What Is Patchwork?
Patchwork is a combination of pieces of fabrics which are cut according to the colour harmony and the design planned before.
Although forms vary depending on the countries and cultures, it is a way to express one’s own self to the world with the help of different fabrics. For us, patchwork is a therapy through art. It teaches to get the utmost pleasure of the process without aiming the results, making the person patient, tolerant and more adaptable both to herself and others.
Patchwork In Turkey
Patchwork is a handicraft which has not been taken into consideration since several years in Turkey. Previously, it was a traditional sign of good luck in Anatolia for a long period of time. Young girls who were close to the age of marriage collected different fabrics from 40 happily married ladies to form a quilt to give them also good luck to find the proper husband to get happily married.
