Episode 96—Piecing Tiny Quilts with Amy Pabst
Our guest today is award-winning microquilter Amy Pabst, known for her breathtaking miniature quilts that pack incredible detail into impossibly small spaces. Amy shares what first drew her to textiles, the techniques and tools that make microquilting possible, and the patience and precision required to make quilts on such a small scale. We also talk about where she finds inspiration and how she integrates what she’s learning in pursuit of a fine arts degree into her quilting. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or simply fascinated by fine detail, you’ll be inspired by Amy’s dedication to her craft and her unique perspective on quilting at the smallest scale.
