Ep 17: SOFT BULK Talking Quilts with Jacquie Gering, Zak Foster, Luke Haynes, & Heidi Parkes

[@DonnaDeCourcy]

I appreciate Jacquie's courage in putting her concerns and beliefs into her work.

Jacquie's work is phenomenal and so heartfelt, and even more impressive that she only started in 2009!

Great to hear all four of you and catch up. Thank you all for sharing with us! You inspire me more than you will know.

GAYLORD (large box) "derives its name from the Gaylord Container Corporation, which was based in St. Louis, Missouri, during the first half of the 20th century. This company filed patents for several unique designs."

I am a big fan of Jacquie and her fabulous quilts. I so enjoyed listening to her comments on how the ideas came about. I look forward to more tutorials because as much as I would love to attend classes in, I am not able to travel anymore.

Thank you Soft Bulk crew for another fabulous guest. Bravo. Jacquie was my first online serendipity discovery of something new I could be interested with. TallGrassStudio blog and Jacquie’s fabulous book Quilting Modern gave me entry to a different quilting expression. I have loved having such a thoughtful compassionate provocative but sadly only online companion to travel with and learn from. And now together with Soft Bulk! Thank you all for your conversation and creativity. Looking forward to future and best wishes Jacquie.

Heidi, Did you ever think of putting together a book with everybody's version of your patterns? Adamandia

I’ve thought about an exhibition, but a book hadn’t occurred to me yet. Hmm, what a nice idea! So much work to compile though… ❤️

[@SharonEmery-StudioFive]

Heidi, what you said about crediting and acknowledging where our ideas come from really resonates with me. I've tried to find the blog post of Jacquie's that you mentioned, but I'm not having any success. Can you please help guide me to that? Thanks so much for these conversations! I love being a fly on the wall!
