What happens when one of the most traditional museums in the world revolutionises the way it presents the story of the past?  The answer is not only a riot of craft and colour, but a reminder of the crucial role of textiles in framing our histories.   The Pitt Rivers Museum at Oxford, in the UK, has just added 15 brand new, intensely colourful Hawaiian quilts to its collection of extraordinary artifacts. These skilfully stitched quilts were specially made for the Museum, which holds more than half a million precious objects from all over the world and from all periods of human existence.   Quilting is a craft that over two hundred years Hawaiians have made very much their own – although it was first brought to the islands by incomers. They have developed a unique style that embeds the deep beliefs and rituals of Hawaiian life and keeps them alive in the designing, making, and gifting of these beautiful quilts.   For more information about this episode and pictures of the people and places mentioned in this episode please go to https://hapticandhue.com/tales-of-textiles-series-7/.   And if you would like to find out about Friends of Haptic & Hue with an extra podcast every month hosted by Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor – here's the link: https://hapticandhue.com/join/

Today's episode of the Quilter on Fire podcast is totally different – it's about a short independent film – and you are gonna love it! THE QUILTERS follows the daily lives of several men, spending most of its screen time inside the sewing room in a Level 5 maximum security prison in a small Missouri town. As we follow several quilts from design to completion, audiences will come to know these men, witnessing their struggles, triumphs, and sense of pride as they create something beautiful in this windowless, sacred space, deep within the prison walls. Through this process and the relationships forged we witness the power of art to restore an individual's view of themselves and others. Today, I'll have a chat with award-winning filmmaker Jenifer McShane! THE QUILTERS is in consideration for an OSCAR nomination!  The film window is now closed to view it for the DOCNYC event as mentioned in the podcast but if you are going to H&H Americas in May it will be featured there. IF you are thinking - "What!? but I want to watch this film!" go to @thequiltersdoc on Instagram or follow QuilteronFire on the socials so you'll see the announcement as to when it is available for you to watch.__________________________________________ Want to travel with Brandy?2025 FESTIVAL OF QUILTS Birmingham!!!

For fiber artist Aaron McIntosh, quilting is an act of defiant documentation. Growing up in an Appalachian family with a generations-deep tradition of quilting, he learned the craft as a boy and went on to develop his own ethos and mission, studying first at the Appalachian Center for Craft in Tennessee and then earning his MFA at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.In recent years, Aaron has placed his own personal history and metaphorical body into fabric sculptures that blend his familial and cultural background with his identity as a queer Appalachian artist. His work has been exhibited in a variety of institutions, from the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and the Toledo Museum of Art to Hangaram Art Museum in Seoul. In 2015, he started the “Invasive Queer Kudzu” project, a community storytelling, archiving and art-making project focusing on queer communities, past and present, in America's Southeast. In this interview, Aaron, who is currently an associate professor at Concordia University in Montreal, describes why and how he claimed the South's most notorious weed as his artistic inspiration and clears up any misconceptions about the fiber arts ever having taken a back seat to other fine arts throughout human history.https://aaronmcintosh.com/home.html

Welcome to Sew & So, brought to you by BERNINA, made to create! I'm Meg Goodman, and today, you're in for an exclusive treat. Join me on a behind-the-scenes tour of a truly extraordinary milestone—the 50th anniversary of the Houston Quilt Festival.  This isn't just any quilt show; it's an international celebration of artistry, creativity, and history. We'll be diving deep with attendees, educators, personalities, and prize-winning quilters, capturing those moments that make this event so iconic. And, of course, we'll be peeking behind the curtains… because that's what we love to do on Sew & So, bringing you right into the heart of the action at one of the world's most renowned quilt festivals. This legendary event began in 1974, a time when the world was changing fast. Karey Bresenhan, a visionary, opened her quilt shop, Great Expectations, in Houston, Texas, sparking what would become an incredible journey. Just to give you a sense of that time: President Nixon resigned over Watergate, ABBA's Waterloo was topping charts, and movies like The Godfather Part II and Blazing Saddles were captivating audiences. Nike was filing its first patent, People magazine launched, and fashion was all about flared pants and leisure suits. Quite a backdrop, right?   The Festival's Remarkable History (1:34)Bob Ruggiero, Vice President of Communications for Quilts, Inc. (www.quiltsinc.com), shares the fascinating story of how the festival began in 1974 and grew into an international sensation.

Hear from the artist, Chen Jing, in a touching conversation made possible through a friend and Google Translate. Let's let Bob Ruggiero introduce it. Artistry Meets Innovation (17:29)Past Sew & So guest Kestral Michaud (www.kestralmichaud.com) returns as the winner of the Master Award for Contemporary Artistry. Her journey continues to inspire!  Empowering Communities (18:36 & 22:35)Spotlight on nonprofits: Meet newcomers like Danielle Harper from the Barbara Bush Foundation (www.bushhoustonliteracy.org) and Jessica Rudolph from My Very Own Blanket (www.myveryownblanket.org), as well as returning groups like MD Anderson (www.mdanderson.org/ovarian-quilt-project), Sew Powerful (www.sewpowerful.org), and Creativity Shell (www.creativityshell.org).
