Episode 222 In Which We Review Books on Scraps 6-25-24

In this episode I do the usual (if brief) catch-up on my current quilting projects, review some books, and respond to listener comments including a discussion of using lines on your mat rather than your ruler. Also, a listener question for you: Have you been on a quilt tour? If so, what was your experience?

Episode 216 In Which I'm Log Cabining 3-17-24

Hello, World!

In this episode, I talk briefly about what kept me away since my last episode, but mostly talk quilty!

Referenced in this episode:

Janome 1/4” sewing foot with guide

Janome 1/4” sewing foot without guide

I can’t find the 1/4” foot I have with the red lines online—maybe it’s discontinued. This one is close, but it has the flange guide that mine does not have.

Oops. On the episode I referred to the tape I was using as “tiger tape” but it’s diagonal seam tape from Cluck Cluck Sew. Tiger tape is the one you use in embroidery/hand sewing to give you even lines.

The “seam guide doohickey” I mentioned in the episode is the Guidelines4Quilting Seam Guide Setter.

Creative Grids Curvy Log Cabin Trim Tool (this link is for the 8” size; you can buy it multiple places)

Creative Grids Wonky Log Cabin Trim Tool (10”)

Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool (this link is for 6” and 12” on the same ruler—there are multiple options here too)

For the Accuquilt Log Cabin die, if you want to help support this podcast/blog you can use the Accuquilt link on my home page to get to Accuquilt and search “log cabin die.” I’m an affiliate. Thank you!

Episode 157 In Which I Went on Retreat 5-19-14

Okay, so I actually recorded this on Monday night but am just getting around to posting it tonight. Oops. But nothing's gone out of date, so we're good! In this episode, I talk about what I accomplished on retreat, and include a few product recommendations and reviews. Pictures of my retreat projects will appear on the blog later.

In this episode:

"Building Blocks" pattern by Jackie of Sew Excited Designs, available on Craftsy (Definitely check it out!)

Sew-Ezi Table

Quick Ripper seam ripper (The price seems to vary a bit every time I look at it on Amazon, so keep an eye on it.)

Banjees wrist wallet by Sprigs

Dog collar purses by Daisy Couture (And yes, most of you could make those yourselves. I prefer to support someone else's desire to make them. But I don't need to talk about that again.)

Episode 146 In Which I Didn't Have a PDSI 2-18-14

I'm back after a bit of a break due to life. Oops. In any case, in this episode, I announce the winners of the 2014 Quilty Resolutions Giveaway, talk a little bit about Savannah and some fabric shops there, explain why I didn't end up getting much done during PDSI (President's Day Sew-In), and share themes I saw in your responses to the 2014 Quilty Resolutions. Have fun!

Episode 132 In Which I Talk BBW and Scrapitude 9-13-13

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.
