About this episode
This episode tells the story of a woman whose life was intertwined with quilting, exploring themes of community and legacy.
This episode is different—and I think it might be one of my favorites! It's a story that is best heard in a cozy place where your mind can feel safe to wander and imagine all the things you hear. It's the story of a woman who grew up in times past and how the life she lived always included quilting. At the end of this episode, I tell you who this woman is. I think you'll want to stay for it. This Episode Explores: What it looked like to build a life by hand How a simple quilt kit shared between sisters grew into decades of quilting community The Sunshine Quilters: their history, their quilt shows, and what they built together How one family's decision to honor a legacy changed everything Why quilting is, and has always been, a way of saying I love you in stitches Resources: Use code REVIVAL for 15% off at www.patchworkrevivalstudios.com Subscribe to the Patchwork Revival Podcast for weekly episodes on quilting tradition, history, and legacy.
