In a world of what seems like endless options, finding the right gift for your loved ones may be overwhelming.

From a variety of price ranges to retail choices to technological must haves, the possibilities have no bounds. But, sometimes the value of the story behind a gift can get lost.

While expensive material goods are always appreciated, many people hold onto the narrative of “it’s the thought that counts” above all. 

Quilting tells a story of generations. Quilting gives you the opportunity to get creative and tell a story of friendship, of family, of love – all through the fabric in your hand.

Corey Pearson, Master Quilter and VP of Customer Success at Linda’s Electric Quilters, shares the powerful ability of storytelling quilting has.

“Quilting can serve many purposes, but the stories that are told through the stitches are the true seams of the craft. Through our fabric choices, patterns, and purposes we tell our stories and leave lasting impressions,” says Pearson.

T-Shirts. Blankets. Table runner. Pillows. We could go on and on about all the gift opportunities quilting presents. You could cultivate a one of a kind gift that will imprint on your loved ones heart. Not to mention, you’ll activate your creative side and challenge yourself to try something new.

The best part is: You don’t even need a sewing machine to get started.

“Quilts can be made by hand, but they take a while. It is a wonderful art form that is slowly fading away. Nevertheless, quilting is a wonderful stress relieving art form,” says Pearson.
