Sustainable quilting is catching on the world over. In the Netherlands,  another sustainable quilter - Rianne Doller from Kick-Ass Quilts and I talk about the motivation behind her sustainable quilting projects and some of the people she has helped already.

Rianne Doller is also know as The Sustainable Quilter in the Netherlands (there's room for all of us!). With Kick Ass Quilts, she teaches and inspires people to up-cycle old textiles into new quilts. They are also a movement for a welcome, sustainable, world for everyone with the magic of quilts through joy, connection, mindfulness and sustainability! Societies trash will be their treasure.
