Episode 69—The Pacific Northwest Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum

Episode 69—The Pacific Northwest Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum

By the time this episode drops, I’ll be on my way to Sew Expo in Puyallup, Washington, to teach five knitting classes and a sewing class. In this episode, I sit down to chat with Morgan Kavanagh, one of the staff members at the Pacific Northwest Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum. The museum is currently hosting the Red Dress Project, which is a gown that traveled the world for several years while various artists added their voices to it in the form of embroidery. We also talk about the educational programs and what’s coming next for the museum.
