Christmas Treasures

All pieces are hand crafted using all cotton fabrics and batting.  Quilt tops are constructed using a sewing machine and all the quilting is done by hand.

Like so many of the 'life-skills' practiced by past generations, hand quilting has not much survived the industrial age.  Be it a sense of too little spare time or an art that is just lost, very few people are hand quilting anymore.

The advent of quilting machines offers a quick fix to the dilemma of having a top quilted, but it is little more than adding thread.  While it is a solution, it is not a viable one for anyone wanting the finished product to impart lasting value.
