Patchwork Revival: A Quilting Podcast

by Emily Dodd

From family heirlooms to thrift store finds, every quilt holds a piece of history, and a little piece of a quilter’s heart. Join me every other week to get back to your quilting roots! We’ll celebrate quilts and the real people who made them, learn a little bit about the history of quilting, and have lots of fun exploring ways to reclaim tradition in a modern world.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed discovering this wonderful podcast. She may be younger than I am but she is so easy to relate to and offers a lot of wisdom to our quilting world.

Bks4lou · Mar 2025

I’m so happy I found this podcast! I’ve been binge-listening to all the past shows as I walk or sew. I love your focus on traditional quilting, your stories of people in your life who inspire you, and just the conversational tone in which you broadcast. Please keep doing what you’re doing! 😊 P.S. Do you have any interests or friends or friends who do English Paper Piecing?

TeeLeister · Feb 2025

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about fellow quilters, it is that once you meet someone else who quilts, there is instantly a thread that connects you to that person. I love the history and the why behind why we do what we do. If you’ve ever walked into an old house and wondered what stories the walls could tell, that’s how I feel about quilters and creatives in general. I feel like we are losing or missing out on a wealth of knowledge by not recording the stories that led us to where we are. And that is exactly what Emily captures in her podcast Patchwork Revival.

The Birch Cottage · Feb 2025

I’m loving this new podcast. It’s sincere and informative. I enjoy learning how others got started quilting and hearing about their experiences. Also, the audio quality is top-notch!! I can’t wait for more episodes.
