Why do people sew quilts?

Quilts keep people warm. They may warm the heart, but they also warm the body. And what better way to keep you and your family warm than under one of your own quilt creations! Quilt making is an art form.

Can you machine-wash a quilt?

To freshen your quilts between washings, air them outside away from direct sunlight. Hand-washing is the preferred method for cleaning quilts. Even with a new quilt, machine-washing can cause the stitching to ravel. If you decide to machine-wash, use cold water, a gentle detergent, and the shortest delicate cycle.
