In this episode, we’re joined by Beth Donaldson—quiltmaker, author, and Associate Director of The Quilt Index, an online archive preserving the stories and artistry of quilts. From making her first quilt in 1974 to helping build a digital archive with over 96,000 quilt entries, Beth shares her fascinating journey through quilt guilds, retreats, and academia. She also reveals how Rosa Parks and Susan B. Anthony are tied to quilting, what makes the Quilt Index unique, and how listeners can contribute to this remarkable living history. It’s a deep dive into the fabric of quilting’s past, present, and future.
