Quilting...for the Rest of Us

Who knows what day it is? I clearly don’t. You get a 24-hour grace period on the Quilty Resolutions Giveaway if you hadn’t posted yours yet! In this very short episode, I explain my recent absence from the airwaves, have a very confused time-space continuum experience, talk briefly about some creativity exercises I’m doing, then basically bag it for the night. Enjoy, if you can.

Jaye was gracious enough to take time out of her busy holiday schedule to talk with us once again about a design element that, frankly, I think is one of my favorites: negative space. She describes what negative space is and how to harness its power for good. Also in this episode: Sandy Update, a little about pillowcases, a reminder of the Quilty Resolutions Giveaway and a related request, and listener feedback. To visit Jaye’s blog for her notes on negative space (and an image of ...

In this episode, I announce the Boxing Day Sew In (Dec 26), and the 2013 Quilty Resolutions Giveaway. (You’ll want to listen to my explanation of the Resolutions Giveaway before trying to fill out the form below!) I also do Creative Bytes, talk about recent projects and some product reviews, and give some listener feedback. And somehow I ended up talking a lot about Sandi of Quilt Cabana Patterns! Mentioned in this epi...

Another design episode with Jaye–woot! Don’t forget to check out her blog for notes. (If they’re not there as soon as this is posted, they will be soon after.)

Another Creative Bytes, followed by Sandy Update, a book review, and listener feedback. I review Intuitive Color and Design: Adventures in Art Quilting by Jean Wells. By the way, much of the information in this book would be useful to any kind of quilter, not just art quilters! Join the ...

Welcome to episode 109, in which I announce a new feature of my podcast, do a little Sandy Update, and share what listeners have said about perfectionism in quilting.

My account of continuing progress on the 9-Patch Pizzazz, but a change of purpose for it; I also announce my winner of the Banned Book Challenge giveaway, give a brief retrospective of hurricane action in these parts, have some shout outs to Aussies, and do some listener feedback.

As I post this episode, the wind is starting to whip and my windowpanes are rattling with the rain. Yes, Hurricane Sandy is starting to move into my area, so I decided to post an episode quick quick before I lose power like so many of my eastern buddies have now done. The good news is, I finally made some progress on quilt projects! The bad news is, it could all come screeching to a halt depending on what happens in the next 24 hours storm-wise. Meanwhile, listen to my updates on my Banned Book Challe...

Catching up with y’all! I give a brief update on life in general, remind you of the Banned Book Challenge I’m co-hosting with Tanesha of CraftyGardenMom this month, talk about designing fabric on Spoonflower, and do some listener feedback.
