| Abstract: | Quilting is centuries old form of stitchery. A quilt is, basically, a textile sandwich with a fabric cover on the top and bottom and the batting inside. Exciting and challenging contemporary quilts, whether stitched by hand or machine, now complements the enduring traditional designs and techniques that have evolved over the years. Patchwork, appliqué work and quilting can be very efficiently applied to enhance the appearance of many home furnishings. Synthetic batting that comes in several weights, is versatile as it can be laundered, making it suitable for bed linen such as throws and quilts. |
