Hello, friends, and happy Monday! Today I’m sharing the A Quilting Life Podcast Episode 40 Show Notes. This episode was a true treat, as I was able to speak with the curator of the recently opened Boston Museum of Fine Arts exhibit The Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories. I truly enjoyed the in-depth discussion about several of the exhibit quilts. I truly felt a little bit like when I was sitting in my Art History class at college. There were so many interesting things I learned. We hope you’ll enjoy today’s episode!
A Quilting Life Podcast Episode 40 Summary
Exhibit curator Jennifer Swope shares fascinating details about 9 of the exhibit quilts. Jennifer is a master storyteller, and you’ll love hearing about the background of the exhibit, details about many of the artists and makers, and stories about the quilts. This exhibit is now open to the public and will remain open through January 17, 2022. I’ve shared just two quilt photos in today’s post; however, you can see all of the quilts we discuss during the podcast in the YouTube video.

When will the next podcast air? I think the date may have been. Missed at the time of publishing the blog post. I really look forward to your podcast as it is one that helps me get through my long runs. I hope the next one releases soon. Thanks for all the work you put into this.
