Behind the Seams

In the sixth episode of Behind the Seams (and the final episode of the first season!), host Roxane Cerda interviews Suzanne Paquette, who creates modern memory quilts for family, friends, and customers. Suzanne had a winding journey to quiltmaking (through costume-making, hat-making, and Cirque de Soleil!), and she has a lot to say about finding your path, running a small business, and the emotional journey of creating a memory quilt.
