(10:10) The movie How to Make an American Quilt was a springboard for her ambitions, hear the story here…it was all about community!

He co-founded the Quilt Digest and has been actively involved in the creation of some of America's most important private and corporate quilt collections. He has curated exhibitions in the United States and overseas.

Young lovers seek perfection. Old lovers learn the art of sewing shreds together and of seeing beauty in a multiplicity of podcast ramblings. In this Ramblin episode, we thread together the connecting stories of Jocelyn Moorhouse's HOW TO MAKE AN AMERICAN QUILT, the 1995 adaptation of Whitney Otto's novel, described by Amazon as a ‘gentle comedy' We'll determine just how gentle it is as we welcome our guest - critic and broadcaster Rihanna Dillon - to become a part of the Ramblin patchwork. We discuss Moorhouse's background and the performances of a stacked cast that includes the likes of Winona Ryder, Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burstyn, Lois Smith, Alfre Woodard, and Maya Angelou. But most importantly, will we find out just how to make an American quilt?

"Young lovers seek perfection. Old lovers learn the art of sewing shreds together and of seeing beauty in a multiplicity of patches." If one grew up in the 90s those defeated souls could not escape the pop culture wisdom that came out of Winona Ryder's dumb mouth. Thankfully a better cast of Maya Angelou, Anne Bancroft, Ellen Bustyn, Lois Smith and Alfre Woodard make up for the slow death march that is Wino Forever. Also Dermot Mulroney is in this. That seems oddly fitting. Kind of like having Winona superfan Dave Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH on to ruin a perfectly good podcast. Enjoy! Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes!

SUMMARY:Our guest is seven-time Grammy nominee and 1997 Best New Artist Grammy winner Paula Cole. She joins us to chat about her early work with Peter Gabriel, her monster hits “Where Have all the Cowboys Gone” and “I Don't Want to Wait,” her work as an instructor for the Berklee College of Music, and her ongoing musical development, including her latest album, American Quilt. PART ONE:Paul and Scott chat about background singers. Or do we call them backing vocalists? Additional vocalists? I'm not sure we really ever settled it.PART TWO:Our in-depth interview with Paula ColeABOUT PAULA COLE:Our guest on this episode of Songcraft is Paula Cole. The 1997 Best New Artist Grammy winner rose to prominence with her self-produced second album, This Fire, which spawned two massive hit singles. “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone,” a Top 10 hit that earned three Grammy nominations, and “I Don't Want to Wait,” which was used as the theme song for the show Dawson's Creek. Subsequent albums explored a range of stylistic ground, earning Cole critical acclaim and an eventual place on the faculty at the Berklee College of Music. She was the first woman in history to earn a Grammy nomination for Producer of the Year with no male collaborators. The BMI Pop Award winner has a total of seven Grammy nominations, and continues to write and release new music. Her most recent album is American Quilt.
Book Vs. Movie: How to Make An American Quilt Whitney Otto's Debut Novel Vs the Winona Ryder MovieThe 90s were an incredible time for what became known as “Chick Lit”--or just books that featured women writers and characters. Whitney Otto's How to Make an American Quilt told the multilayered story of generations of women who are in a quilting group in Grasse, California. Our main protagonist Finn is a graduate student who is engaged to her longtime boyfriend but is experiencing cold feet. The book is a mixture of quilting instructions and the life story of several characters with the many ups and downs of their interpersonal relationships. Everything is discussed from cheating spouses, interracial dating, the ennui of motherhood, and having a parent that disapproves of your life choices. The film is a tour de force of incredible actors from Winona Ryder to Ellen Burstyn to Alfre Woodard. It's sweet, warm, and sexy. It had women behind the scenes and made four times the budget. Yet Hollywood still doesn't produce more of them. Because…show business is sexist. So, between the original story and the 1995 film-which did we prefer? In this ep the Margos discuss:The popularity of the novelStories about women protagonists and why women are attracted to themThe differences between the book and the movieThe cast: Winona Ryder (Finn Dodd,) Anne Bancroft (Glady Joe,) Ellen Burstyn (Hy,) Lois Smith (Sophia Darling older,) Samantha Mathis (young Sophia,) Jean Simmons (Em,) Joanna Going (young Em,) Kate Nelligan (Constance,) Alfred Woodard (Marianne,) Maya Angelou (Anna Neale,) Kate Capshaw (Sally Dodd,) Loren Dean (Preston,) Dermot Mulroney (Sam,) Rip Torn (Arthur Cleary,) and Johnathan Schaech as Leon.

You're here because you love podcasts (or quilting, or both) — we love ‘em too! One of our favorite podcasts is “How Did This Get Made” hosted by the hilarious Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas. It's a podcast about bad movies and good friends. In this episode, we thought it would be fun to do our own riff on HDTGM with a quilty film from 1995, How to Make an American Quilt starring a young Winona Ryder, a bunch of other recognizable faces, and a brief but terrifying appearance by Jared Leto. Here's what we thought.
In this episode Sherri has the pleasure to speak with Jeniffer Swope, curator of the "Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories" exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Jennifer shares information about the exhibition (which is currently up and running now) as well as a publication that can be purchased from the MFA's website. She then shares 8 different quilts that are being featured in the exhibition and speaks on the cultural and historical significance of each quilt. More information on this exhibition can be found below.Show Notes Blog Post: https://www.aquiltinglife.com/2021/10/a-quilting-life-podcast-episode-40-show-notes.html/Under the Tree (Quilt on the Wall): https://tidd.ly/3m4ZCBuPlaza (Quilt on the Table): https://tidd.ly/3prRvkyFabric of a Nation Exhibition Website (Where tickets can be purchased): https://www.mfa.org/exhibition/fabric-of-a-nationFabric of a Nation Publication: https://www.mfa.org/publication/fabric-of-a-nationFabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories InformationQuilts and coverlets, used in North America since the 17th century, have a unique capacity to tell stories. Their tactile making by hand and their traditional use in the home impart deeply personal narratives of their creators, and the many histories they express reveal a complex record of America. Upending expectations about quilt displays—traditionally organized by region, form or motif—Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories is a loosely chronological presentation that is divided into seven thematic sections and incorporates the perspectives of artists, educators, academics and activists.More than 50 works on view include remarkable examples by an under-recognized diversity of artistic hands and minds from the 17th century to today, including female and male, known and unidentified, urban and rural makers; immigrants; and Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian and LGBTQ+ Americans. Standouts include Pictorial Quilt (1895–98), an icon of the MFA's collection and one of only two known surviving quilts by Harriet Powers, an exceptional artist and storyteller born into slavery in 1837, and the recently acquired To God and Truth (2019), a vibrantly colorful and elaborately patterned work by contemporary artist Bisa Butler. While celebrating the artistry and intricacy of quilts and coverlets and the lives they document, the exhibition also invites visitors to consider the complicated legacies ingrained in the fabric of American life.Visit the A Quilting Life YouTube channel for more great video content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmSR-jDR956ATQe30JHX87wEnjoy what you heard?

Songwriter and Grammy-winning producer Paula Cole joins to discuss her new record, American Quilt, featuring new renditions of folk and jazz standards, plus some roots-inspired originals. She'll talk about the album, and what goes into the production and interpretation of classic Americana songs.
The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter joined us to talk about her new album called American Quilt, and why the classic songs she chose for the record are so much a part of our collective musical consciousness.
The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter joined us to talk about her new album called American Quilt, and why the classic songs she chose for the record are so much a part of our collective musical consciousness.
Paula Cole was one of the key figures of the "Lilith Fair Generation" - that class of fantastic female artists like Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin, India Arie, Joan Osbourne, and many more - whose artistry finally got the attention it deserved. Sadly, when the spotlight on Lilith moved on it moved off many of them too. But, Paula has consistently released strong albums ever since and her latest, American Quilt is her doing gorgeous versions of many American spirituals and folk songs from history. Here we talk about the inspiration for it, her time with Peter Gabriel on the Secret World tour, growing old gracefully, social issues, the impact of "I Don't Want to Wait" and the stories behind many of her songs. Enjoy! www.paulacole.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod
"Motherhood, Butterflies And American Quilt" We're so happy to welcome back Paula Cole to the podcast. The Massachusetts-born singer/songwriter is one of our favorite guests and in this chat she talks about maternal responsibility, baby butterflies and her fabulous new album American Quilt. The Grammy Award-winning musician is about to head back on the road to support American Quilt and she discusses what that experience feels like as we crawl slowly out of pandemic restrictions. A singer of tremendous muscle and grace, Cole is a riveting and stirring performer and she talks about what it means to hit the road at this stage of her 30+year career. A conversation about nurturing, Joni Mitchell and aging parents, Paula Cole's return to Stereo Embers The Podcast is thoughtful, funny and deeply moving. www.paulacole.com www.alexgreenonline.com www.bombshellradio.com Alex on Twitter: @emberseditor Alex on Instagram: @emberspodcast Alex's email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com
Rockport's Paula Cole is out now with her 11th album -- American Quilt -- a tapestry of jazz, folk, country covers of some of her musical inspirations. She joins us.
This week on The Hardcore Humanism Podcast we have Grammy Award winning musician, singer, songwriter and producer Paula Cole. You may know Paula from some of her greatest hits such as “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone” and “I Don’t Want To Wait.” And Paula has a new album out May 21st called American Quilt that you can preorder now.One of the most important principles of humanistic psychology is the fundamental value of human beings and the hope that they will self-actualize, meaning that they find their authentic purpose and achieve it. And one of the most important things that we try to do as humanistic therapists is to remove the barriers that interfere with someone finding their authentic self. And unfortunately, a very powerful force that interferes with people pursuing their purpose in life is stereotyping. Over the course of her career and life, Cole has consistently written and spoken out about the harmful effects of sexism in our society. And in our conversation, Cole talks in particular about how sexism has interfered with her ability to find her authentic voice both personally and professionally. Cole explained how she understands and confronts this bias. And one of the things that was really interesting to hear about was what Paula refers to as her “jazz self.” And that is something that is a deep and enduring yearning to be improvisational. It is a drive to explore new forms of expression and ways of looking at the world. It’s the exact opposite of the limits that stereotypes and bias have put on her. And if we can take a cue from our favorite artists like Cole and think about how we can be open-minded and creative in our own life, we can challenge the biases that others have for us as we shatter barriers and pursue our purpose in life.*****Newsletter: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/GBmf0iU/HardcoreHumanismSignUpInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hardcorehumanism/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HardcoreHumanism/Twitter: https://twitter.com/hardcorhumanismLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hardcore-humanism
It’s not often you hear the expression, “quilting world flash bang” but that’s exactly how we would describe Michael C Thorpe. An outlier in the quilting world, Thorpe has made a splash in the medium by weaving in his identity as a black man, his dreams about his family and his own manner of painting with fabric and thread. He and MacKenzie talk about the Gees Bend quilters, and how quilting makes beauty out of discarded items. Stick around for an insight into the AIDS quilt with organizer, Ted Kerr. And finally, a very special guest.
We’ve got actor, writer, director, producer Jillian Armenante on the show today, ay, now that’s amore. You Might Know Her From Judging Amy, Vice, North Country, Kittens in a Cage, Bad Teacher, Fresh Off the Boat, and Girl, Interrupted. We go in deep with Jillian about being the comic relief on a CBS courtroom drama (Judging Amy) and how that differs from being on a bonafide sitcom like Fresh Off the Boat. Jillian talked to us about her theatre roots in Seattle, the stage adaptation of The Cider House Rules that earned her a Drama Desk nom and a career in Hollywood, and what it’s like to come into the machine as an already out LGBTQ+ actor. We also got into the sisterhoods on the sets of both Girl, Interrupted (where she ran in a crowd with Clea DuVall and bff Angelina Jolie) and North Country (where she bonded with Michelle Monaghan, and Charlize Theron had them top off their whiskey shots with her breast milk). All that plus Jillian gives us some old Hollywood lesbian gossip and talks to us about acting in The Dark Knight without knowing her co-star’s lines. We are just giddy from this one. Enjoy!

What's new for Calamity Jayne and Roxy this week as they continue to learn more about writing a screenplay. Join the discussion as they consider different ways to join the stories of three women spanning multiple generations. Weigh in on the Facebook group with your favorite movies about women! And if you haven't seen the following movies, CJ and Roxy recommend you add them to your must see list! 1) Thelma and Louise 2) The Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood 3) How to Make an American Quilt.
There is so much to learn about the tips and tricks to telling a great story! CJ and Roxy talk about last week and the lessons learned about being screenplay writers. They also play with ideas about the best way to adapt the book to the screenplay. As they've learned so far, their favorite movies did not necessarily follow the rules and possibly for that reason alone, captured audiences in a different and meaningful way. Homework for CJ this week includes taking the ten initial scenes and challenging the cliches' that are commonly a trap for new writers. What is a more interesting and unusual way to create a particular scene without falling into the seen it before trap? Roxy is on vacation and plans to read the screenplay for How to Make an American Quilt poolside!

Snitches get stitches, but in this episode, we will see that secret-keepers like Kirsten get full hand-sewn quilts. Book four brings us straight into Gemini season, and plot twists and literal twisters abound. As the family makes plans for both a new barn and a new baby, Kirsten struggles with intense FOMO when new chores demand her attention. While Kirsten believes that her cousins/friends are making a quilt for their beloved teacher, they are in fact stitching together a special surprise for her double digit day. If flower crowns, barn raisings, and mid-19th century birthday parties (hello George Washington) sound like a good time to you, grab a cozy quilt and settle in. And if that doesn't sell it, this episode also includes a discussion of early aughts prairie living, settlement house reality shows, and a connection between Kirsten and the Kardashians.Visit our merch store!

Coming off of two successive Oscar nominations, Winona Ryder led an immaculate female ensemble for Jocelyn Moorhouse’s How to Make an American Quilt. But instead of furthering Ryder’s mounting Oscar narrative, the film wound up as a surprise SAG Ensemble nominee – and, as Joe and Chris argue, a welcome one. This week, we take … Continue reading "031 – How to Make an American Quilt"

Rachel May's new book, An American Quilt, has an innocuous enough title, invoking an innocent American pastime. But sometimes ugly secrets can be hidden in the stitchwork—or even, as in the case of the quilt at the heart of May’s book, behind it. The paper-pieced quilt was stitched together from fabric basted onto hexagon-shaped paper templates. These scraps, which turned out to be letters and documents dating all the way back to 1798, tie together one family from the abolitionist North and one from the slave-owning South. This paper trail led May to stitch together the stories of the women behind the quilt, enslaved and free. In the process, she shows how dependent the “free” North was on the enslaved labor of its southern neighbor.Go beyond the episode:Rachel May’s An American Quilt: Unfolding a Story of Family and SlaveryFor a peek at the global history of the stuff quilts are made of, read an excerpt from Sven Beckert’s Empire of CottonPeruse the National Museum of American History’s extensive National Quilt CollectionThe National Park Service offers a brief visual history of quilting in America, with a special focus on quilting in the WestThe Library of Congress has oral recordings with Appalachian quiltmakers, who discuss the social history of quiltingThe Whitney Museum’s 1971 exhibition of “Abstract Design in American Quilts” ignited our contemporary quilting renaissance.

Amanda and Jenn discuss Asian sci-fi, books about mental illness, starter graphic novels, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong and Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero. Questions 1. I have never read a graphic novel but am excited to get into them. However I really am just not into fantasy or sci fi. Where should I start? Thank you! --Sara 2. Hi, I am looking for science fiction set in Asia by Asian writers for my bookclub and to read something in the vein of #ownvoices. I would prefer it not to be YA, but it is not a requirement. I tend to like science fiction with great characters over great science. --Sidsel 3. Hey Jenn and Amanda, I've been thinking and don't know how I missed this in my reading life. But some of my favorite movies are multi-generational female-lead stories that jump back and forth in their timelines. Examples are movies like Fried Green Tomatoes, How to Make an American Quilt, and Now and Then. Please help correct this 90's kid's need for some lady-friendships books. --Teenie 4. I recently read The Vegetarian and I found it absolutely incredible. I have made it a mission to try to read other translated books. What are some suggestions you have? Thanks --Ashley 5. Can you please recommend books with characters with mental illness? I recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and it really helps reading about characters that go through similar experiences. I read 'It's kind of a funny story' 'The rest of us just live here' and 'All the bright places'. I enjoy YA, but I would like to read other genres as well. (I usually like my books as diverse as possible) Thank you for your help! --Theodora 6. You two seem to know a lot about diversity in fiction so I figured I'd ask you two instead of taking my question to google (I figure you both will offer me better quality recs). So I'm a big reader of fantasy. It's always been my favorite, and preferred reading genre. However I'm also a gay man who enjoys reading about gay men (preferably if a romance is involved), so to find that I've pretty much had to go outside the fantasy genre for that one. I'd love it if I could read a (quality) fantasy novel with gay characters, and maybe a little bit of romance. I'm so excited to hear what you two have to recommend, this is my favorite podcast, and I've read so many amazing books because of you two. --Sam 7. I'm trying to get into post apocalyptic books, but don't know where to start. I recently read Station 11, and now I want more. There seems to be no shortage of YA post apocalyptic novels, but I've read several, and so far have not liked any of the ones I have read. I've never NOT liked YA, but I've never been too crazy about it either, so I figure I better look at 'adult' (I'M SO SORRY. I DON'T LIKE CALLING IT THAT EITHER) books of the genre. Thanks so much you two! I can't wait to hear what you two have to recommend. --Chloe 8. I am a sucker for sad books, especially those that revolve around loneliness. The History of Love, Everything I Never Told You, and Oryx and Crake (is that an odd third?) were all fantastically devastating for me. I am looking for recommendations that will send me to that despairing place in the company of the fictional. --Sasha Books Discussed The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland Isaac’s Storm by Erik Larson March, Book 1 by John Lewis This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki Invisible Planets, edited by Ken Liu The Sea Is Ours, edited by Jaymee Goh and Joyce Chng The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan Mama Day by Gloria Naylor Penance by Kanae Minato, translated by Philip Gabriel The Queue by Basma Abdel Aziz, translated by Elisabeth Jaquette Haldol and Hyacinths by Melody Moezzi Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh Captive Prince by CS Pacat Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker Borne by Jeff VanderMeer Shelter by Jung Yun A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing by Eimear McBride
In our second episode of Finding Her Voice we talk about the 1995 film How to Make an American Quilt starring Winona Ryder and directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse. We can't say we loved the ending of the film but it prompts discussions about the classic film canon and expectations for female filmmakers. Also, quick note. I am an idiot and said Things We Lost in The Fire was directed by Claire Denis when, in fact, it's Susanne Bier. I have no idea why that slip up happened. Make sure to subscribe and like us at @tyfoffical. We are also on Facebook and Instagram. Return next month where we'll talk about Mira Nair's The Namesake and other male coming of age films from the female perspective. TheYoungFolks.com
In this episode of the CrapTastiCast the guys gathered in Brooklyn and actually talked a little about Buffalo sports! The first segment includes discussions about the Bills this pre-season and how our high hopes may not be as high as we originally thought. The Yachtsman also takes some not so subtle potshots at a certain fan organization. Later in the segment there is a very heated argument about the Shane Doan contract offer that eventually turns into front office and coach bashing.The second segment belongs solely to the Apologist, as he recounts step-by-step his encounter with some NYC youths recently in the streets at 3:30 AM. Yup, he got mugged. We took this opportunity to make him tell us the entire story. FUN!The final segment is mostly a recap of Watkins Glen, which you may have noticed we didn't have a roadcast CrapTastiCast from. We explain. Musical breaks are from Pantera, M.O.P., and close friend of the podcast, Dr. Ooo.
Works for voice and piano performed by baritone Randall Scarlata, soprano Jennifer Aylmer, and pianists Jeremy Denk and Laura Ward.Ives: Selected SongsTin Pan Alley SelectionsToday’s podcast features a wonderful bouquet of American song—beginning with selection by Charles Ives, and then moving onto works by Tin Pan Alley composers. Though at first blush they may seem like odd bedfellows, it’s important to remember than many of the Tin Pan Alley greats were contemporaries of Ives. The context was certainly different—Ives is often thought of as an under-appreciated (and commercially unsuccessful) pioneer, while the writers on Tin Pan Alley were employed by music publishers, and as such their work was expected to have commercial appeal. But both were masters of their respective domains. We’ll begin with 8 selections by Ives, performed by baritone Randall Scarlata and pianist Jeremy Denk. Ives is a master of setting the scene, of evoking a time and place with just a few minutes of music. He does so here with great skill. Scarlata then joins soprano Jennifer Aylmer and pianist Laura Ward to perform 11 tunes from Tin Pan Alley—some familiar, some less so, but all delightful.
