Patchwork embroidery has been in vogue for decades and gained immense popularity during Great Depression, as it was the only method to recycle worn clothing into warm quilts. It is a form of needlework involving, sewing together of small pieces of fabrics and stitching them together to form a larger design or pattern. This embroidery has traditionally been sewn together by hand, but with the change in technology and to cash on the benefits of mass production, it is increasingly being machine sewn.
