Our foremothers knew how to make a quilt using only what they had, from scraps of fabric to natural dyes. But, quilt making the frugal and eco-friendly way was easier for them:

Thank you for this article. Just yesterday, my birthday, I tried to make a wool gem. I'd had a class with Rose Hughes last year and she gave a quick demo, but I couldn't find my notes. As a result, my wool gem didn't turn out that great. Seeing your article today was like a one-day-late birthday present. Thank you!

Hi,

Good question! Rose makes a sort of "sausage link" of each stocking, with several fiber bundles with knots between them in a stocking. The number of bundles in each stocking would be determined by the size of the fiber bundles and the length of the stocking. Hope that helps!

Hi, just a quick question - Rose Hughes' technique - does she use one stocking per fibre bundle, or does she put in a bundle, knot it close to hold it in a ball shape, then put in another bundle in the same stocking and knot it close, then another bundle and so on, so she could end up with three or more bundles in the one stocking? I've got my latest copy and want to try it out soon, and thought I would ask the question so I don't end up with a total mess! Cheers, Linda from Australia
