Quilts For Sale Quilts SA

Quilts SA - All of our products are handmade, originating in centuries of rural tradition. Color, cut, pattern, fabric... all this and much more goes into the making of our quilts. But the most important element is time. I've decided to start offering my handmade quilts for sale. I have a wide variety, sizes, and types. I have always tried to use good quality 100% cotton fabric. You'll find a variety of handmade quilts and wall-hangings (all from my private collection of quilts.) They are cut by hand, all are hand quilted. Most importantly, this is our home and all of our products are about making your home more comfortable and inviting.

One of the easiest, and practical ways to decorate is to scatter a few quilts, handmade pillows and throws around a room, like Feathered Star throw.

Lap Quilted Throws are smaller versions of regular quilts; big enough to curl up in, and small enough to take with you on trips, tuck onto the side of a sofa or chair, and hang from a wall for a quilted wall hanging.

Mini quilts are also perfect to keep that special doll warm!

Add custom embroidery to quickly make throws into wonderful personalized gifts!

Patchwork and Quilting was not as popular a form of folk art in South Africa during the middle to late 19th century as it was in the United States of America, but there is evidence that, as an art form, it was widely practiced. In rural areas women had to learn to be frugal and very bit of fabric was used. Women were very proud of what they could achieve from the little they had at their disposal. These women had to make do with very little: thread was recycled from old clothes and each woman had only one needle which lasted about 6 months and had to be sharpened on a stone until there was nothing left of it. (1) A study of quilting in South Africa shows that, in spite of isolation these women still thought of patchwork and quilting as an art form and did not necessarily make utility items. Even when they did cover blankets, it is evident that pieces of fabric were not randomly sewn together, but that the maker always strived to produce an article that was also pleasing to the eye. (2) For many house wives, the making of a beautiful, hand made quilt would have been the only activity in her busy day which could take her from her dreary circumstances.
