Quilting: an Enduring
Craft
Quilting is the process of stitching together layers of
fabric that are filled with a soft textile, usually
cotton. In a sense, quilting is like making a “textile
sandwich.” Quilts are traditionally used as bed coverings
because of their warmth and comfort, but they are also used in
clothing, upholstery and home decorations.
One of the best things about quilting is that every one you
make is uniquely yours. You can take a design and adapt
it to your own needs, changing the fabrics, textures and
colours in whatever way you choose. The resulting
possibilities are as limitless as your own creativity and
imagination.
I have been quilting for over 10 years now, and through this
site I hope to share my love of quilting, and also many of the
interesting quilting ideas and resources I have come
across. Check back often, as I will be updating the site
on a regular basis.
Happy Quilting!
