Quilts and Their Stories
Royal City Quilters’ Guild’s own Helen Martin’s love of vintage/antique quilts began when her mother gave her wedding quilt to Helen and her its story. This was also the beginning of Helen’s hobby collecting quilts, blocks and tops from the early 1800s, four-block quilts from the 1870s, crazy quilts from the late 1800s, red work quilts from the 1920, and the beautiful 1930s quilts up to quilts she has made.

Helen’s Bio
Helen began quilting in approximately 1965. Her mother made a quilt for our wedding in 1963 and had used the good corners of old flannelette sheets for filler. Then she discovered polyester batting and the tiny quilting stitches she make using it. She took our quilt apart and I helped her re-quilt it. This was Helen’s first attempt at quilting and she loved it. Helen has been quilting ever since.
