Threads of Love in Malang • In my small corner of Malang, where the air smells like rain and the sound of motorbikes fill the streets, quilting found me in the most unexpected way. It wasn’t something passed down in my family—no grandmothers with nimble fingers and stacks of fabric, no old sewing machine sitting in the corner waiting to be used. My mother was always busy with work, my father with his own struggles, and I grew up thinking that making something with my hands was a skill I would never have.
