In this episode I talk about an extraordinarily productive weekend! Leaving for Lancaster on Tuesday makes a great deadline for me to get a lot done. I talk about my Disappearing Pinwheel, my Scrapitude quilt, some more work on the postcard, and getting class supplies and cutting done for Lancaster. And, of course, a little listener feedback.
Episode 147 In Which We Talk Scraps and Spas and Shape-Cuts 2-23-14
In this episode, I announce the 2014 Quilty Resolution First Quarter Check-in, then talk about Scrapitude, spa-days, and the Shape-Cut ruler. I also give a brief review of the Great Courses lecture series "How Colors Affect You: What Science Reveals" (which I mistakenly referred to as "The Science of Color" in the episode), and talk about three fitness-related apps: FitBolt, EarnedIt, and Every Move.
Episode 143 In Which I Build a Cutting Table for MLKSI 1-19-14
My weekend took a sharp left turn when I decided, spur of the moment, that it was time to finally get that darn cutting table into my life. Admittedly, I was probably really too worn out to record a podcast after getting the cutting table (mostly) done, so this episode may be a hair rambly. But I talk about the whys and wherefores, although I'll leave it to a later blog post to give specs and pictures. Also in this episode: a little more about the Disappearing 9-Patch, Scrapitude, and Crafty Classes...and, finally, some listener feedback! Woo!

Episode 119 In Which I Do Another Mystery Quilt (Or Two) 3-18-13
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 next.
