StoryBee: an archive of 37 interviews just for our members
StoryBee hosted by Frances O’Roark Dowell is the 2018-2021 web-based interview show that profiled notable people who make, collect, sell, study, exhibit and/or preserve quilts. In keeping with the Quilt Alliance mission to document, preserve and share the history of quilts, StoryBee recorded conversations with people from all corners of the quilt world, toured their workspace and found out what was on their minds.
QA members can watch StoryBee videos at their convenience by logging into the Members-Only Corner on the QA’s website (all current members receive emails when new content is available and/or when they join/renew). Watch the first StoryBee episode below, or click on the video to watch it in YouTube. You can also find teasers for all StoryBee episodes here and our first full episode with Victoria Findlay Wolfe below.
