​​Lauretta Allen

"Seams Like History" Podcast
 

Lauretta is an independent researcher and producer for her own podcast, "Seams Like History."  She focuses on one specific historical quilt in each episode and the woman that made it.  She discusses the quilting craftmanship of each historical quilt and delves into the history of the artisan that made it.  While most historians focus on the quilted artifact, Lauretta has painstakingly researched the historical artisan that made each quilt.  She brings to life each and every woman - the woman from an old Dutch merchant family raised in Manhattan during the Early Republic; a woman living during the Civil War with the Shenandoah battles taking place in her backyard; a 19th century prosperous farmer's wife in western Massachusetts; and a North Carolina barnyard quilt maker who lived through four wars and the Great Depression.

Join us to hear Lauretta show us her treasured quilts and the stories of the extraordinary women who made them.
