Dating back to ancient Egypt, quilting has been used for both necessity and adornment. It has been a rich tradition throughout American history, from the Indigenous tribal communities and early Puritans to the contemporary quilts of today.
Relevant Material: Contemporary Quilting in North Carolina brings together the textile works of Kimberley Pierce Cartwright, Sydney Lee, and Michelle Wilkie. Though each artist has a unique style, they all represent the continuation of a rich tradition that blurs the lines between art and craft.
