There's something about quilts

There’s something about quilts, especially during this cozy time of year.

I love the beautiful patterns, the unabashed show of colour. I love being reminded of my grandma. I love how at first touch, a quilt feels cool—but you only have to spend a few minutes under it to start feeling toasty. I love how quilts are timeless—cherished treasures crafted by hand, to be passed down through generations.

Quilts aren’t like sets of china or coin collections—they serve a purpose in a home and provide warmth. They are both practical and beautiful. A quilt can tell a story through its pattern, and stand on its own as a piece of art. I especially love how historically, quilts have been created by women—sometimes on their own, and sometimes in groups. Quilts have a strong history steeped in tradition, and I find it fascinating.
