Scraps of Quilting music

A heartwarming one-man show, born from a passion for all things timeless and rooted. This ode to the American quilting tradition celebrates the untold number of quilters who let their stitches tell their stories. These gifts of patience touch everyone’s lives; whether they provide a little piece of home to a soldier in the thick of war; to providing warmth to a family in the thick of winter.

Featuring songs, stories, poetry and lore derived from personal interviews with elder quilters, historical documents. Themes in the show include:

  • Quilts’ ability to pass down family history
  • Quilts of Gee's Bend
  • Quilts of the Civil War
  • Quilts of the Old West
  • The Aids Quilt
  • and much more…
