How to Draft a Quilt Block with Marsha McCloskey | Museum Tour
(Show 1203) Author and teacher Marsha McCloskey loves complex blocks, and brings piecing techniques and tips to the International Museum of Folk Arts in Santa Fe, our location for this "star-studded" episode.

Bol, director of the IMFA, shares the history and vast collection of folk art items housed and displayed at the International Museum of Folk Art.
