Wooden spoons and baskets made by Richard Lewis of Carno

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

• Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:

  The traditional Welsh craft of basket weaving could have been an useful hobby to keep people occupied during blackouts. Richard Lewis of Carno demonstrated how he made these baskets, as well as wooden spoons and even potato-mashers by hand in January 1940.

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Vintage Quilts, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

• Joyce in the CactusPatch said:

  Wonderful shot, I am a native New Mexican and this is great to see. I can relate to how still one had to stand to get a shot back then, while looking into our bright sunshine with no shades.

• Beth Wales said:

  After her work on the farm was done, she then had to do her chores in the house and get the children ready for bed.Quilts like these were usually made in the few remaining hours before bedtime and on a sunday(day of rest?). So this probably took a couple of years to complete.(speaking as a quiltmaker who also has to fit sewing into a busy day).If she had a machine, it may have taken less,but it's quite an accomplishment -and she's obviously very proud of it.
