What are the historical roots and significance of quilting?
Oh, hey, it's the guy whose outfit you want to compliment, but you don't want to make things awkward. Allie Ward, and I know you're thinking that the runtime of this episode has to be a typo. It's not. It's real. We have a dive so deep for you. It'll change the way you interact with your aunt, with your local thrift store, with art shows, and your very bed itself. It's quilts, and it's a big one, because how could I not make a quilt of various experts to give me not only the history and the context and the how-to and the advice and the narratives, but woven into this incredibly underappreciated and, dare I say, highly political art form. So joining us today is an author, fine artist, and historical expert.
You can say your first and last name and the pronouns you use too. Sure.
Now? Yeah, go for it. We're rolling. Okay. I'm Joe Cunningham, and my pronouns are he, him.
We also meet a museum curator, a textile conservator, and though a non-quilter, a quilting scholar. Olivia Joseph, and I use they, she pronouns. And rounding it out for this ology is another world-famous fine artist and quilter. Luke Haynes, he, him. Did you know that there's sort of an ology for quilting? No. There sort of is. I think one person has used it, but in Latin, colicida means like patchwork blanket. Isn't that cool?
That's really good. I was curious about what the vernacular was going to be.
Now, this is not to be confused with our mosquitoes episode, which is called Sidology. Also, Jeopardy. Let me come on. Let me read ology clues for you. I will be chill. I will bring my own snacks. Put me in. Also, heads up, we have another episode coming out this week. I know. Stay tuned. If you're saying, Dad, word. How did you make a two-hour episode with three guests, plus a bonus episode, plus a downloadable gift for us for free all in one week and get it out on time? I didn't, which is why this is dropping on a Wednesday. Sorry about that. We did our best. Also, that downloadable gift, spoiler, it's an incredible pattern custom made for you by Luke Haynes, and you can find it in the show notes or on our website at alleyword.com slash ologies, colcitology, Luke Haynes.
A thousand thanks. I can't wait to see what everyone makes. Okay. Also, I'd like to drop a thanks to patrons of the show who submitted questions via patreon.com slash ologies and who support the show for as little as a dollar a month. Thank you to everyone out there in our merch from Ologies merch, including the new protest and revolution themed merch that we put out last week designed by Andy Diaz with 100% of the proceeds going to the National Immigration Law Center. You can see the show notes for that. Also, thank you to everyone who leaves reviews for the show, which earnestly help us so much such as this recent one from Samuel Lake, who wrote, As an elementary school custodian who works in the evenings, this podcast has been a marvelous way to make cleaning toilets a little bit easier.
This podcast is a beautiful collection of talks with specialists and experts from every imaginable field. Samuel Lake, thank you for spending your nights with us. Hello. Also, thank you to everyone who leaves reviews. I do read them all. And thanks to sponsors who made it possible for us to donate to not one, but four causes this episode. Okay, let's hop in. This episode will teach you to love quilts, to seek out quilting exhibitions, to run your fingertips over the seams of the quilts in your closet. We'll cover scrap quilts, silk quilts, Indian quilts, hidden messages in quilts, controversies, the one person you do not want to enter an affair with, how a quilting bee can change the world, the respect due to fiber arts, quilting and COVID, the Alabama quilters who turned modern art criticism on its head, galleries versus...
linen closets, the past, the present, the future of quilting, the icons you need to know about, washing, preserving, appraising, repairing, and enjoying quilts with Olivia Joseph, Luke Haynes, and Joe Cunningham, three of your new favorite culcitologists.
