Ep 016: From Scrubs to Scraps | Making Room for Quilting in a Busy Life

In this  episode of Patchwork Revival: A Quilting Podcast, I’m chatting with Dr. Allee Nix—recent medical school graduate and passionate quilter—to explore how quilting has remained a grounding force in her life throughout an intense season of medical training.

From stitching with her mother and grandmother as a child to carving out precious time for sewing during med school, Allee shares how quilting became both a creative outlet and a form of self-care. We talk about honoring quilting legacies, staying connected to handmade traditions, and why the quilting community continues to be a source of strength and inspiration.

If you're a busy quilter looking for ways to prioritize your craft or someone seeking motivation to return to your sewing room, this episode will speak directly to you. Allee also offers simple, practical tips for making space for quilting—no matter how hectic life gets.

Whether you're a longtime listener or a new quilter looking for podcasts about creativity, women's stories, and the deeper meaning behind patchwork, this episode is a must-listen.
