Presented by the Surface Design Association: "Join us on April 15 at 2PM EDT as we celebrate the publication of Quilt of Souls: A Memoir by Phyllis Biffle-Elmore. Quilts have long held the heartbeat of storytelling and the passing down of oral history. Phyllis’ grandmother Lula Young Horn (1883-1988) told her the stories embedded in her Quilts of Souls. As a master quilter – Grandmother Lula only made quilts from the clothing of deceased family members, friends, and neighbors. Each piece of clothing contained stories of how their lives were lived and these quilts carried the stories of their demise." Register today and watch when this episode airs this Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at 2 PM EDT.
More from the Surface Design Association:
"In Phyllis’ memoir each chapter tells the stories of the people whose clothes make up her own Quilt of Souls. Her work challenges us to remember the history of quilting and the power and lives held within these objects."
