My guest on the podcast today is Robert Bosscher— an artist who explores what it means to make, and why quilting fits so beautifully with his passions for art, history, and speaking through quilts. Robert studied Studio Art and Art History in Michigan, explored many creative mediums along the way, and ultimately found his way to fiber and textile art — quilting in particular. As the child of a quilter, he brings both a curiosity to explore new directions and an emotional connection to his work based on growing up with quilts as a form of comfort and care. His quilts hold that beautiful tension between the art world and the quilting world… and that can be where some of the most interesting conversations live.

My guest today is Lorena Uriarte. She is an internationally recognized, Sydney-based textile artist, a modern quilter, and educator known for her vibrant designs, intricate handwork, and innovative use of repurposed fabrics, often creating unique quilted coats. With over two decades of experience, she teaches patchwork and quilting workshops locally in Australia and globally, merging traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics, and she was the 2024 QuiltCon Raleigh Charity Quilt designer.

A quote from this podcast episode:

"It's really important to constantly be learning and try new things. And part of that is that not everything works. We all make mistakes in quilting and in life. Forgive yourself and move on." - Lorena Uriarte
