Quilters from all skill levels shared stories about confidence, creative growth, frustration, and why they keep coming back to their sewing rooms. This episode isn’t a sew along recap. It’s a conversation about why quilting community matters—why progress photos, unfinished blocks, and stitching alongside others (even from afar) make a difference. If you love quilting podcasts about community, creative process, sew alongs, and the real experience of being a quilter, this episode is for you.   We’re Covering: • Quilting community and connection • Sew along experiences and lessons • Progress over perfection • Why quilters keep showing up • Stories from the Sweater Weather Sampler Sew Along   If you would like to share your quilting story, I’d love to hear it!

    Ep 018: A Must-Watch for Makers - My Honest Review of the Netflix Documentary "The Quilters"

    May 16th was marked in my calendar as the day to tune into Netflix to watch the award-winning documentary, The Quilters. The short documentary (33 min) directed by Jenifer McShane chronicles the stories of men in a Missouri Maximum security prison to spend their days designing and sewing quilts for foster children in the surrounding communities. As a lifelong quilter and lover of storytelling through stitches, I was deeply touched by the themes of healing, redemption, and unexpected community. I’ll share my personal reflections on the documentary, highlight a few of my favorite moments, and talk about why I believe this story matters to every quilter. If you're passionate about the legacy of quilting, the power of creativity to connect generations, or simply love a story that warms the heart, this episode is for you. Tune in for inspiration, insight, and a beautiful reminder of why quilts—and the people who make them—matter.
