Patchwork is an art, dating from the beginning of civilization, which consists of assembling several pieces of fabric to form a single piece.
The oldest patchworks come from ancient Egypt or India. It appears in the United States from the 17th century where it will be used to repair clothes, sheets, or even sackcloth.
It is such a neat and refined technique that in the 19th century, several patchwork works were passed on as heritage, along with other precious objects.
In France, patchwork became more democratic only in 1970 when, in addition to being a useful and economical process, it also became artistic and decorative.
