I know there's nothing new in the world really but to act like string quilting is new just because you call it by a new name . . makes no sense to me.Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00384610425504441705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769281924305795710.post-4106945358222681092007-03-18T15:20:00.000-07:002007-03-18T15:20:00.000-07:00wow - is that amazing or what!

I can't believe she had a whole show about it and never said string or mentioned it has been around forever. Amazing....

My MIL gave me a fun book by Gwen Marston "Liberated String Quilts" that does just that -- and includes some great pictures of antique quilts along with new projects.atethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13563533672161608587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769281924305795710.post-30161092160212973242007-03-15T02:37:00.000-07:002007-03-15T02:37:00.000-07:00When we did quilt appraisal days in Georgia we wou...When we did quilt appraisal days in Georgia we would see hundreds (ok, maybe dozens...but a lot!) of string quilts ranging in age from the late 1800's through the 1940's. I don't have a problem with someone writing a book on how to make them just be upfront and say you are teaching a very old technique!YankeeQuilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03324287185970922332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769281924305795710.post-58584652687205552002007-03-13T18:59:00.000-07:002007-03-13T18:59:00.000-07:00One of these days I'm going to realize that so...One of these days I'm going to realize that something old can be recycled into a money-making machine. Then again, I agree that it's ridiculous, so I'll probably never actually believe in it as a business idea. The positive side of this for us cynics is that we don't fall for it, either.Prairie Princesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07520071285272110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769281924305795710.post-34918012867224904802007-03-13T18:10:00.000-07:002007-03-13T18:10:00.000-07:00I have an antique string quilt I found in my grand...I have an antique string quilt I found in my grandmother's things.
