Episode 86: In Which We Go on the Road 4-6-12
I just came back from a road trip to North Carolina State University to see the "Textiles of Exile" exhibit at the Gregg Museum. In this episode, I describe my experience seeing works of textile art created by immigrants, refugees, and displaced persons. Incredible. Also in this episode: The winner of the drawing for the hand-dyed embellishments and pattern from quilt teacher Karen Lee Carter; listener feedback; Sandy Update, and more information on the Two Year Podcastaversary month of giveaways!
