Summary: <p>Today's guest is <a href="http://www.roderickkiracofe.com/">Roderick Kiracofe</a>. Living in San Francisco, Roderick is a former quilt dealer, quilt collector, and author of <a href="http://amzn.to/2hbbsY3">The American Quilt: A History of Cloth</a> and <a href="http://amzn.to/2xIxxIi">Comfort, Cloth and Comfort: Pieces of Women's Lives from Their Quilts and Diaries</a> as well as <a href="http://amzn.to/2jyzH6Y">Unconventional and Unexpected: American Quilts Below the Radar</a>. During our conversation we talk about the beginning of his quilt collecting, his passion for quilt history, why he took a break from the industry and how he overcame his own form of imposter syndrome to write Unconventional and Unexpected. This is a longer interview but there is so much important quilt and cultural history that I wanted to preserve. I hope you enjoy Roderick's forty year journey and wisdom. </p><br> <div>For more information about this episode (including show notes), please check out my website <a href="http://www.craftyplanner.com/2017/09/18/roderick-kiracofe/">craftyplanner.com</a>. </div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>A special thank you to my listeners who support the podcast through <a href="http://www.craftyplanner.com/podcast-donations/">their donations</a>.
