Quilters Patch Together New Community While Preserving Tradition

http://www.azpm.org/news/story/2012/1/19/1830-quilting-is-part-of-the-american-cultural-fabric/

American quilting traces its roots to early settlers who needed to conserve precious man-made resources in a vast yet challenging new continent.

Instead of throwing out remnants of cloth, enterprising pioneers and other settlers would stitch their materials together to create new pieces.

Today the tradition is alive and well, and its local fans--members of the Tucson Quilter's Guild--will celebrate it at their annual show at the Tucson Convention Center from January 20 to 22, 2012.
