Hello Atelier | Crafting Activism

December 22, 2017  |  Betsy Blodgett  |  1 min read

Nedra Bonds is a quilter, dollmaker and activist. She makes a statement – and generates change – using the non-confrontational medium of textiles. As you’ll hear in this episode, Nedra isn’t afraid of, well, anything. She isn’t afraid to speak out against an injustice. She isn’t afraid to explore her world, and she isn’t afraid to take on a disease as dire as cancer. Listen in as we talk quilting and craftivism.
