Kazakh craftswomen create 155-meter patchwork quilt

Craftswomen from Aktobe created a 155-meter patchwork quilt as a gift for the city’s anniversary. In total, they made 67 two-meter-long kurak korpes, sewn from various colorful fabric pieces. These handicrafts, considered essential home decoration, are adorned with symbols of spring such as tulips, along with various patterns and ornaments. They are planned to be given to Kazakh citizens affected by the flooding.

«Our main goal is to promote the national values of the Kazakh people. We have gathered here to talk about forgotten traditions, the history, and the moral heroism of our ancestors, which will certainly serve as an example for the younger generation,» local historian Raigul Sergaliyeva said.
