For the love of fabric:
Quilting tradition still going strong
Shops will offer all the help you need for that specialty project
By LORI HALL

You can’t beat snuggling
up on a cold, rainy Ore-
gon night with a quilt
stitched with love by
someone you know.
Though it is one of the oldest
crafts out there, quilting is still
popular and hasmany forms and
styles— fromclassic, log cabin
patterns to ultra-modern prints to
pictorial quilts depicting images.
Today, quilt shops and sew-
ing stores offer a variety of fab-
rics, supplies, kits and even
classes. So, if you’ve ever been
inspired to make a concert T-
shirt quilt or a quilt made out
of your children’s favorite
clothes, don’t be afraid to head
out to one of these shops to ask
for help:
