Welcome Back Erin Bauchan-Caprara of Seam Ripper Society! - Ep. 148

**Erin Bauchan-Caprara Returns: Quilting Through Grief, Activism, and Community**

In this powerful episode of *Not Your Granny's Quilt Show*, Erin Bauchan-Caprara (@seamrippersociety) returns to share the evolution of her poignant and provocative *Mass Shooting Quilt Series*. Erin is a quilter, artist, and activist using fabric as her medium to spotlight the ongoing crisis of gun violence in the United States.

We dive into the emotional and societal weight of this project, the backlash Erin faced early on, and how she’s continued to push forward with courage and purpose. This episode highlights how quilting can become a form of protest, remembrance, and community healing. Erin has opened up the project to other artists, assigning weeks of the year to contributors to ensure the series continues into the future.

This isn’t just quilting—it’s storytelling, activism, and an urgent call for change.
