International Quilting Day/US National Quilting Day

Quilting refers to the technique of joining at least two fabric layers by stitches or ties. The quilting practice dates back as far as 3400 B.C. It was mainly a practical technique that provided physical protection and insulation. However, decorative elements were often also present and many quilts are now primarily art pieces. International Quilting Day and US National Quilting Day are celebrated in South Carolina, see The Quilters of South Carolina for more information https://www.quiltersofsc.org/.
