Vox Populi

The stories of three quilters combine to reveal an intimate portrait of rural women in the American West. Featuring Brenda Bailey, Sara Buscaglia, and Susan “Traditional Woman” Hudson.

A glimpse into the lives of three quilters in the American West. The filmmakers explore these women’s stories, which both complement and contrast with one another, as sweet music and lovely cinematography invite us into stunning landscapes and their homes in rural Colorado, Utah, and the Navajo Nation of New Mexico. Through intimate conversations and a careful unfolding of the creative processes that produce their gorgeous quilts, we appreciate the beauty of place and the expert craftsmanship that connect the three women’s experiences. This beautiful short film feels whimsical and weighty all at once. (source: Full Frame Documentary Film Festival)
