Patchwork and quilting as a hobby

Patchwork and quilting are creative textile crafts involving the sewing together of fabric pieces to form decorative or functional items such as blankets, wall hangings, or clothing. Patchwork arranges smaller fabric scraps into patterns, while quilting involves sewing multiple layers—top, batting, and backing—together, often with decorative stitching. These hobbies combine artistic design with sewing skills, allowing for personal expression and craftsmanship. They can be relaxing, social, and historically rich, offering a way to repurpose fabric scraps while creating durable, beautiful textiles.
