Collecting Quilting Memorabilia
Accumulating vintage quiltmaking and sewing gadgets often evolves into a fascinating hobby for quilters. Some of these remind us of items we might have used or a family member did. Others attract our attention simply because they’re interesting and connected with our art.
I have a collection of thimbles and add to this whenever I can. My daughter and I also remain on the lookout for other sewing items, whether they’re used exclusively in quiltmaking and fabric art or simply connected with sewing of past and present.
Sometimes these sewing/quilting items have been handed down through the generations. Others you’ll find at yard sales, estate sales, at antique shops and online.
I also enjoy browsing through books about sewing/quilting gadgets and memorabilia for ideas of those I might add to my collection.
Do you have special memorabilia you enjoy collecting?
