Altındağ Municipality supports the professional and personal development of women and protects traditional handicrafts. Women who want to have a profession are doing great things in the courses opened at Altındağ Municipality Women's Education and Culture Centers. One of these jobs is quilt making... Women who attend the "Traditional Quilt Making" course opened in the centers not only contribute to the home economy by selling wool quilts, which are indispensable for dowry, but also cure the winter cold. The “Traditional Quilting” course attracts great interest from the women of Altındağ.
“I THANK OUR PRESIDENT, MR. VEYSEL TİRYAKİ”
Expressing her satisfaction with the course, trainee Türkan Seçir (51) emphasized that wool quilts are more beneficial for health. Seçir said, "I sell quilts to order. I meet the needs of my home with the earnings I earn. There is a very nice environment in the course, our dialogue with people increases. I am very pleased with the quilt course. After starting the course, I could not stay at home." 
Another trainee, Saliha Acar (60), said that the course was like therapy for her. Expressing her interest in sewing, Acar said, "I have manual skills in sewing. I prepared the items in my dowry myself. I love dealing with wool. The course feels like therapy to me, it relieves stress. I sell quilts upon order. I prefer flower and diamond pattern motifs. I would like to thank Altındağ Municipality and our Mayor, Mr. Veysel Tiryaki, for providing us with this opportunity." 
“WOMEN FROM ALTİNGAĞ ARE INTERESTED IN THE COURSE”
Master instructor Şaziye İnkaya, who stated that she had 20 trainees in the traditional quilt making course, explained the quilt making process with the following words: 
"First, we wash and shred the wool. We start the training by sewing a baby quilt. We put fiber into the satin. Those with allergies can choose fiber, fiber is easier to sew... There are also those who want to sew cotton, but cotton is the most difficult material to sew. We generally prefer wool in quilt making. We mostly use flower motifs. In green quilts, the leaf model is among our preferences. Quilts never go out of fashion. Duvets are needed in every home and in every girl's dowry... When the weather gets cold Their value is understood even better. Wool quilts do not make you sweat in summer, they do not catch cold in winter, they are very beneficial for your health... Women from Altındağ show great interest in our course. We are very happy to see that some of our trainees who sell their quilts have bought cars, gone on Umrah and realized many of their dreams.”
“WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT WOMEN”
Stating that they are proud of the achievements of Altındağ women, Altındağ Mayor Dr. Veysel Tiryaki said, "We take care to open courses for vocational training in our Women's Education and Culture Centers. On the other hand, we protect our traditional handicrafts. Many women who attend these courses become professionals and become their own bosses. We make great efforts to bring women from Altındağ to employment. As the municipality, we will support all women who want to participate in business life. We will continue to support women who want to stand on their own feet." 
Congratulating the women from Altındağ who attended the traditional quilting course, Mayor Tiryaki said, "The value of wool quilts is better understood in winter. I invite everyone to support the handicrafts of women from Altındağ and buy quilts from our women in order not to get cold in the winter months."
