From cozy blankets to works of art, quilting has a rich history woven with creativity and resilience. Did you know the oldest known quilted garment dates back to ancient Egypt? Fast forward to America’s early days, where quilting became a cherished folk art, often created in “quilting bees” that brought women together to share stories and skills. 🧵✨

Quilts are more than just practical—they’re a canvas for storytelling. The Underground Railroad is said to have used “quilt codes,” with certain patterns like the "Log Cabin" symbolizing safe houses. While scholars debate the extent of this, it highlights the powerful role quilts played in women’s lives as tools for expression and communication.

In the 20th century, women like Gee’s Bend quilters from Alabama gained recognition for their bold, improvisational designs. Their work is now celebrated in museums worldwide, proving that quilting is truly an art form. 🎨💖

Today, quilting remains a beloved craft, with women across generations passing down techniques and traditions. Whether it’s heirloom patchworks or modern masterpieces, each quilt tells a unique story of its maker.
