How the last American Civil War veterans lived, loved and died
The American Civil War, fought between 1861 and 1865, claimed 620,000 lives - nearly as many American casualties as every other war fought by the United States combined.
Make a lovely Frock Coat for Dickens Fair or American Civil War! By the 1860s, the Frock Coat had calmed down a great deal from the extremes of fashion that it exhibited in the 1830s. The skirts of the Frock Coat are narrower than in previous decades. The fashionable Frock Coat of the 1860s was typically single-breasted. Use our easy-to-follow pattern to make a Men's Frock Coat or Top Coat for the 1860s-1870s with narrow cuffs, wide elbows, attached skirts, side panel, and single-breasted front closure. Fits chests 34" to 54". All sizes in one envelope. Also included are assembly instructions, embellishment suggestions, and the extensive historical notes you've come to expect from Reconstructing History. Suggested Fabrics: wool or heavy silk; linen or lightweight silk for lining; heavy linen, buckram or canvas for interlining Notions: thread; up to 24 buttons for front, side & pockets; buckram; wool felt or padding for collar; buttonhole floss Yardage Requirements: Coat 3 yds 60” or 4 yds 45” wide; lining 2 yds 45” wide; interlining 2 yds 45” wide
Last week I showed pictures of traditional quilt frames and how they were propped up parallel to the ground. The four boards that support the quilt were not permanently joined together. The simplest way to hold the boards together may be C Clamps as in the above photo from Canada about 1900. C Clamps are adjustable hardware that looks like the letter C. They can be manufactured as the metal antique above or handmade as in these wooden clamps. In this more recent picture manufactured metal clamps seem to be holding the boards together. We can see by the borders that the quilt is extended out as far as it goes. The frame can be propped up in the back of the church basement when not in use. Here the Methodist quilters in Wheatland Texas pose with a Trip Around the World quilt in a C clamped frame. Cheyenne women using a frame supported by sawhorses and C clamps in 1961. The frame is clamped so a smaller area of the quilt shows. Quilters usually begin in the center and work out to the edges. Here's a frame positioned to take up the least amount of space. If working alone or with one or two others, this is a good solution to the space problem, a smaller footprint as we'd say today. C-clamp upside down in Saginaw, Michigan, perhaps about 1950. Does anybody quilt standing up? These women need ladder-back chairs so they can lower the frame. I wonder about the authenticity of this staged photo. The history of manufactured C-clamps is as vague to me as the history of sawhorses. You might want to do a little hardware study to see what the typical C-clamp looked like in 1863. The frame in Kimmel's 1813 painting is lashed together with the same string or strips that fix the quilt to the frame. This might be a good solution if you don't have 4 period C-clamps. I also see regularly spaced holes in the boards above. Similar to what's depicted in this quilting scene from Harper's Weekly in 1863. I have an old frame like this with holes down the middle of the boards. LRStitched blogged about a pierced board she inherited from her great-grandmother. http://lrstitched.com/2011/10/14/my-vintage-quilting-treasure-quilt-contest-entry/ Those holes could serve several uses. One could thread the quilt to the frame using them, or hang the frame from the ceiling with rope through the holes. The holes might intended for pegs. You'd line up the holes and peg them together as you rolled the quilt up. H W. Pierce's "A Quilting Bee in the Olden Time," a nostalgic print from 1876, shows "colonial ladies" at a frame held together with pegs and holes. He probably knew little about how 18th-century quilters constructed frames, but this seems like an accurate representation of a 19th-century frame. The frame is held together perhaps with pegs through the holes, resting on a middle rung in a ladder back chair. Is that a reticule (purse) hanging from the chair? In this 1990 photograph from Florida Memory Alma Bailey is quilting on a frame with what look to be home-made wooden pegs holding the frame together. The holes in the frame are also used to attach the sides of the quilt to the frame. The left-over string hanging down will be laced to the frame and the quilt as the frame is extended and re-pegged. See the photo here: http://www.floridamemory.com/items/show/110145 Again in Florida, women peg a frame together. The Florida Memory site has dozens of pictures from about 1990 showing quilting groups using a variety of traditional quilting frames. Search for "Quilt" on their site. Another way to roll the quilt up on the frame is the cogwheel. See a discussion here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage-antique-machine-enthusiasts-f22/grandmas-quilting-frame-older-t250515.html The other board that LRStitched inherited is also full of holes, but they don't pierce through the board and the holes are very irregular. Library of Congress These smaller holes are probably made by tacks that held the fabric that held the quilt to the frame. You wouldn't want to tack the actual quilt or backing to the frame, but you'd tack a sturdy piece of fabric like the ticking in the above mid-20th century of quilters in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The quilt is pinned or basted to the striped ticking. The Canadian women have wound strips to the frame to support the quilt, rather than tacking the sturdy cloth to the frame. These early 20th-century women have tied the sides of the quilt to the frame with string. It doesn't look too stable, but they are tying or tacking the piece rather than quilting it. If I were looking for Civil-War-era accuracy, I'd stick with home-made solutions rather than factory-built hardware and frames. Woman in White Springs, Florida State Archives of Florida, Florida Memory, http://floridamemory.com/items/show/106921 And don't even think about a hoop. It's a 20th-century idea.
Our ancestors are crying out that their living was not in vain. There are at least two comments to make about history. Ghana's Asante tradition teaches through the Adinkra symbol, Sankofa, that we must know where we've come from to know where we are going. It's like the Universal Law of Polarity, unity is plural at
