Ep. 140 - Sally Jessy Raphael's Quilt Love + More Gorgeous Quilts on a Saturday Night!

We dive into the Sally Jesse Raphael quilt collection along with a SJR interview in which she is quoted as saying “Quilting has been the history lives and their fears.” We peek at some more images of the Esprit collection. 1980s press photos of Penny McMorris and Rod Kiracofe make an appearance. Mary discovers the joy of live streaming from a pocket. Ed Larson’s work makes an appearance featuring the sage words of “avoid fried meats.”

In the second part of the show we take a gander at a 1940s art quilt piece from the Phillip Morris collection, Helen Friend’s volacano Hawaiian quilt “In the Beginning”, and Ruth McDowell’s “Cabbage”. Finally we jump ahead to a 1980s strip pieced quilt from Joyce Marquess Carey that skips the batting and goes heavy on the metallic fabric.
