Women have been creating exquisite quilted masterpieces since the mid-1800's. Quilts are an expression of frugality. They not only serve a practical, functional purpose, but serve as a form of art as well.
Years ago in my grandmother's days, groups of women gathered for quilting. It was a form of socialization and relaxation for women. It was a time when they could get together to visit and catch up with one another once their household duties had been done.
Now days, this social gathering has turned into a business enterprise for many women. They are phenomenal artisans. Quilt Art is springing up throughout our communities.
Quilts are not just used as a form of bedding or covering for furniture and keeping warm, but as beautiful wall hangings. Most of all, they are gifts that last a lifetime and can be passed on from generation to generation as family history tokens.
