    Quilting two was very much practised. The cloth for the quilt was put into a frame. Then there was some nice chalk design put on it, and it was them quilted or sewn on the chalked lines. There was usually a party for quilting. The quilts made in this way were very serviceable.

    One of the old crafts was spinning. This industry was carried on very much in olden times. The spinning wheel is made of timber.
    This wheel is worked on a stool with a wheel string attached to the "farrow" and spindle. The wool is carded with small cards or send to the carding mills. Then the women made it into thread with the spinning wheel.
