That spark led to bag making, selling her creations online, and eventually evolving her practice into the joyful world of patchwork and Sashiko, the Japanese tradition of decorative hand stitching. Along the way, she has shared her unique approach to playful Sashiko patchwork through classes, online tutorials, and at QuiltCon, where she taught in 2022.In this episode, Diana and I talk about her creative journey, her love for scraps, and how she brings a spirit of fun into every stitch.

• Meet Nicole Nehrig, Author of With Her Own Hands! - Ep. 165

  This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, my guest is psychologist, knitter, and author Nicole Nehrig. Nicole’s new book, With Her Own Hands, explores the deep personal meaning of textile work for women around the world throughout history. Drawing from her professional research and her own knitting journey, Nicole dives into how fiber arts have shaped—and been shaped by—women’s lives.Nicole shares how the societal upheaval of 2020 prompted her career shift, giving her the space to focus on knitting while home with her children. That quiet time sparked questions about the women who came before us—balancing care for their families while creating clothing, blankets, and art out of necessity. Through her research and writing, knitting became both her anchor and her lens for understanding this enduring tradition.Her hope for the book is to offer a framework for making space for meaningful textile work in our own lives—reminding us that, truly, our lives are in our own hands.Find With Her Own Hands at nicolenehrig.com—and, as always, buy direct from the author when you can!Want to see more?
