Quilts
Quilts are made with a fabric quilt top and backing that has batting sandwiched in between the fabric layers. The quilt is sewn together in a process called quilting. This can be done by hand or with a machine.
Quilts have a long and rich history. They have been used for hundreds of years as bed coverings for warmth. It has become an art form. This art form is still vibrant today. Most communities have thriving quilting associations, classes and groups. Young and old alike are drawn to this enjoyable activity as an expression of creativity.
To further your knowledge of quilts, you may wish to attend a quilt show, expo or class. Consult your newspaper and community crafting locations to discover when these events are held. Watch out though – you may find yourself addicted quickly to quilting.
