Episode #141 Kris Jensen - Director of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & TextilesThis podcast is also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.Kris Jensen, Director of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles, has woven together a range of experiences in taking the helm of one of the Bay Area's most niche and quietly radical museums. He has decades of nonprofit leadership experience, including as director of development at Alameda County Community Food Bank, Executive Director of Collective Roots in East Palo Alto, and Executive Director of San Bruno Mountain Watch. The same sense of advocacy and inclusion he brought to those roles now shapes Jensen's mission at the museum.In this conversation, Kris reflects on his path from food justice to textile arts, the importance of redefining museums as interactive spaces, and how fiber art—often dismissed as craft—has long been a vehicle for social commentary.Follow the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles on Instagram @sjmqt and on the web at sj-mqt.org

The opening ceremonies for the Roast will start at 11 AM on Saturday, with an introduction from the Lander Pipe Band, an opening prayer, and a Quilts of Valor presentation. Pulled pork sandwiches will be given out starting at 12 PM, around the same time as the start of the day's music offerings, which this year include: Nightfire Steve Gora Buffalo Bill Boycott and Dr. Jo Candice and the Mad Dogs Full Blown Mosey Additionally, there will be kids' games, a dunk tank, alcoholic drinks for purchase thanks to the VFW, pork items for sale, food truck offerings for folks who want a bite of something other than pork, a raffle for a custom-made Cornhole set from Scott Robeson, and you can't forget the Cornhole tournament organized by Ed Newbold and the Fremont County Cornhole crew (registration for the Cornhole tournament starts at 10:30 AM, and bags fly at 11 AM).

82-year-old Ruby Leith Minkel and her daughter Carrie Minkel-Johnson live in the Lower Sioux Indian Community in southwest Minnesota. Together, they make star quilts as gifts for people both within and outside of the community.“I love making the quilts, and it's just something that I appreciate,” Leith Minkel said.When they are not at home in their personal sewing rooms, the two utilize the Lower Sioux Cultural Incubator, a community center that provides a variety of cultural classes, activities and space to use.The quilting studio is lined with several sewing machines. Thread, scissors and other supplies can be found in small plastic bins. The space has two large tables for laying fabrics across, rather than on the floor.‘At least I got her with me' Leith Minkel first learned to sew in high school, but she didn't start making star quilts until the mid-1990s. She says she only needed to be shown twice before she started working independently. “I started teaching it. I taught a few women around here that are still doing it, and I'm glad they are, because I don't want that lost. I want to keep that going,” she said. “That's why I got her [Minkel-Johnson] going.” For Minkel-Johnson, a seamstress in her 60's, she says she never imagined herself making quilts. She finally said ‘yes' five years ago after many years of her mother asking to teach her. “I never wanted her to teach me how, because I thought, if she teaches me that, what else can she teach me? You know, that was the last thing that I could think of that I wanted to learn from my mother,” she said. “[I] didn't realize it was going to bring us closer together and to spend more time together.” Leith Minkel says it didn't take long for her daughter to catch on to the sewing patterns, just like herself.   Minkel-Johnson says she enjoys working closely with her mother. Quilting keeps them busy and active with fulfilling order requests or traveling to various powwows together with a table and chairs in tow.“We don't make a lot of money making these quilts. It's more [about] having your little fingerprint on something that's going to be out there,” said Minkel-Johnson, “I'm enjoying it. I love doing it with mom.”Even though the two are neighbors, Minkel-Johnson says the quilts bring them together. Outside of their shared love for quilting, she says it's rare that they see one another.  “We're so busy trying to get our quilts done. We'll call each other, ‘Okay, what are you doing? How far are you?'” she said.  Leith Minkel shares in those sentiments that she loves being able to share a special bond with her daughter over star quilts.  “It's nice because, at least I got her with me,” Leith Minkel said. ‘It's an honor' Birthdays, graduations, weddings or funerals are events in one's life that may call for a gift of a star quilt or blanket.  “When you're making it, you're thinking of who you're making it for,” Leith Minkel said.  She recently began working on a star quilt for a baby, choosing fabric from children's cartoons, and pink fabric for a base color. Star quilts can be created in a variety of sizes and colors, depending on the recipient's age or interests.  However, one thing consistent within the designs of the quilts is the signature diamond-shaped star with eight points.  “The Natives, they came from the Star Nation,” Leith Minkel explains. While holding a quilt with her mother — showcasing a star as its centerpiece with vivid colors of the medicine wheel: yellow, red, black and white — Minkel-Johnson shares what she had been taught about star quilts. She points to the Seven Fire Councils, an alliance of the varying groups of the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota people. The two make their star quilts with this in mind — the points on the quilt represent each of the seven. “And the eighth is for the person who made the star,” she said.  To both, a star quilt represents honor.  “I always feel that it's an honor to give the quilt to them, and I can just feel the honor it is for somebody that's receiving one that we made,” Minkel-Johnson said.  Recently, they made about 50 star quilts for this year's graduates in the Lower Sioux Indian Community. They also make star quilts upon request for those outside of their community, including graduates living in the Twin Cities area.  Leith Minkel says she can make a full quilt within two days.  “It's something that I'll probably do till the day I'm gone,” Leith Minkel said.Chandra Colvin covers Native American communities in Minnesota for MPR News via Report for America, a national service program that places journalists into local newsrooms to report on undercovered issues and communities.

My guest today is Sharon Holland. A mother of 3 with a B.A. in Art & Design. Sharon's story goes from handcrafting dolls and seasonal crafts to a stint in magazine publishing and fabric design first for Paintbrush Studios and then now Art Gallery Fabrics. Starting as a library-book-taught quilter when rotary cutters were revolutionary new tools, she's evolved into a sought-after designer with a signature "modern-traditional" style. Her journey proves that formal training combined with hands-on passion creates something extraordinary—fabric designs and quilts that bridge heritage techniques with contemporary aesthetics, the perfect mix. She is a quilt pattern designer with hundreds of PDF patterns available, and she wrote the book Utility-style quilts for everyday living!You can find Sharon's website here: https://www.sharonhollanddesigns.com/Want to travel with Brandy?
