Quilts, quilting..... what comes to mind?
Are you a quilter or are there quilters in your family?
Have you always wanted to quilt but were not sure where to begin?
I know, questions questions questions....
Quilts are magical in a way. Quilts can warm or comfort us in a time of need as well as, transport us into a world of fantasy where the quilt draped over furniture becomes a cave or a castle. Or wrapped or tied can become clothing for royalty or even a magic carpet. Quilts are also gifts of love, an investment of time and creative flow most often given to those loved dearly by the quilter. Quilts can be a record of events and keeper of the past guarding memories cherished of those we love. Quilts range is size from quite small to enormous! They can be used as decorative installations or more utilitarian purposes, bed coverings or picnics come to mind. And the saddest quilt of all, is the quilt boxed and placed in storage out of sight. Quilters intended and intend for their quilty creations to by used frequently.
March 16th, National Quilt Day I will be sharing more about quilts in today's society. Quilts have come a long way from their roots in many ways and still remain 'traditional' on other aspects of the process. There will also be a FREE quilt pattern available for you.
Happy Quilting!
