Spinning Needles

Spinning Needles Things I like, and that I like to make A quilt is not just a blanket. A quilt is a tradition, and each quilt has a story.

While often quilts are thought as traditionally American, quilting in the rest of the world goes back many centuries. The earliest surviving quilt in Europe is an Italian piece that dates back to the 14th century (called the Tristan quilt, a piece is displayed at the V&A museum in London). Archaeologists found a 100 BC-200 AD quilted carpet in a Mongolian cave, and the oldest ever quilt was depict

ed on a carved ivory statue of an Egyptian pharaoh from the first dynasty (c. 3400 BC). I am one of the many many people keeping keeping this tradition alive, and I love making quilts for other peoiple so they can start their own tradition,
