Quilting involves repurposing, reusing, and recycling fabrics to create memory objects and leave a historical record. While quilting is said to be about these things, it is really about family, history, community, patience, beauty, expression, inspiration, love, creativity, and telling stories. The process of quilting uses fabric, batting, needles, thread, and a sewing machine to piece together quilts through picking fabric, measuring, cutting, sewing, quilting, and binding. It requires balancing time, patience, love, and enthusiasm.
