Oh, that's right.
Absolutely.
So it became an all-female pursuit.
And the brilliance of that edifice that they built, that American women built, it solved all these things, right?
It allowed them to work with other women, and it allowed complete creativity, and it warded off the attention of men.
And there were shows and fairs and stuff.
I mean, not really quilt shows, but
People at the county fair would hang their quilts up, and you could see what your peers were doing.
And, of course, at Quilting Bees, you could see what your peers were doing.
So you could take it as far as you wanted, or you could just throw some junk together and make a scrappy, raggy kind of quilt, and it still keeps you warm, just like a real fancy one.
So it was a brilliant construct that American women –
came up with.
Yes, absolutely.
In the 1800s, we're talking about.
Yeah.
Yes.
The quilting frame, it's just a big square, a little bit bigger than the dimensions of the quilt itself.
So you could have six or seven or eight or nine women quilting around.
They would get sometimes two or three quilts done in a weekend.
like busy bees going at this stuff.
