The history of America can be seen in the history of quilts. Quilting\, as a communal act for American women\, was b orn out of necessity at a time when fabric was scarce and expensive. The f irst colonists used woven blankets that were easier and less expensive to make or buy than quilts. As pioneer women moved westward. they learned to make do with whatever fabric they could get their hands on\, repurposing o ld clothing or bed linens into patchwork quilts. In the 250 years since\, quilting has become a massive multi-billion dollar industry including fabr ic sales\, sewing machines\, tools\, books\, and classes for millions of a ctive quilters. Sit back and relax as Becky Horton\, Johnson County reside nt and life-long quilter\, shares how quilts have become documents of hist ory\, influenced by the culture and the environment of the people who made them.
