Because quilting (and other needlework) has been associated throughout history with women, it was not until the advancement of the Women's Movement and Feminism of the late 19th and 20th Centuries that quilting could be recognized as a form of true art. The modern media, including color photography, well-produced magazines, and televised documentaries and classes on quilting also focused attention and appreciation on the art. The American Bicentennial celebrations in 1976 also brought significant attention to the tradition of American Quilting and was key to promoting the quilting revival.
The origins of quilting are unknown; quilting has been around for thousands of years. The earliest known depictions of quilting is on an ancient Egyptian statue, dated 3400 B.C.
Trapunto is a technique of adding extra dimension to quilting and applique by stuffing certain areas of the quilt. An additional layer of batting may be used or yarn may be threaded into channels of quilting for a raised look.
