The term handmade is typically utilized to define crafts created by a craftsman instead of a factory. Because it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is unique. Nevertheless, not all the stitching in a handcrafted quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter uses mechanical tools to develop his workmanship, our seamstresses make use of numerous devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotary knife as well as sew them with each other on the sewing machine. The quilter collaborates with just needle, thread, and thimble to quilt thousands of little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and talent to develop a thing uniquely for you.
