I was recently tagged on an Instagram post asking for suggestions of regularly updated blogs that don’t “constantly push affiliated/sponsored products and posts”. Thankfully, I was being tagged because someone else felt my blog and podcast fit that description. When I read the post, I immediately had two very different thoughts. I get it! I want good content and inspiration …
When I was learning to knit, Vickie Howell inspired me through her television show, Knitty Gritty. Being close to me in age and with an infectious personality, I always wanted to sit on the couch and learn a new knitting technique. As I continued to go down the knitting black hole knit more, I kept thinking about how knitting was not …
One of the very first modern quilting magazines I subscribed to was Fat Quarterly. I still have my issues! I love how they incorporated fun projects along with fostering community. Fat Quarterly was my first introduction to John Q Adams (also known as Quilt Dad). Since then, I have followed his personal and professional journey and wanted to hear more …
Continuing with Improv Quilting Challenge, I interview Sherri Lynn Wood of daintytime. Her book, Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters: A Guide to Creating, Quilting, and Living Courageously, was the first improv quilting book I read that emphasized learning more of the techniques behind different improv styles. Consisting of “scores”, the book introduces the improv lessons and shows you ways to personalize them. …
As part of Improv Quilting month, I am pleased to present my podcast with Jacquie Gering of Tallgrass Prairie Studio. I will admit that I was nervous about our discussion. First, Jacquie has been one of my quilting inspirations since her book, Quilting Modern, came out. Her and Katie’s designs were another push for me to think outside of the pattern …
Imagine you are attending Quilt Con and you find an artist has photoshopped herself into several pictures from the event. They are hilarious and a lot of people are talking about this #quiltconartist. If you are like me, you start to stalk look for her pictures. It’s all fun and games until this happens: Yep, that’s me on a sewing …
Plus size garment making is near and dear to my heart. When I learned about Jenny and her website Cashmerette, I knew I wanted her on the podcast. What I didn’t know was how much I would love our conversation! First of all, Jenny has the best accent! I loved hearing words like “rubbish”. (What can I say? She’s adorable!) Secondly, …
We began the “Behind the Podcast” collaboration with Abby Glassenberg of While She Naps with Abby talking about the importance of podcasting as a listener and producer (post here) and learning how to subscribe to a podcast on either iTunes or Stitcher here. To continue the discussion, Abby and I interviewed each other about the inspiration for our podcasts along with …
Since starting a podcast, I have been asked several questions about the technical aspects of creating a podcast along with what happens before, during and after the call. Luckily, my friend Abby Glassenberg of While She Naps has decided to join me for a mini collaboration about podcasting. Today, Abby covers why podcasting is important to her as a listener …
Ben Baumgartner (also known as Ben Venom) is a fine artist, currently working with textiles. Meighan O’Toole introduced me to him and I have been fascinated with his perspective since then. Have you seen his work? [twocol_one][/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last][/twocol_one_last] [twocol_one][/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last][/twocol_one_last] Even if his style does not appeal to your taste, I love that he challenges what people think about punk, …
Free motion quilting can be an intimidating skill to learn. In August of 2014, I co-sponsored a daily free motion quilting challenge to prove practice makes the process easier. Along the way, I discovered the amazing Christina Cameli of A Few Scraps. Not only does she offer free motion quilting tutorials on her blog, she is also the author of …
Upfront, I have to admit I have a girl crush on Lisa Solomon. When someone creates these gorgeous installations, can you blame me? [twocol_one][/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last][/twocol_one_last] When the Craftcation course schedule came out, I knew I wanted to take a Color Theory class with her. I walked into class and sat in the back corner. I stared in awe as she introduced herself …
I have been following Becca Bryan at Bryan House Quilts since I first started sewing and quilting. My memory has failed to remember what first drew me to Becca’s blog but I keep reading it for tutorials like this Tribute Quilt. Originally, I wanted to study Color Theory for my Learn More, Sew More challenge. I started my research, took a color theory class, …
When you find Giucy Giuce on Instagram, it is like finding a quilty treat. His gorgeous pictures initially draw you in but his words make you stay. He goes by G, Giucy or Giuseppe and his quilts are vibrant, exciting and well designed. Here is his submission for RJR Fabrics, What Shade Are You? With my podcast with Paul Hallinger, …
When I was asked by F + W if I wanted to review Dear Quilty: 12 Easy Patchwork Quilts + Great Quilting Advice, by Mary Fons (Fons & Porter/F+W; $22.99), I jumped at the opportunity. I knew the magazine was stopping publication and wondered if the book would be a good resource to replace the magazines. Quilty was one of the first …
