My hobby is quilting, which involves sewing layers of fabric together to make a material that is padded and thicker. 
How did you learn to do that? I bet they are beautiful.
My mom taught me. I have made bed spreads and various wall hangings over the years. 
How much time does it take for you to make them?
It can take months when I'm doing the quilting by hand. You can also use a sewing machine, which is much faster!
I bet it is very time consuming.  Does it take a special type of sewing machine?
I just have a regular old sewing machine. You can get something called a longarm sewing machine, which is industrial length and much faster.
I've never heard of that kind.  What type of fabric do you use?
Quilting
Quilting is the process of sewing two or more layers of fabric together to make a thicker padded material, usually to create a quilt or quilted garment. Typically, quilting is done with three layers: the top fabric or quilt top, batting or insulating material and backing material, but many different styles are adopted.
The process of quilting uses a needle and thread to join two or more layers of material to make a quilt. The quilter's hand or sewing machine passes the needle and thread through all layers

The process of quilting uses a needle and thread to join two or more layers of material to make a quilt. The quilter's hand or sewing machine passes the needle and thread through all layers and then brings the needle back up. The process is repeated across the entire area where quilting is wanted.
