Narrative Quilts

Narrative quilts are textile artworks that tell a story through a carefully arranged series of fabric pieces, images, and techniques. They combine visual elements and symbolism to convey a message, history, or personal experience. Using sewing, applique, and stitching, artists create scenes or motifs that guide viewers through a specific narrative, turning a quilt into a visual storybook. These quilts often reflect cultural, social, or personal themes, making them both artistic creations and means of storytelling woven into fabric.
