Crazy Quilting Supplies from Evening Star DesignsThe Family Quilting Tradition
12 15th, 2009
Whether you consider yourself an expert seamstress or more an amateur with a passing interest in sewing, starting a family quilt is an excellent tradition. The family patchwork quilt is comprised of dozens, sometimes hundreds of different patches all representing a different family member (often made by that family member as well). Over time, patches made by future generations can be added to the quilt, allowing for the entire family to recognize their ancestors and trace their heritage. The patchwork quilt is a great item to bring out at Christmas or during other family events.
Starting your patchwork quilt is not difficult at all with a few simple quilting supplies it often begins with one simple patch which can then be sewn onto an existing quilt, or multiple patches sewn together to create a basic outline of the future quilt. Make sure the whole family gets involved and it will make your tradition all the richer.
