Quilting Has A Rich History
While the exact origins of quilting are not well-documented, it has a rich history that spans cultures and centuries. For example, quilted garments and padded armor have been discovered in ancient Egypt. Similarly, quilted items have been found in China and India, suggesting that the practice of stitching layers of fabric together for warmth and comfort dates back thousands of years.
Quilting gained significant popularity in colonial America during the 17th and 18th centuries. Quilts were essential for warmth in cold climates and served as a means of creative expression. Early American settlers brought quilting techniques from Europe, adapting them to their new surroundings. Patchwork quilting, where small pieces of fabric were sewn together to create intricate patterns, became a common practice.
The Civil War era in the United States brought about a surge in quilt-making. Quilts were often made to raise funds for soldiers or to support the war effort. Legend holds that some quilts from this era contained hidden messages sewn into the patterns, which helped enslaved people escape to freedom via the Underground Railroad.
Experience the Artistry
Whenever I tell people about my love for quilting, I always wait for the look of confusion to come over their faces as I prepare myself for the inevitable question: “What made you want to make quilts (of all things)?”. My interest in quilting came from a book I stumbled on many years ago. I found the premise of “Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad” fascinating, and after reading this book, I wanted to recreate some of the symbols that this book presented.
Many more books have been written on this subject, including some perfect children’s books. Whether fact or folklore – Underground Railroad quilts sparked my fascination with quilting and my love for star patterns.
