Quilting myths

July 26, 2009 by Scarlett Burroughs

When I hear a statement like the Apollo missions with men walking on the moon was faked, never happened, I go to Snopes Rumor Has It and see if they have anything on it.

Do you ever wonder if everything you’ve been taught about quilting is accurate? For example: what about the fabled Amish practice of purposely putting a mistake in every quilt (to show humility since only God is perfect)? According to Womenfolk, this turns out to be myth #8 of 11 they cover in their article Facts vs. Myths About America’s Quilting Past written by Judy Anne Breneman. Go here to see all eleven myths.
