Originally patchwork came into being due to thriftiness,

when clothes and blankets were too worn to be of any use, 

good pieces were cut out and sewn back together to make a 

quilt, or another garment.

In some respects this hasn't changed as many modern patch-workers 

and quilters only use recycled material from jumble sales, charity 

shops and the like. Others buy new materials from shops with cater especially

for these devotees.

Many people wonder why others buy beautiful pieces of material 

only to cut it up and sew it back together again!

These people should be taken, probably kicking and screaming, 

to at least one of the many patchwork and quilting shows held 

throughout the UK each year.

Anyone who can thread a needle, or use a sewing machine can 

patchwork and quilt. It just needs a bit of guidance and patience in 

the initial stages, then away they go! Some people jump in at the deep 

end and tackle a full sized quilt, others start with a cushion, placemat 

or another small item.

Whatever the choice, a great deal of personal satisfaction is derived from

that first completed article.

TRY IT... YOU WILL BE AMAZED!

Meet: Tuesdays @ 10am-12pm in Jubilee Room
