Not all the stitching in a handcrafted quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter makes use of mechanical devices to produce his craftsmanship, our seamstresses make use of different tools to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotating blade knife and stitch them with each other on the sewing machine.

Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and also ability to develop a product distinctively for you.
