Quilts have been around for centuries dating back to 3400 BC. The earliest recorded quilting was found as an embellishment for a carved ivory figure of a Pharaoh. It is believed that quilting originated in China and Egypt simultaneously and brought to Europe by crusaders. The Multiple layers of fabric stitched together served as padding under the cold rough armor of the Knights and kept them warm in the harsh weather, Later the quilting process was used for Cowlite, (combined mattress and coverlets) in medieval England. Harsh winters brought about "quilting" from necessity.
From humble but necessary beginnings the quilting process has incorporated the techniques of many cultures; Italy's Trapunto, Japan's Yosegire, England's Cowlite-Stuffed Sack and France's Applique, Amish settlers came to the United States from Germany and Switzerland in the early 1700s The Amish Mennonites used solid color fabrics elaborated with feathered scroll and cable stitch work. In the mid 19th century the revival of colonial decor coupled with "the Quilting B" the American woman's social event, birthed many of the beautiful quilt styles and patterns we have today.
