Patchwork has born in America with the arrival of the pioneers, the women used to recycle old scraps and clothes to make some warm covers for the winter. The assemblage technique gradually grew up until becoming national art in America. In Italy this technique is not so popular like in USA, but in the last years it seems that the interest for patchwork and quilting is growing, thanks to magazines and reviews of feminine works.
