This week's Textile Talk is an overview of Laura Petrovich-Cheney's work and her combining of two mediums, quiltmaking and woodworking.

From SAQA:
"Trading fabrics for worn wooden planks, split doors, cracked cabinets, and broken dressers, Laura Petrovich-Cheney still considers her work to be quilts. Her wooden scrap materials were collected after surviving a hurricane. Combining quilt making with woodworking, her sculptures are quite different from traditional quilts. Yet, the result is the same— an object of beauty and comfort, a pieced-together whole from scraps that tells a story of hope and resilience."
This Textile Talk takes place, Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Future installments are held online at 2 p.m. Eastern (11 a.m. Pacific) each Wednesday.
