What makes someone a serial killer? Even though psychologists and criminologists have been working for decades to accurately define and identify what makes a person commit such cold-blooded murders again and again, we are afraid that the answer to this question could be way more complicated that it appears to be at first glance. The causes of psychopathy remain somewhat of a mystery

From early Latin literature to an obituary for the E.U., ten historians recommend their best reads.

Selections from the work of a largely unknown Nineteenth-century photographer named John Thomson.

Photo from an online auction A few weeks ago one of the social media quilt groups discussed the price of quilting over the years. Many remember their mothers and grandmothers quilting for pay and some of them have done it themselves. Comments in that thread below, a form of oral history (digital oral history?) North Carolina, 1935 Library of Congress About 1900 The pictures have no real connection to the stories but certainly offer history in themselves. Jean recalled: "My great grandmother quilted for other people in the 1930s to be able to pay for rent and groceries. I dimly remember overhearing in my childhood my mother saying she was paid 50 cents per spool of thread used. Does this seem like a reasonable amount for the times? That would mean that if she used 2 spools to quilt a top she was paid $1.00. ....She lived in a small rural Kentucky town, and I’m sure her clients would have been from the same county." Missouri, 1960s There was discussion about the charge of 50 cents per spool. Jean's great-grandmother lived in a small town during the Depression so people elsewhere may have paid more. Hazel: "My grandmother took in quilt tops... I think it was probably 50 cents a spool in the 1930/40s. She lived in Salem, Iowa." Oregon, About 1900 Diane's first thought: "I would have used little spools." Charging by the spool was the classic price determinant. Laura L: "The smaller and closer together the quilting the larger the amount of thread and pay." Spools varied in how much thread was wound around them. The Best Cord 40-weight above had 200 yards per spool. Marie Webster of Indiana in her 1915 book Quilts gave some information: "A spool of cotton thread, such as is found in every dry-goods store, averaging two hundred yards to the spool, is the universal measure. The price charged is more a matter of locality than excellence of workmanship. [In the past] one dollar per spool was the usual price paid..." She apparently was paying $5 a spool in Indiana in the teens. (Seems quite inflationary!) New York City, 1940s-'50s New York Public Library The $1 a spool price seems to have become the standard quoted in books and magazine articles in the mid-20th-century, probably based on Webster's book, the standard for quilt history for many years. Bunny looked it up: "Thread cost and sizes from '30s = 10c per spool; 125 yds per spool." 1948 Anna Huber Good Some readers remembered hand quilting themselves for pay. Diane "did hand quilting for people up until the late 90's. I charged .50/yd of thread , I measured a yard and threaded the needle. I know you shouldn't have that much on a needle, but it made it easy to keep track and it worked for me." Montana, 1961 Laura "quilted with a church group in the 80's and we charged so much for the first spool then by the yard after that. We measured out yards of thread and kept track. With the yard on the needle we went to the half on the first stitch, then quilted from each end of the thread. My son (a toddler) used to come and play under the quilt frame." Laura S. "I remember church groups charging by the spool and that was in the 1990s. I think it was $5 per spool but I don't know the size of the spool." About 1970 Quilters also charged a flat rate per quilt, which is what I recall when I had hand quilters finish the old tops I bought in thrift stores in the 1970s. "My mom was machine quilting in the '50s-70s and only charged $5 a quilt." Dianna: "My granny was paid $5 per quilt for hand quilting." Gail: " I remember paying $20 to have a queen-size quilt quilted back in the early 70's. Quilter charged $18 but my husband gave her $20, being 'generous'." California Migrant Camp, Late 1930s Library of Congress Diana: "My mom hand quilted for people She charged $20 for a double bed size quilt....she did such beautiful hand work. Tiny stitches." Marji still hand quilts with a charity group. Like many long-arm quilters they calculate square footage: "We have a quilting bee at the Gilbert [Arizona] Historical museum. We charge by the square foot. All quilts are hand quilted by wonderful quilters who volunteer their time. $7 a square foot." Texas, 1960s? And Virginia explains a new pricing system: "My Mom quilts with a church group. They charge $50 to put the quilt in the frame and then charge by the number of quilters per day x the number of days worked (sorry but I don't know what figure they are currently using). I know that Mom was fussing about how high the bill was getting on a quilt with a lot of quilting until I pointed out that they were still way less than what a longarmer would charge." New York, New York Public Library, 1970s? The Busy Bees at the Methodist Church Texas, 2012 Following this thread tomorrow: We'll continue looking at prices for quilting using published accounts.
