That
way when I run my fingers over the top and feel the knot, it will remind me of you. The
young woman learned about loving acceptance and the poignancy of memory from her
aunt.
An older woman recalled that her mother worked in a cotton mill during the
Depression. Each night she was given a half yard of new cloth to clean down the
machines. Instead of using the new piece, she kept it and took it home. She used
another old cloth and washed it over and over again, secretly taking it back in to work
with her every day. From all the new pieces of cloth she made clothes for the family,
and wonderful scrap quilts for the less fortunate—at least she had a job to feed her
