The Quilt Shop

Comfy Quilts

My friend has shown me several quilts over the last year that her sister has made. The latest quilt I saw was one that my friend received as a birthday gift. It was absolutely beautiful. The colors matched my friend's bedroom and yes it was all hand sewn. It took her months to make it. People have been making quilts since the early 1800's or before. Women gathered in quilting circles. Making quilts as a group was a fast way to get a quilt made and it was a great way to socialize. It's nice to know that this art form is being continued today.
