How A Quilt Maker Became A Famous Artist
Imagine living in a tiny stone cottage on a windswept island. It's freezing cold even through the short summer months. You have little money to spare and use it all only for necessities like the few clothes you and your family wear. Otherwise, you live off the land.
You know the value of your possessions and don't let anything go to waste. Therefore, when your clothes wear out, you keep the remaining scraps and use them for making things like curtains and bed covers. The bed coverings made from those scraps are called quilts. The first quilt sets were laboriously hand sewn from small scraps of worn out clothes.
In order to make your quilts cozy and warm, you learn from your geese and ducks, who fluff their feathers to keep warm. You collect and save all the feathers and separate the coarse larger feathers from the fluffy white down. Little by little, you fill your quilt with them until it is filled with down and warm as toast. Oh, what a luxurious feeling!
You have plenty of time to kill through the long winter days and nights. With nothing else to divert your attention, you devote your time to making a special quilt and pillow cases from the best bits of cloth in your collection. You fill this quilt and those pillows with the best goose down you have. Instead of keeping them for your own use, you sell them in the local market.
One spring day, a wealthy matron notices your handiwork and compliments you on it. She asks you if you would make a quilt for her. She will supply you with the materials, because yours are too coarse for her. You are thrilled, because she offers to pay you well for your work.
No one can say for sure who made the first luxury quilt set, but it's a good bet its origin was something like that described above. Even though modern quilts are rarely hand-stitched, there is still a mystique about patchwork quilts. As a matter of fact, a famous quilt artist learned her craft by stitching together quilts in a tiny stone dwelling in her freezing Orkney island home.
Now she lives on a large but still modest farm in the Kentucky hills. She still likes to make patchwork quilts for gifts, but she makes her living stitching together magnificent works of quilt art. These artworks can be found in some of the most prestigious homes and finest galleries in the United States. While she works, her husband is often outside cutting firewood. He uses husqvarna chainsaws instead of hand saws, but the lifestyle is very similar to what she had as a child.
There may not be a profound moral to this true story, but it's inspiring nonetheless. It goes to show how a humble craft of necessity can be elevated to the status of high art.
