This week's Textile Talk, presented by the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts, features Akiko Ike and her stitching style she calls “chiku-chiku.” "“Chiku-chiku” is the onomatopoeic word Ike has coined to describe the sound her broad needle makes as it runs into and out of the cloth. Now, nearly twenty years later, she has amassed a significant collection of vintage textiles laced with her own thread in her characteristic running stitch. Ike will present her studio, farm, and samples of her chiku-chiku work." Register today and watch when this episode airs this Wednesday, July 12, 2023, at 2 PM EDT.
