Are our quilts washable?

• Machine wash with cold water on gentle cycle.
• Use only light laundry detergent, such as liquid Cheer for colors (No bleach or bleach alternatives. No Woolite or fabric softener.) For the first washing, include 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 tablespoons of salt in addition to the laundry detergent. This natural remedy protects against bleed and also helps to establish the colors in your quilt.

Did you know?

The term handmade is commonly utilized to describe crafts produced by an artisan rather than a manufacturing facility. Due to the fact that it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is unique. However, not all the sewing in a handmade quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter makes use of mechanical devices to produce his craftsmanship, our seamstresses make use of different devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotary blade knife as well as stitch them with each other on the sewing machine. The quilter deals with just string, needle, and also thimble to quilt hundreds of small stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time as well as skill to produce an item distinctively for you.
