Episode 7: The Healing Properties of Memory Quilts From Re-Purposed Clothing

Send us Fan MailMemory quilts and t-shirt quilts are loving gifts for the receiver, but the maker often gets just as much out of the process. That certainly is the case with Cathy Saul who has been making memory quilts for people as well as for donations for many years. We talk about re-purposing sewing machine cabinets, up-cycling clothing and the process of making her special quilts. We also have an intimate conversation about mothers, loved ones, and how quilts can have a healing effect on loss. The book Cathy mentioned in our talk is The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan BradleyCathy Saul is a quilter by day, public speaker by nature, autism clinician by training, and musician by aspiration. She loves to make useful things from scraps and she has a passion for memory quilts and restoring vintage quilts.
