Jill Hemming lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where she works as a freelance folklorist. Her interest in quilting began while com­pleting fieldwork with Native American tribes in eastern North Carolina and with Mormon communities in Idaho. Cultural docu­mentation and public sector advocacy are skills she learned while completing a graduate degree in folklore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Jill believes in a community-based approach which recognizes and promotes living traditions.
