In this episode, I remind you of the upcoming Banned Books Week Challenge and give a brief  update about my guild's response to the challenge, and I officially (podcast-wise) announce the Scrapitude Mystery Quilt that has already been announced on my blog and in Twitter. Links in this episode: Modern Scrap Quilts pinboard on Pinterest "Seamly Stitching" (My guild's embroidery stitches-of-the-month...

In this episode, I update my accomplishments during the Labor Day Sew-In last weekend (#LDSI), plus my Hawaii-Western NY Mash-up menu for my niece's party this weekend, plus what I'm working on now.

Announcing a new challenge! Also, update on where I've been and what I've been doing, including lots of quilty news and even a bit about yarn.

I am so glad to be able to share with you yet another great conversation! In this episode, I talk with fiber artist, author, and teacher Carol Ann Waugh. Carol's work brings together her love of hand-stitching, machine work, surface design and embellishment all to wonderful combinations of artistry. You can experience her, as I have, through her two classes on Craftsy : Stupendous Stitching and St...

If you're not interested in general life stuff and want to skip straight to quilting, cut to about the 30 minute mark. Otherwise, I talk about my recent trip to Kansas City and some entertaining and way cool things that happened while I was there, then I talk about current quilt projects and give a shout-out to listeners and some changes in the quilt podcast world. See my website at www.quiltingfo...

In this episode, I talk with fiber artist, author, and teacher Jane Dunnewold. For show notes and links, visit www.quiltingfortherestofus.com.

In this episode, I have a conversation with quilt teacher, designer, and author Wendy Butler Berns about definitions of "art quilt,"  how to find your artistic voice, connections between quilt genres, and what Wendy's guiding word might be. See www.quiltingfortherestofus.com for more.

I just got home from quilt retreat and have some stuff to talk about! Meanwhile, don't forget the Kimberly Einmo giveaway --be sure to enter by Wednesday, May 22! Also, here's the link for the Genesee Valley Quilt Show: www.geneseequiltfest.com .

In this episode, my interview with quilt designer, author, and teacher Kimberly Einmo and announcement about a giveaway sponsored by Craftsy. Visit www.quiltingfortherestofus.com for details.

Honey, I'm home! I'm back from AQS QuiltWeek in Paducah, KY, and lived to tell about it. More or less. In this episode, I describe my experiences in Paducah, including a meet-up with a listener, scalping tickets to a class, and a conversation with a very nice police officer. Oh, and quilts. Plus I announce the winners of my 3rd Podcastaversary Giveaway, and what's up for the next episode! Thanks f...

In this episode, I announce the new Project Hope Online Quilt Show that Sandi Colwell of QuiltCabanaCorner and I are co-hosting; I also let you know about a new-to-me app and what's going on in my life, as well as giving a little preview of my trip to AQS QuiltWeek at Paducah tomorrow.

It's my third podcastaversary and I announce a great giveaway! Please go to www.quiltingfortherestofus.com and click on "Podcast" for show notes and giveaway.

Having tested my feed, I now feel confident this one will work just fine! In this episode I update you on my progress with Laura Wasilowsky's Hand-Stitched Collage Quilts in Craftsy, make a mini-not-quite-an-announcement-yet about my Third Podcastaversary Giveaway, explain my new website, and some listener feedback. (No comments on Podbean--all comments are now on www.quiltingfortherestofus.com, c...

This is not an episode, this is a test. I talk for five minutes about current projects (sort of) just to see if my podcast feed is still working. Let me know if it is!

I'm back from vacation and feeling well-rested and rarin' to... slow down. Sound like a mixed metaphor or oxymoron or something? Check out the creative bytes in this episode to find out what toggle switch just got flipped for me and why. In addition to some highlights from Louisiana, I also talk about my experience doing the Kimberly Einmo Mystery Quilt on Craftsy and where I think I'm heading nex...

I'm finally back! February was pretty much a waste. But now it's March 1 and I'm there with bells on! In this episode I announce the winner of the book giveaway courtesy Sarah of Houston; I give some Sandy Update about why I dropped off the face of the earth for three weeks; I talk about my adventure in hand-dyeing; and I do some listener feedback. Mentioned in this episode Jane Dunnewold's class...

Sandy Raw and Uncut. I didn't edit this episode so I apologize for any sniffles or squeaks you may hear. Fortunately, you can't catch my cold through the airwaves. In this episode (thanks to Nonnie!) all y'all weighed in with your thoughts on reading quilt magazines and quilt books in their print version versus digital, and then I give my two cents. This topic was spurred by this blog post sent to...

This episode is a mystery. Yep--I look back on my experience doing a mystery quilt. I also announce winners of the 2013 Quilty Resolutions Giveaway, seek input for an upcoming episode, have a very short creative bytes and Sandy Update, and spend just a little time with listener comments.

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 lis...

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...
