Capri for WV Public Radio: Quilts in Appalachia

Recently for West Virginia Public Radio, Capri met Emily Jones Hudson, who started a workshop to try and reinvigorate quilting in her community in Kentucky. Quilts in Appalachia are often handed down from generation to generation and while some traditional arts have faded, people have never really stopped quilting. Emily Jones Hudson noticed fewer quilters in her hometown of Hazard, Kentucky, especially among African Americans. So, she created a quilting workshop series to encourage people to revitalize the art and recapture some history. Give the whole story a listen here.
