History of Quilting<\/strong>
\nQuilting holds a special place among well-known crafts such as knitting, embroidery, and macram\u00e9. Quilts, in one form or another, have existed in nearly every culture. Fragments have been found dating back to ancient Egypt and China. Even the familiar ivory figurines of Egyptian pharaohs depict them wearing quilted cloaks. It is believed that quilting arrived in Europe in the 11th century from Palestine, brought back by Christian soldiers returning from the Crusades. These included flags, ceremonial garments, tents, and coverings. During the Middle Ages, quilting was popular across Europe and was not limited to the lower classes. Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland, while imprisoned, not only knitted and embroidered but also sewed quilted bedspreads.<\/p>\n

Today, quilting is highly popular worldwide. Various household and decorative items, garments, and textile artworks are sewn from fabric scraps. In Lithuania, there are currently hundreds of quilting artists, including many professional textile artists. The Utena quilting club \u201cVor\u0117\u201d actively participates in exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
