Origin Quilts

Most of us have had a quilt at one time or another, whether as a child or an adult. More than something to place over your bed, quilts tell a story. Handmade and passed down through generations, the idea of a quilt conjures up comforting memories.

The art of quilting has a long, storied history and is particularly tied to American folk art. And just as many handicrafts like hand embroideryknitting, and needlepoint are making a comeback, quilting has seen a resurgence. A wonderful way to express creativity, making a quilt doesn’t have to be difficult. There are so many techniques one can use, that it’s easy to get started and build up your skills.
