HOW TO HOLD QUILTS LOOSELY with quilt advocate Roderick Kiracofe
I’m convinced that Roderick Kiracofe is one part human being and one part guardian angel. He’s been a huge support both of me and many other quilters out there, generously lending his experience and insight that only come from the decades he’s spent as an advocate for quilts.
On a recent trip to NYC, he and I caught up at Tatter’s Blue Library to immerse ourselves in Brooklyn’s beautiful textile research space and the all the shades of blueness. We cozy up on a big blue couch in the corner of the library for this conversation and we had to pass the mic back and forth, so you may notice some scuffles from time to time, but to me it all adds to the intimacy of the conversation you’re about to hear.
In this conversation, we talk about:
① first quilt encounters
② how quilts helps us connect with ourselves and others
③ what anonymous quilts and anonymous photographs have in common
