I have the best sisters who encourage me in my podcasting and quilting. My sister saw a Facebook post that her friend Nancy had an aunt that was a quilter. I’m so happy that we all connected and I had the privilege to interview Joan Zackey Hornberger.
Here's Joan working on a quilt and the self portrait she did.

We talked about this quilt that she made as a teenager from scraps.
