A Hand Quilted Trailer
Transcript:
Hello, I’m Taniya Barrows, and I can’t wait to welcome you to the Hand Quilted Podcast! In this new podcast launching on February 12th, 2025, I will be sharing my personal journey as a self-taught hand quilter.
When I started quilting, back in the fall of 2014, I had no idea what I was doing, but I was determined to figure it out. Along the way, I saw the importance of perseverance, found the beauty of imperfection, and discovered the protective comfort of curling up within a hand made quilt, even if it isn’t finished yet.
I was surprised by how many of these life lessons were hiding within the folds of all that fabric. And now, after a decade of stitching away with my needle, thread, and thimble, I have created the Hand Quilted Podcast as my attempt to share some of those life lessons with the world.
I should also mention that I’m a creative writer who loves to tell stories, and I’m a self-taught podcaster doing this entirely by myself. That means, I’m taking my time to write each episode in a manner similar to a chapter in a memoir, and then recording, editing, and producing it all by myself. In many ways, this podcasting journey has been a similar adventure to my quilting endeavors. Admittedly, that will result in episodes that are released at a slower, and probably a more irregular interval, than many other podcasts, but I hope you will find each episode worth the wait.
I look forward to having you join me on my hand quilting (and podcasting) journey starting on February 12th. Until then, be sure to follow the Hand Quilted Podcast on your favorite podcasting platform so you don’t miss when episodes 1 and 2 are formally launched together!
