The art of quilting integrated the European and African cultures in America during the slave period. The African folk-tradition was considered inferior, and the European superior. In spite of this gap, quilting brought about the unity of these two traditions and cultures.
It brought the values of both the African and European American women together in a way no folk art tradition did before. Both of them deeply rely on the traditions of storytelling and folklore. Uniting women to sew and pass the traditions to new generations are the common characteristics of both traditions.
Not only did both African and European Americans make Quilts to provide warm blankets for their families, but also to show their creativity and gain status, record family history, and to represent various themes and beliefs. Women considered it to be the best way to spend time together and display their skills.
Quilting has been a huge part of my family. It has been past down generation to generation. I had many great memories sewing with my mother and now I have the opportunity to share many more great memories with my daughter. A couple times a month we turn our phones off and enjoy each other’s company while we sew.  We have made dozens of quilts together and our family loves them.  They make the best gifts, but the biggest gift is the time I have shared with my mother and daughter.
I’m so passionate about quilting I had to start this website to share all my quilting products and Articles with the world, but most importantly I want to show that quilting is still a great way to bring love ones together.  So I hope you enjoy my site.  Please bookmark it and come back frequently because I post articles almost daily.
Share and Enjoy:
