Quilting at Craft Village
.
Quilting is a wonderful way to express your self in both color and texture. Most quilts are made from
100% cotton. I will stop by the fabric department whenever convenient whether or not I’m making a
quilt at the time. Stock piling some fabrics when they are on sale is always a good idea and those
fabrics have a way of suggesting themselves to the most wonderful designs.
Cotton is the most often used fabric in quilt making, but it is not the only one. Silks, woolens, lace
and many other fabrics are often used to great advantage. Consider the color and texture. Wide
whale corduroy can be great for log cabins. Experiment!
Join a guild or club. The old timers can help you with any problem you might face. They can also
advise you when buying supplies. Quilting frames can be very expensive, but a person who has been
quilting for years can often tell you where you can buy the best frames at the lowest cost.
Whether you are interested in making traditional quilts, campy quilts or you want to go off on your
own path, quilting is a great way to express yourself.
