Some quilts involve hundreds of hours and thousands of stitches to create a unique patchwork quilt that will last for generations.

The term handmade is generally made use of to describe crafts produced by a craftsman rather than a manufacturing facility. Each handmade quilt is unique since it is not mass-produced. Nonetheless, not all the sewing in a hand-made quilt is done manually. Just as the woodcrafter utilizes mechanical devices to produce his craftsmanship, our seamstresses use different devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her items with a rotating knife and sew them together on the stitching machine. The quilter deals with only needle, thimble, as well as thread to quilt numerous little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and also skill to create a product distinctively for you.
