How did Pioneer women do it all?

With all the modern day quilting gizmos, quilting is fun--but would we have done it back in 1800's with only a needle, thread and scissors? Here's my 1930's quilt strung on frame --with a little splash of red for the backing. Hope I can perfect my stitches.

Getting ready for The Quilt Frame...need to hurry and finish up this little project. Doesn't it remind you of Cosmopolitan ice cream.

Can't seem to leave furniture arrangements in one place more than 2 months. Did a quick bedroom switch up moving the bed 180 degrees---well actually I just switched the headboard and footboard, since the bugger was so heavy. Tadda. The old painters' ladder in the corner makes for a great quilt hanger-love it.
