Where Quilts Lead Us: My Quiltmaking Journey
How can a quilt influence an entire career? Dr. Colleen Pokorny, Assistant Professor in Apparel Design at OSU, shares her journey from a childhood inspired by her grandmother's quilt to becoming an award-winning quilter, apparel designer, researcher, and educator. Through personal stories and examples of quilts, garments, and research projects, she will explore the enduring role of quiltmaking in preserving history, building community, inspiring creativity, and adapting to changing technologies.
