In the Victorian era people used to craft with human hair. A while back while traveling, I stopped at a historical society museum where they had a human hair wreath — it was very delicate and lacy, almost like tatting. Behind it was a piece of paper with numbers, and along the sides of the frame was a handwritten legend naming each person the hair had come from. It was apparently made over time as a memorial piece and had hair from I think 25 or so members of a large extended family. It was lovely and slightly creepy at the same time.
What were the correct answers?
I added a link to the answer key at the bottom. Check to see!
I’m really glad about the last question but somewhat sad to hear that podcast doesn’t exist!
I got 8 out of 10. I clearly read too many sewing blogs/listen to too many sewing podcasts.
7/10…..!!!Yay!!!!
7/10. Very cute!
I also want SewAnnoying to be a real podcast.
Me too!
8/10, I surprised myself!
Sew annoying needs to be a podcast.
Quilting with human hair….very odd, but you never know when weird things will gain popularity!
Agreed.

Wow. That’s amazing! So perhaps there’s hope that this will indeed become a trend.
7 out of 10. Not too bad. The human hair thing would be kind of creepy, wouldn’t it?
Yes, yes it would.
