Quilting is a sewing method done to join two or more layers of material together to make a thicker padded material. A quilter is the name given to someone who works at quilting.

The process of quilting uses a needle and thread to join two or more layers of material together to make a quilt. Typical quilting is done with three layers: the top fabric or quilt top, batting or insulating material and backing material. The quilter's hand or sewing machine passes the needle and thread through all layers and then brings the needle back up. The process is repeated across the entire piece where quilting is wanted. A straight or running stitch is commonly used and these stitches can be purely functional or decorative and elaborate. Quilting is done on bed spreads, art quilt wall hangings, clothing, and a variety of textile products. Quilting can make a project thick, or with dense quilting, can raise one area so that another stands out.

Quilting can be done by hand, by sewing machine, or by a spacialist longarm quilting system.

Any quilters or sewing gurus out there know where to find a pattern for a wallet? My wife is an avid quilter?
Q. I am looking for a good place that might have a large selection of patterns for wallets that you would sew yourself. My wife is a quilter and wants to make a quilted wallet of her own- she has seen other women with them, but cannot find it in the store (i.e. JoAnns Fabrics, local quilting shops) Could anyone direct me in the right direction? We would love it if there is a free pattern on the web, but if you know of a pattern in print in a catalogue or magazine, that would be great as well! Thanks.

A. Get this book for her - She needs nothing more than basic sewing supplies. She can sew by hand or by machine. I prefer the sewing machine - others may prefer hand sewing. There are sites for beginners that are also helpful. This one is for a sampler quilt, which is variety of blocks & includes supplies needed - All the supplies needed are available in fabric stores.
