Quilting has long been a staple of American crafting, and tonight’s documentary, Stitched–directed by Jenalia Moreno, produced by Nancy Sarnoff, and shot by Tom Gandy all whom are joining us tonight– drops us right into the middle of the ultimate in competitive quilting: International Quilt Festival, the largest quilt show in the nation, held annually in Houston, TX and drawing over 50,000 quilters.

Today, we are joined by Stephen Partridge, one of the editors of The Cambridge Companion To Baseball.

Have I mentioned recently that I love baseball? I fit the definition of “avid fan” (pg 35) in that I follow the sports statistics but have not gone the route of the fantasy league fan (described as “rabid”). I can watch a baseball game at any level of play from Little League up to the Major Leagues and enjoy the game as it is. I have multiple shelves on my bookcases with both fiction and non-fiction baseball books. I own and re-watch a number of baseball themed movies.
