Each quilt is an example of someone's personal taste. The art of layering fabrics to provide warmth and even protection is an ancient art. The tapestries that hung on the walls of mediavel castles were created for warmth. They became a way for woman to express themselves artisticlly while fullfilling a need for their homes. Quilts do the same for us. You can express your love for the look and feel of fabric, color, embellishments, embroidery, thread or just another human being. Quilts help make my home warm and welcoming. They are a way I can be creative and keep my hands busy. They are a way I can express my love for my family, community and friends.
