#67: Tangled - Textile Stories of Care & Connection (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In August I launched my new self-published book Tangled. It's been a long journey from idea in 2018 to finally having the books in my hands in 2026. In this episode I'll read extracts from the book, explain how it came about and respond to some questions asked in my online and in-person book launches about my work, the book and the making of it.

#66: Material Histories, Showing and Sharing Textiles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode is the second of the occasional mini series Material Histories with Deb McGuire . In this one we have a wonderful wide-ranging conversation starting with what we look for in quilt shows but covers far more than that. We talk about the power of connecting through making and about showing and sharing textile works. Maker Membership: Maker Membership Please join my email list for more: Email

#64: Where Do I Get My Ideas From? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have been asked about my ideas and where they come from more than anything else in my 21 year career (although "How long did it take to make?" must be a close second). It's really hard for me to define where each idea came from but I've given it a go in this podcast.
