About this listen
Patchwork as an art can be counted as early as 5000 years old. However, there are literary references to the techniques of quilting from way back to the 13th century. The earliest surviving pieces of patchwork quilt come from the early 18th century though. It was in the 18th century that patchwork quilts found themselves at the crossroads of art, upcycling, family, safety, blessings, emotions & aesthetics in Europe! A parallel trend for patchwork quilts emerged in North America around the same time. Nevertheless, patchwork quilts are one of the most interesting examples of sustainable textile crafts, that embrace materials from everywhere; discarded clothing, sheets, clothes from charity shops, and much more; assimilating them into timeless pieces of exquisite craft.
