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!
