Wrapped in Love: How Quilts Change Our Lives

By Karen Gruber

Quilts may have been born of necessity, three layers stitched together that offered warmth and protection against the cold and harsh conditions of life before modern conveniences. In lonely log cabins, old farm houses, and covered wagons women stitched covers for their family beds, one of the first recyclers using pieces of old clothes, curtains, aprons and worn woolen socks. Over time, creative fingers looked beyond necessity, stitching works of art that became cherished heirlooms. Quilts welcomed new babies, covered the bridal couple, and gave warmth to the sick and elderly.
