Traci Fields Tackett, 54, and Holly Fields Collins, 102, are two generations of women who are passionate about making quilts. Both born in Hazard, KY, they each fell in love with the art of quilting at a young age. Together, they discuss their experiences of quilting in two different generations, as well as how they see the art as connected to a long tradition of Appalachian resilience.

I started quilting when I moved to the Ozarks eight years ago. I have fallen in love with the craft and so appreciate hearing the stories of other quilters who have gone before me.
