I love hearing Mr. Stewart refer to his momma as mommy. My Appalachian family did the same. It was sweet to hear. I grew up hearing my dad refer to my momma as mommy. 🥰
Love hearing about these wonderful people. I remember my mother having quilting bees when I was growing up. Never knew anyone quilting outside.
Yes , Alex Stewart was my fav book you've read for us.
Mr. Erwin had a wonderful gift. I love that he wrote down or taped them all. We are all better for them.
Was nice to hear you mention Pikeville, KY. My children’s paternal grandparents were from there. Their grandmother quilted quilts for them when they were toddlers. I washed them too much and they started to fall apart . I wish I had treasured them more and handled them more gently. Now I understand their value and her love.❤
😊
I just love listening to you read,Tipper! I am really enjoying this book about quilts and I love when Alex is mentioned in one of the books you read and I think oh I know who that is! ❤
All of these people are just so incredibly interesting. As I child I loved old people, I would visit with them just as soon as going out to play. Now, I are one, lol.😂
One phrase I heard tonight and I’ve heard you say during different readings is, “it just ticked her (him/me.)”. My mom and her people (Stewarts) always said that. It had been many a year since I’ve heard that and it made me smile. Have a great weekend. TeresaSue
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕
I love to put a face to alex stewart ❤️ best book you have read by far.
Thank you Tipper for your kindness.Thanks for reading to us. I love this book. I know well many of the places & surnames of the people you are talking about. So very special to me.❤ Blessings to you and all your sweet family! 🙂🙋
Alex Stewart was such an amazing man he could literally do anything what a clever man and the quilts are amazing thanks Tipper God bless ❤
Hannah May's quilt was such a lively and unusual pattern❣️
It's wonderful that these people who worked so hard found joy in the quilting. Even utilitarian quilts were a constant visual reminder of comfort you provided for your family. The comment about the poorer people not having or even knowing about quilts to keep warm was so sad. Thank you for sharing these stories, Tipper.
The part of the book the surprised me was that a man knew how to quilt and did!!! I am so enjoying this book!!! Thank you Tipper!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Wow! It sure was a lot of hard work. Wouldn’t you love to have seen the quilts that Alex had? Thank you for reading more for us. So very interesting.
I do love Alex Stewart. I just like this book. The quilts are so pretty. And sharing their quilts with folks . That's so sweet.
Thanks beautiful
Thanks for reading to us! These stories are very interesting. I was not aware that women worked in coal mines before the '70's.
Enjoyed seeing Binx patrol the garden. Assume your garden statue is St. Francis. I think every garden needs one. St. Francis stands in my front garden and Buddha in the back garden. My cats like both of them.
I really enjoyed hearing about all the people in the stories, brings back memories from my childhood.
Thank you Tipper for reading this story stay safe.
Enjoyed today's reading. What interesting people. Remembering things fondly that were awful chores when we were young is so true for us as we get older, isn't it?
I love listening to you read . My folks come from Calhoun Rd, Frog Level Waynesville NC. Ever heard of that place😅.
Hey Tipper, I like Lillian and Harvey staying in contact after all them years. What a special bond they have with one another. And that Alex, he's a trick of all sorts. I would say in many ways like Matt. Y'all have a good weekend and prayers for Granny and y'all.
Binks video bombed you😂
Thank you for reading Tipper. As a quilter, touched my heart Alex wouldn't take any amount of money for those quilts.
Love hearing you read Tipper, your voice is so soothing, you could read the phone book and make it sound good, ( if we still had phone books) .I do love the story, I too like to think about the old days, when I was small, just to listen to my grandparents talk.
TIPPER, my wife watches you & lost your address, she would like to send a package, thanks
I'm 70yrs old an enjoy watching all ur family o when's supper lol
Thanks Tipper for all the stories I live in Tennessee but growing up was about the same as u all making quilts my grandmother made with her friends God Bless u all
Thank You Tipper, for sharing 🙏
Quilts are so beautiful! I wish I had the talent to make them.
Thanks Tipper for reading to us❤
Tipper, I watched your video
about all the quilts that you own. I believe you said your favorite one was a red one that your mom had given you and it was damaged. I had the following idea: you could take the surviving pieces and have it made into two baby quilts for your soon to be born grandsons. Red would work for boys and they would both have a special piece of their family heritage, passed down through the generations. Just an idea.
Sweet! Love the readings
