Description

With climate change and environmental impacts becoming a common narrative in our daily lives, it seems like a great time to explore what sustainability looks like in the quilting, fibre and textile world. We hear from creatives, makers, manufacturers and producers from all over the world to discover what sustainability looks like to them and find out how they are contributing to a sustainable future. We celebrate the positive steps people are taking, no matter how small. Whether you're a hobbyist or a pro, you can bring sustainability into your practice. Join me as we take a deep dive into the environmental, social and economic impacts with Threads of Sustainability.
