Podcasts about Quilt

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. As we close out the year 2025, it's clear that the pharmaceutical and biotech industries have experienced a period of significant transformation. This year has been marked by groundbreaking drug approvals, strategic partnerships, and a focus on innovative therapies that promise to redefine patient care.One of the standout achievements this year comes from GlaxoSmithKline, which received approval from the U.S. FDA for its ultra-long-acting biologic, Exdensur, aimed at treating severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype in adolescents and adults. This approval underscores the growing trend toward personalized medicine and biologics, offering new hope for patients with chronic respiratory conditions by providing more sustainable and personalized treatment options.In the oncology sector, Merck's Keytruda and Astellas Pharma's Padcev have demonstrated significant overall survival benefits when used as perioperative treatments for cisplatin-eligible muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This combination therapy of a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor and an antibody-drug conjugate highlights the evolving landscape of cancer treatment, emphasizing the role of immunotherapy and targeted therapies in improving patient outcomes in challenging cancer subtypes.However, not all developments have been positive. Hansa Biopharma faced challenges with its kidney transplant drug, imlifidase. Despite success in kidney transplant trials, it failed to achieve desired results in treating anti-glomerular basement membrane disease. This serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in drug repurposing efforts within autoimmune diseases.Alnylam Pharmaceuticals announced a significant investment to enhance its Norton, Massachusetts facility into a dedicated site for small interfering RNA (siRNA) production. This move reflects the industry's shift towards RNA-based therapies that offer targeted gene-silencing capabilities and positions Alnylam at the forefront of RNAi therapeutics production.In another promising development, ImmunityBio reported positive data from its QUILT-3.032 study on Anktiva for BCG-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer with high-grade papillary disease. The potential expansion of Anktiva's use reinforces the importance of personalized immunotherapies in oncology.The launch of Ambros Therapeutics with $125 million in Series A funding highlights efforts to develop non-opioid pain medications already approved abroad. This initiative addresses chronic pain management without relying on opioids, potentially advancing analgesic therapies amidst the ongoing opioid crisis.In China, Fosun Pharma's acquisition of a majority stake in Green Valley Pharmaceuticals aims to revive a controversial seaweed-derived Alzheimer's medication. Despite skepticism over its efficacy, this investment signals continued innovation efforts amid growing demand for effective Alzheimer's treatments.Siemens Healthineers' partnership with Alzpath to incorporate pTau-217 antibodies into its Atellica immunoassay platforms marks a significant step forward in Alzheimer's diagnostics. This collaboration aims to enhance biomarker detection capabilities crucial for early diagnosis and intervention strategies in neurodegenerative diseases.On the strategic front, Bristol Myers Squibb entered into a substantial research agreement with Harbour BioMed valued at up to $1.1 billion. This deal underscores Big Pharma's ongoing pursuit of alliances to advance therapeutic pipelines and antibody technologies.Finally, Cencora's acquisition of OneOncology for $5 billion underscores consolidation trends within specialty practice networks. By valuing OneOncology at $7.4 billion, this acquisition reflects the growing importance of integrated oncology care models and collaborative netSupport the show

This week on Not Your Granny's Quilt Show, I'm joined by the incredibly talented UK quilt and textile collage artist Russell James Barratt. Born in Scotland and now based in London, Russell has spent the last two decades immersed in the world of fashion, costuming, and garment conceptual design. Textiles are in his DNA. His mother and grandmother both ran small sewing and knitting businesses, surrounding Russell with fibers, fabrics, and creativity from the start. His passion for upcycling and reimagining pre-loved clothing eventually led him to a professional career in fashion, where his bold, repurposed garments caught attention everywhere he went. Today, Russell brings that same sense of play, texture, and innovation to his quilting and textile collage work. As an Aurifil Artisan, he's been experimenting with thread in exciting new ways, and giving new perspectives on how we view textiles. Follow Russell's stunning work on Instagram at @russelljbarratt, and enjoy this inspiring conversation with an artist who's truly one to watch! Want to see more?

Today, Gary Tyler is a renowned fiber artist and activist. But he was once the youngest person on death row in the U.S., a man unjustly incarcerated at just age 17. He talks with World Economic Forum video producer Kateryna Gordiychuk about how his experience in prison introduced him to the medium and shapes his creative expression. While incarcerated, during the AIDs epidemic, Gary worked as a volunteer in one of the first prison hospice programs in the country. The need to fund the program led Gary to learn quilting to help raise money that could aid both the dying men and their families who wouldn't be able to travel to see their loved ones otherwise. The experience drove home for Gary the need for mercy and advocacy in systems where people cannot advocate for themselves. Today, his art explores themes of freedom and individuality and he speaks frequently on the contributions any individual can make, regardless of their circumstance. This interview was recorded at the Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland January 2025.

Whether you need a calm reset after a long day or a lullaby for restless nights, this episode aims to cradle you into deeper, more peaceful sleep.Take a moment each night to press play, breathe slowly, and allow the rain to carry your thoughts away.

What if you could tour with just what fits in a single dry bag? No panniers. Just the essentials. On this episode, we take this as a challenge - borrowing from the ultralight backpacking folks, we cut off our toothbrush handles and weigh every gram for the ultralight bikepacking challenge! "What if you could tour with just what fits in your handlebar bag? No panniers. No rack. Just the essentials." Why: curiosity, simplicity, nimble handling, testing limits for overnighters or credit card touring. Rules: one mid-size drybag (say 10–12L). No extra frame or seat bags. Trip assumptions: 1–2 nights, shoulder season, mild weather but possible cool nights. Riding style: paved/mixed surfaces, moderate daily mileage. Shelter Options to debate: Tarp + bivy sack (light, cheap, minimal bug protection). Minimal trekking pole tarp (if you carry a pole or can use the bike). Emergency bivy + bug net (super small but spartan). UL single-wall tent (if you can compress to fit — ~1lb tents exist). Hammock Where I land: Shelter Zpacks Hexamid Pocket Tarp 5.2 oz Dyneema, no floor; packs to fist size Groundsheet Polycryo sheet (cut to size) 1.5 oz Cheap and super compact Bug Net Sea to Summit Nano Pyramid (solo) 2.9 oz Optional if mosquitoes likely Stakes 6 titanium shepherd hooks 2 oz Can share with tarp Guyline 2 mm reflective cord 1 oz Multipurpose (also for repairs) Total Shelter Weight: ~12 oz (340 g) Sleep Kit Pad: short closed-cell foam (Z-lite cut down) vs ultralight inflatable (NeoAir Uberlite). Quilt: 40°F down quilt packs to a grapefruit. Sleep Clothing layering: puffy jacket + base layers to extend quilt rating. pillow (there are some ultralight inflatables too) Where I land: Sleep Pad Therm-a-Rest NeoAir UberLite (small) 6 oz Packs smaller than a soda can Quilt Enlightened Equipment Enigma 40°F 13 oz Compresses to a grapefruit Pillow Exped Air UL pillow (small) 1.6 oz Optional luxury Sleep Clothes Lightweight merino top + boxer briefs 6 oz Doubles as camp wear Total Sleep Weight: ~27 oz (765 g) Cooking vs. No-Cook No-cook: bars, wraps, cold soak jar. Minimal cook: Esbit/solid fuel stove + titanium mug. Coffee strategy: instant packets vs small UL brewer. Space/weight trade-off: ditch cook kit for luxury (camera, extra clothes). Where I land: Cold Soak System Plastic PB jar 2oz Utensil Long Ti spoon 0.5 oz Mug (if separate) MSR Titan 2.4 oz Food for 2 days Wraps, instant oatmeal, nuts, bars, jerky, instant coffee ~24 oz Water 1 L Smartwater bottle (frame-mounted) Total Cooking/Food Weight (excluding water): ~29 oz (820 g) Clothing & Tools No change of clothes on this one… one base layer, puffy jacket layer. Rain shell = big payoff for little space. Simple wool hat Micro tool kit: multi-tool, chain link, tiny pump, patch kit instead of spare tube. hygiene: Dr Bronner's in smallest travel bottle, small camp towel, travel toothbrush. Where I land: Rain Shell Patagonia Houdini or OR Helium 6 oz Ultralight but reliable Insulation Layer Montbell Plasma 1000 puffy 5 oz Packs to palm size Extra Base Layer / socks Wool top + socks 5 oz For camp Toiletries Toothbrush, mini paste, Bronner's, wet wipes 3 oz Minimalist hygiene Headlamp Nitecore NU25 1 oz USB rechargeable Total Clothing/Personal Weight: ~20 oz (570 g) Multitool Lezyne RAP II-12 3 oz Compact essentials Mini Pump Lezyne Pocket Drive 3 oz Mount to frame if possible Chain link / tape / zip ties / patch kit Small zip bag 1 oz Field repairs Phone + powerbank 10 000 mAh Anker 6 oz Also powers headlamp Map / ID / Credit Card — negligible "Ultralight credit card touring" insurance Total Tools/Misc Weight: ~13 oz (370 g) Packing Tetris Bottom: sleep system (quilt/compressed pad). Middle: shelter/tarp. Top: food/clothing. Outside: light rain shell/camp shoes? Safety & Bail Out Options Emergency bail plan: credit card, rideshare, motel. Weather veto: if forecast turns ugly, change trip. My Packed Total Category Weight Shelter 12 oz Sleep 27 oz Cooking/Food 29 oz Clothing/Personal 20 oz Tools/Misc 13 oz Total ~6.31 lb (2.86 kg) inside dry bag Conclusion Who this works for: weekenders, credit card tourists, fair-weather minimalists. Who it doesn't: long winter trips, remote routes with no services, the comfort-oriented The psychological side of going this minimal: what you gain (freedom, simplicity) vs. what you lose (comfort, margin).

Episode Title: Relaxing for Sleep: Warm Quilt StormDescription: Drift into a cozy, restful sleep with our guided soundscape, Warm Quilt Storm. In this episode we blend gentle thunder, soft rainfall, and a slow, comforting narration to recreate the feeling of being wrapped in a warm quilt while a distant storm hums you to sleep. Use this episode as a nightly ritual to slow your breathing, release tension, and ease into deeper rest. Ideal for bedtime, naps, or any moment you need a calm reset.Tips for best results:Find a comfortable position and dim the lights.Use headphones for a more immersive experience.Let your breath follow the rhythm of the sound—inhale slowly, exhale fully.If you wake during the night, replay the episode to help you settle back to sleep.Take a few minutes for yourself each night—these small rituals build better rest and steadier calm over time.Join us next time for another soothing soundscape and relaxation practice.=======DISCLAIMER

James records on a rare Wednesday afternoon, still buzzing from a one-off show at Hampton Brewing Company where he ditched the set and improvised for an hour. He talks about the strange freedom of those nights when the room, the venue, and the vibe let you try anything. From there, it is classic Mullinger: the touring life health cycle (YMCA laps, sit-ups, trainer Tara, then peanuts and New Brunswick beer), a small-world tale about Teddy's teacher in London, and a proper date night with Pam to see the Colleen Hoover adaptation Regretting You.James celebrates local author Riel Nason's bestselling book The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt and its new winter sequel after a packed Quispamsis library event. He reviews The Toxic Avenger remake and its campaign to retire medical debt, riffs on scams and casino bans, and vents about Dana White after Tom Aspinall's eye-poke fiasco. There is quick-fire commentary on The Diplomat season three, the John Candy documentary, and why negative comments can be useful if you let them.Plus: Horizon Healthcare Ambassadors, the Romero House fundraiser, unplanned shows coming to Saint John's BMO and Fredericton's The Comic Sutra, NBCC campus dates, BC tour stops, and a call for small theatres in Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Saskatchewan. James also shouts out artists who price fairly, from Stewart Lee to Luke Combs, and asks listeners to send coping strategies for compartmentalizing, along with spicy but humane pop-culture hot takes.Please send any questions to comedy@jamesmullinger.comFor podcast sponsorship opportunities, please email Jonathan Burns at info@podstarter.ioProduced by Podstarter

This class was especially meaningful to me as I have been following Kaffe Fassett since the 1980s when I was yet a novice knitter. To be able to meet him in person some 40 years later—as a quilter—was an experience not to be missed. Show notes for each episode: www.thestraightstitchpodcast.comMy website: www.janetszabo.comSee my sewing projects at: www.janetszabo.com/blogE-mail me! janet@janetszabo.com

For this special episode, I've quilted together 21 narratives from the descendants of Jesse Strange the Elder on Saturday, June 28th. When I first started, I just pulled everyone who'd come early to set up field day activities for the kids and light snacks. As the day progressed, I ensnared more descendants. The changing background sounds add texture of bringing the present to the narratives as family reminisce about the past.

Our guest today is Phyllis Elmore, a remarkable woman whose story is as unforgettable as the quilts that helped shape her life.Phyllis is the author of Quilt of Souls, a powerful and deeply personal memoir that has touched readers across the country. Born in the Detroit and raised by her grandmother Lula in rural Alabama, Phyllis found herself immersed in a world of deep wisdom, quiet strength, and generational resilience. It was there, surrounded by women who stitched their pain, perseverance, and history into quilts, that Phyllis discovered healing—and the true meaning of family.In 1973, Phyllis joined the United States Air Force and was one of the first female Aircraft Pneudraulic Specialist for the B-52 Bomber. After leaving the Air Force she attended the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sociology.  In 2001, she joined the Army National Guard as an active-duty guard member. It's also noteworthy to mention that Phyllis was one of only a handful of women in the military who served in three major military conflicts including the Vietnam Era where she served a temporary duty assignment to Vietnam before the 1975 fall of Saigon.  She was also deployed to Saudi Arabia as a member of Operation Desert Storm, and in December 2003 as a member of the Army National Guard where she was deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.In her civilian career she worked as a counselor for incarcerated youth and for women who were victims of domestic violence. She also spent ten years as a Substance Abuse Counseling Supervisor. In her remarkable book Quilt of Souls, Phyllis shares stories that were nearly lost stories of the Black women who raised children not theirs, who held families together through hardship, and who passed down their heritage through hands that stitched, cooked, comforted, and carried so much.Her writing is rich, lyrical, and full of love—an act of remembrance and a celebration of the strength it takes to keep going, and to keep telling the truth.(3:11) Phyllis recounts being uprooted from Detroit at age four and sent to rural Alabama to live with her grandmother, Lula. She describes the powerful emotional refuge of Lula's quilts—especially one that made her feel truly safe for the first time.(8:03) We get to know Grandmother Lula, an indomitable force who stitched not only quilts but entire communities together. Lula lived to be 105 years old and was threading a needle at 100.(15:55) Phyllis reflects on her return to Detroit as a teen, where she was labeled “incorrigible”—and how those experiences shaped her decision to join the U.S. Air Force.(23:57) After her military service, Phyllis worked as a counselor for incarcerated youth and women facing domestic abuse. Hear how she channeled her life experiences into serving others.(27:30) What inspired Quilt of Souls? Phyllis shares the moment she realized that the stories she carried could—and should—be written down.(30:39) She recalls a particularly poignant story unearthed during her research—one that stuck with her and shaped the book's message.(34:27) Meet Miss Jubilee and hear about the extraordinary quilts and lives Phyllis encountered while researching her memoir.(40:43) Discover the Quilt of Souls Preservation Project and get a preview of Phyllis' upcoming Quilt of Souls Gathering in June 2026.(46:15) Phyllis reveals what she hopes readers take away from Quilt of Souls—and why she believes it's never too late to “right” your story.(51:00) What didn't we ask that she wishes we had? Phyllis gives us a thoughtful answer.(52:10) Want to connect with Phyllis? Visit www.thequiltofsouls.com or email her at thequiltofsouls@yahoo.com.

When the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a death blow in 2022 to federal abortion protections offered by Roe v. Wade, a gruesome patchwork quilt of abortion regulations covered the nation, creating drastic gaps to abortion access from state to state. Three years into this new “normal,” Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams talk about what life is like now that nobody got what they really wanted from the U.S. Supreme Court. Focusing on the impact that confusing abortion laws and vague, ever-changing repro rights restrictions have on patients seeking care, Kelley and Terry frame the present as a prelude to what's possible through religious freedom protections, communal resistance, and effective organizing in the coming years.

✨ Episode Summary: I'm diving into a topic that's close to my heart and essential for long-term success: how to make business friends. We often hear about marketing strategies and growth plans—but what about the relationships behind the scenes? Business friends can offer support, accountability, and even joy in a journey that can sometimes feel isolating. But making those connections isn't always easy.

Recently, I attended a Quilt Fest at the Pioneer Hall in Freeman, South Dakota. There were 155 quilts displayed, and the featured quilter was a 94-year-old resident of the Salem home. Throughout her life, she has been involved in the making of hundreds of quilts, and love has turned the patterns into works of art. As I stood there by the Christmas quilt, the wedding ring quilt, and many others, there were many warm thoughts that flashed through my mind. In the many quilts I have given away in my lifetime, I have included this poem entitled "Warm Thoughts.""Love is a quilt. A quilt is love, both love and quilt should be soft enough to comfort you, bright enough to cheer you, generous enough to enfold you, light enough to let you move freely, strong enough to withstand adversity, durable enough to last a lifetime and given gladly from the heart." Perhaps we can even say that God's love is a quilt - bright enough to cheer you and generous enough to enfold you and comfort you. An unknown author has written these thoughts on "Another Comforter." "Overnight visits to Grandma's house were a whole new world. Grandma turning the crank on the butter churn, kneading yeasty homemade bread, ironing on the board placed between two chairs with a flat iron heated on the old wooden stove. Then bedtime came with the long truck up the stairs, strange noises, dark shadows. But grandma would always say, there's an extra comforter on the foot of the bed. What a haven. Just pull that comforter up over my head, and strange noises were shut out. Lurking shadows disappeared. No bright flashes of lightning could be seen, no cold chill could penetrate its warmth. But most of all, every hand stitched piece of that comforter radiated grandma's love and care. And grandma reminds me of God, not only did he send his son for our redemption, He went one step beyond and sent another comforter, a haven for every need, shelter, for every storm, light for our darkest days, healer of our deepest sorrows, and the warmth of his very own love.” A Quilters Song, "Oh, give me a scrap bag filled to the brim with bright bits and pieces. So according to when I might make a rainbow or some butterfly wings, a mountain, a sunset and number of things, I thank you, dear Lord, and make quilts be your praise for the stitches and patches that brighten my days." Barbara Kraun. More Warm Thoughts: Oh Lord, make the scraps of my life something useful. Stitch into my life your own design and use me as you will.

Episode 388 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Andy Ellner, Founder & CEO of Quilt Health. Yes, there are endless possibilities in terms of the platform shift to AI and how it will disrupt industries, but the one that I'm most excited about is the healthcare industry.  Could there be a great moment to hopefully improve lives and maybe even eradicate diseases or even cure cancer someday?  The future is unknown but these advanced in technology certain give a lot of hope. To tackle these big problems, we need people who are not only the top brilliant minds on this planet, but they also need to be risk takers in terms of building these companies. Andy fits the bill.  Not only is he an MD with top academic credentials, but he's also a serial entrepreneur. And probably the most important quality of Andy is that he comes from a medical family that's passionate about making a difference across the world and that quality is deeply rooted into his mindset as well. His latest company is Quilt Health, a digital health company dedicated to bridging gaps in treatment access for complex diseases. They are focused on sickle cell disease and plan to expand to address other complex conditions.  Quilt Health just announced a $6M seed round of funding led by MaC Venture Capital and Underscore Ventures, with participation from Meridian Street Capital, BoxGroup, Watershed VC, and Coalition Operators. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics like: * Some key lessons learned while building healthcare startups, including the importance of finding the right business model. * Andy's background story including his connection to the Baseball Hall of Fame and his work helping to solve the global HIV pandemic where his learnings from this timeframe have carried over to Quilt Health. * Co-Founding the Harvard Medical School Center for Primary Care. * Starting Firefly Health to address the inefficiencies of primary care with a virtual-first care model. * What led him down the path of starting Quilt Health and their plans for disrupting the industry. * His Minimum Viable Team philosophy and advice around hiring. * What excites him about the potential AI use cases in the healthcare industry. * And so much more.

The way Phyllis Biffle Elmore feels about the quilt that her Grandmother Lula gave her is how I think many quilters hope others feel when we give them a quilt.  With significant history and mesmerizing storytelling Phyllis has written Quilt of Souls transforming oral tradition into a beautifully written document, powerfully presented and preserved for posterity.  She stitches together true tales of racism, sexism, and colorism, but also strength and pride, creating a multigenerational patchwork honoring her family and ancestors. This is the quilt that Phyllis' Grandmother Lula made for Phyllis and a picture of Lula Horn. This was the last quilt that Phyllis' Grandmother Lula made when she was over 100 years old And this quilt Phyllis calls it Smokey Quilt.  It was in a fire but wasn't destroyed.

Old jeans. Worn shirts. Scraps from flour sacks and homemade dresses. Nothing is too humble for a quilt. In BAMPFA's new exhibit “Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California,” quilts tell the story of resilience, family, and cultural continuity. The exhibit highlights the quiltmaking skills that many migrants brought with them in the Second Great Migration from 1940-1970—and passed on to their children and other kin, spurring the creation of a new wave of African American quiltmaking. We'll talk to the curator and a contemporary quiltmaker in Oakland about the exhibit. Guests: Ora Clay, member, African American Quilt Guild of Oakland Elaine Yau, associate curator and academic liaison, BAMPFA – Yau curated the exhibit "Routed West: Twentieth Century African American Quilts in California" Learn more about your ad choices.
