About this episode
We're back with our second episode of Season 4! We're continuing our focus on the intersection of technology and quiltmaking, but this time, we're going digital. We're exploring the backstory and invention of Electric Quilt , the leading quilt design software that's been changing how quilters create their work for more than 30 years. Join us for a conversation with Penny McMorris, co-founder of The Electric Quilt Company, and a key player of the late twentieth century's quilt revival. We'll hear how Penny and her husband Dean Neumann created Electric Quilt software, listen to snippets from quilters across the decades about how they use EQ to design their quilts, and reflect on Penny's journey through quilt history, hosting a PBS television show, and designing software specifically for quiltmakers. This episode of Running Stitch is sponsored by A New Deal for Quilts , a book and accompanying exhibit up now through April 2024 at the International Quilt Museum by Running Stitch host, Janneken Smucker.
