Adventures in Quilting

Dalen Keys

About

This podcast is a series of fun stories that are occasionally fact - but are often fiction. You don't have to be a quilter to listen . . . but if you are a quilter, or married to one, or know one, or lived with one, or passed one on the street . . . you'll certainly relate to these stories.

Mimi's Quilting Emporium is the hub of activity in Bitchfield, PA . . . a common little town with uncommon characters. But when one of their own sets out on an adventure across the USA to explore the sights - and visit as many quilting shops as possible, life in Bitchfield intertwines with stories from the road as they all come together at Mimi's.
