QOF Episode 221 - Nicole Nehrig
My guest today is psychologist and lifelong knitter Nicole Nehrig, author of the book WITH HER OWN HANDS: Women Weaving Their Stories In this timely and powerful exploration, Nicole uncovers how women across centuries and cultures have used textile arts—knitting, weaving, embroidery—not only as creative outlets, but as tools of resistance, expression, survival, and connection. As a new generation rediscovers fiber arts for mindfulness and meaning, Nicole reclaims the intellectual and emotional legacy behind every stitch. This book touches on subjects such as feminist history, modern crafting culture, the neuroscience of making, and the stories we literally weave into the fabric of our lives.Quilter on Fire Website - https://quilteronfire.com/OLISO IRONS - Host of the Quilter on Fire Podcast Lounge each year at QuiltCon!BUY YOUR OWN OLISO MINI PROJECT IRON RIGHT HERESquare One Textile Art WorkshopJoin Brandy’s email listFree Quilter on Fire Holiday Table Runner VIDEOSUPPORT THE PODCAST by becoming a Quilter on Fire Podcast Angel for as little as $3 per week.Support the showThank you for listening to the Quilter on Fire Podcast.
