HOW TO MAKE MEMORIES with improv quilter Sherri Lynn Wood
from SEAMSIDE: Exploring the Inner Work of Textiles · host Zak Foster
If Sherri Lynn Wood and I were to map our lives on a venn diagram, there’d be a lot of overlap: we both spent parts of our childhood in North Carolina, we both host online communities for quilters (mine is the QUILTY NOOK, hers is BravePatch.School); we both honor elements of quilting as a spiritual practice, and in doing so, we both work a lot with grief and bereavement. The quilts may go by different names: I make memory quilts, Sherri makes passage quilts, but they both point to the stories and energy that our clothes contain even after we pass.In this conversation, Sherri and I take a deep dive on what it means to work with clothing as a channel for processing life and loss, and we discuss: ① the emotional aspects of working with clothing in quilts ② practical ideas for collaborating on a memory quilt ③ self-care for quilters doing grief work ⤷ Learn more about THE QUILTY NOOK here ⤷ Get your free NOOK trial here⤷ Enter here for your chance to win a FREE YEAR on the NOOK!
