For the April 6, 2018 episode of Studio Stories (1pm), we head over to the mainland to Portsmouth Village and visit Annette Willis, rogue quilt builder of Chasing Lightning Bugs.

In this episode we discuss a many things, including a few quilts, like this one from her early era, similar to the one she saw in the film that spurred on this creative endeavour, and below that, a new one.

We also discussed the Miss Havisham quilt, one of which you can find here, and her song/poetry/quote quilts, which you can see here and here and here.
