Honey, I'm home! I'm back from AQS QuiltWeek in Paducah, KY, and lived to tell about it. More or less. In this episode, I describe my experiences in Paducah, including a meet-up with a listener, scalping tickets to a class, and a conversation with a very nice police officer. Oh, and quilts. Plus I announce the winners of my 3rd Podcastaversary Giveaway, and what's up for the next episode! Thanks for listening!

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!
