    This podcast has me captivated. It’s the storytelling that captures me. I’ve been listening to the podcast for a little while now and after listening to the QuiltCon 2023 episode, I felt inspired, emotional and captivated. I appreciate the careful threading of the messages Meg takes us through with her guests. As a hobbiest quilter, learning the ropes to this art form and craft, listening to this podcast has become part of understanding the identity and culture behind quilting.
