Quilting is a versatile craft that is historically rooted in self-expression, protest, and memorialization. Traditionally, quilting is thought to be a feminine practice and has been made in the home. Quilting requires relatively inexpensive materials and no formal training which keeps the practice accessible to community members and individuals of all backgrounds. Because of these traits, quilts are an ideal vehicle to support our individual messages of feminism and chronic illness advocacy. We often say that our quilts are “made with rage”. This supports both of our concepts because we believe that anger is a catalyst for advocacy and change.
