Episode 22: Pixel Quilts with Dee Bushrod
The Sewcial Hour Podcast
This week, we’re joined by the incredibly talented Dee Bushrod, the creative force behind Pixel Quilts. Dee’s work transforms photographs and images into breathtaking quilts that look like they’ve leapt straight out of a digital screen and onto fabric.
From her first Super Mario quilt in 2008 to her current portfolio of portraits, pop culture icons, and personal photo quilts, Dee has spent years perfecting her process. In this episode, she shares her journey from self-taught sewist to full-time pixel quilting artist, her tips for mastering color value and contrast, and the creative joy that comes from turning tiny fabric squares into big visual impact.
We also talk about confidence-shifting sewing projects, the makes that change how you see yourself as a creator and Dee’s take on why sewing is truly whatever you want it to be.
