Creativity in Your Hands
Creating patchwork quilts is a fun and practical craft that even the clumsiest person can enjoy. Quilting isnt just fun– its part of a tradition that dates back as far as the first century BCE. Homemakers have long seen the value in saving scraps of old and leftover cloth for use in other projects. By stitching these scraps together, they created patchwork curtains, bedcovers, and even clothing. Patchwork quilting isnt just part of European history; in the United States, quilting bees were important social functions for pioneer women. By learning just a few easy stitches, you can become a part of this storied tradition.
