Episode 235 In Which I Went to a Quilt Show 6-10-26

Jun 10, 2026

44 min

It's been a minute! I'm catching up after a hectic May that included back-to-back busy weekends, a work trip, and a rough respiratory illness that finally gave in to antibiotics.
I give a project status update, share my plans for Angela Walters' Free Motion Feathers Quilt Along, and debate what's next — possibly put to a Patreon vote. I also talk about my day at the Genesee Valley Quilt Club Quilt Fest, fall down a Lucy Boston rabbit hole, and share some listener mail.

Episode 234 In Which I Go on Retreat 4-26-26

Apr 26, 2026

50 min

Quick retreat recap: I packed my entire life into the Highlander (as one does), stitched my heart out, and came home with a longer project list than when I left. Success!
In this episode:
Retreat packing reality: you pack to the size of your car’s trunk, not the size of your needs.
Weather report: yes.
Quilt shop jaunt + cafeteria meals + retreat people-watching.
Projects update:
Charlotte’s 2025 Mystery quilt top: done (pics on Patreon).
Hunter’s Star: up to 37 units… only 443-ish to go. 😅
Embroidery wildflowers #2 finished; #3 is still living in the car.
Crumb strips continue to be weirdly satisfying.
New-to-me tools for fabric kaleidoscope shenanigans.
