Side-step -

 

 

Yesterday and today I took a little side-step - 

 

And cut the strips for the binding - 

 

For my Basic Math quilt - 

 

 

That has been partially quilted for months now - 

 

Then I sewed them together - 

 

Rolled it all up - 

 

And set it aside - 

 

So it will be ready when I get the Free-motion quilting done -

 

 

Then I pulled some fabrics for my Antique Squirrel -

 

Found my Square-on-point die -

 

And raided my 2" strip scrap bin - 

 

Tomorrow we'll see how far I can get - LOL -

I also went back to yesterday's post - 

 

And edited it to include the information on  Barbara's label - 

 

 

 

EDIT - 1/16/22 - To include photo information and text of the label above - 

Pictured on the left above is Lula Belle Duck -

The text in the above photo reads as follows - 

 

1935 COTTON FEED-SACK QUILT 

Hand -made by Lula Belle Duck and her young daughter,

Lillie Mae Duck, Glencoe, North Carolina.

 

Glencoe, North Carolina, was the home of Glencoe Mills, the first

major cotton mill in the United States, owned and operated by the

Holt family from 1880 to 1954.

 

This quilt was entirely hand-sewn using scraps of many fabrics

including feed sacks.

 

Lula Belle's husband, Richard

Duck, was the Holt family cook

and probable owner of the

long-john underwear that was

inserted for additional warmth

with the quilt batting.

 

The ribbed underwear fabric

can be viewed  beneath a

worn scrap of the quilt top. 

Restored in 2005 by Barbara Moore, Indian Mills, New Jersey
