Hic-ho hello I'm Pacey. My class is doing a poster et speech on pioneer quilts I just want a second opinion cause my sister is not the best at giving opinions so I just want some advice. The women spin the wool into yarn so they can stitch the threads together. The spinning wheel is called the walking wheel because the spinner had to walk three steps backward to draw the yarn. So just post me a comment and I'll cheek you later.
