Quilt Connections with Karen Ponischil

It's been a minute since I recorded a podcast but with the coronavirus quarantine and everything else going on...it was the right time to check in with my buddy Susan Edmonson.  A lot has changed for her and everyone.

Today's guest is Linda Syverson Guild . She is an award-winning art quilter who lives outside Washington DC, in Bethesda, Maryland. She is an architect, which is apparent in the design, theme and structure of her work. Her pieces are recognizable for their straight lines, geometry, and the tendency to make people smile; due to the hint of nostalgia she incorporates into her art. For more information check out her website http://www.lindasyversonguild.com/

A conversation about entering art quilt exhibits and having solo shows.
