From the day after Thanksgiving until December 24, people all over the United States decorate trees, cook festive food, attend religious services, and prepare for Santa’s Christmas Eve visit. Customs linked to the past and many countries are often observed in combination with secular and Christian traditions unique to this country. Still, the common denominator of American Christmases is the celebration of peace, goodwill, and family togetherness. The robe that this Santa wears illustrates the basic elements of American quilting. This centuries-old skill has existed in many cultures, but its practice in America has evolved into an art form. From the utilitarian quilts of the early 1700s to the artistic masterpieces of today, American quilting has satisfied the practical, creative, and social needs of its artisans.
