Born of necessity in the day of the handloom and spinning wheel, and developed by lamplight in the crude log cabins of our pioneer grandmothers, quilt making is not only one of the most practical and useful of all handicrafts, but offers unusual opportunity for artistic expression.  Through the years, women have exchanged quilt patterns in much the same manner that they have exchanged recipes.  Frequently variations of original design were made, while more venturesome spirits devised entirely new designs.  Many of today's patterns can be traced back for centuries through a multitude of variations. 

Modern lighting, beautiful designs, complete instructions, and myriads of lovely new materials in all colors of the rainbow, plus scientifically layer-bilt batting that is easy-to-handle and easy-to-quilt, have removed much of the toil of quilting.  A few simple materials and accessories plus plain sewing neatly and accurately done, plus a desire to have in your home the loveliest and most useful of all bedding articles, are all that is necessary for you to create your own beautiful quilt.  Simply select from the wealth of patterns available the particular design that appeals to you the most, or strike out boldly with paper and pencil, scissors and pins, and create a pattern that appeals to your own artistic sense!
