Quilting in Early China
As I browsed through my articles here at Quilting and Patchwork, I discovered one about quilting and China, The Early History of Quilting in Eqypt and China. It refers to an item in Kaye Woods’ newsletter that mentions:
“The earliest recorded
quilted garment was found on a carved, ivory figure of a pharaoh, dated to
be from around 3400 BC!”
(Since the above post was written nearly two years ago, the link to Kaye’s newsletter for that week isn’t available. Apparently they aren’t archived that far back.)
However, if you have any information about quilting in early China or even present day China, you’re welcome to share it here.
Is there quilting connecting China and the Olympics originating in China?
