    All I Want For Christmas

    This week on the show, Leslie and Rochelle got together for a delightful chat that covered everything from custom bling to future crafting adventures! The duo gushed over fabulous new loot, including gorgeous custom bags made by Reba and a thoughtful surprise from Debbie Mitchell. They also took a moment to appreciate the kindness of their community, all while chatting about exciting events like the upcoming Quilters Affair in Sisters, Oregon, which is absolutely packed with renowned teachers. So much fiber-filled fun out there! Shifting gears to the business of beautiful quilts, Rochelle gave a real-time update on her longarm quilting work, which hit a snag thanks to a pesky blown fuse. The machine is currently benched while waiting for a replacement part to arrive by the weekend, which sadly meant letting customers know their Christmas quilts would be a bit late. However, it wasn't all trouble, as Leslie excitedly shared her new love for new SewTites magnets for her leaders that are making the process so much easier! A new t-shirt quilt project is also on deck, requiring some careful piecing and centering on the longarm. The conversation concluded by touching on family notes, including Rochelle's father's death anniversary and some humorous family tales. This is a good one that you won't want to miss!

    Welcome back, everyone! We're diving in and this one was a festive mix of holiday chaos and serious stitching insights! The girls kicked things off with a wild discussion about the Elf on the Shelf and that age-old dilemma of needing last-minute gifts, which led to a brilliant hack for turning Moda quilt panels into personalized pillows—genius! They also got real about the ups and downs of long-arm quilting, including an epic tale of accidentally quilting a bobbin into a custom project, proving even the pros have "oops" moments. But hey, managing mistakes and mastering tension with a new gauge just means more lessons learned! But the fun didn't stop there! The group zipped right into planning mode, catching up on the latest buzz about QuiltCon—fire and all—and sharing exciting details about upcoming retreats, including one in sunny Hawaii. Also get the scoop on some heartwarming personal stories, like the quilter who unexpectedly picked up three new custom jobs after attending an hour-and-a-half-long San Antonio wedding!

    Sisterhood of the Stitch

    Get ready to dive into the creative heart of the quilting community, kicking off with Hawaiian quilt projects and the exciting world of needle felting. Rochelle shared some fantastic tips, including using dollar store dog brushes to blend wool roving and noting that higher-numbered needles achieve a finer felt. They both highlighted a great mix of detailed crafting techniques, personal project updates, and shout-outs to local shops and fellow quilters. It wasn't all just thread and wool—we also got some wonderful personal updates, from hemming pants for grandchildren to Leslie and Rochelle's hair updates. The team celebrated new projects, like a 3D gift bow pillow kit from Foxy's Kits and Quilts and shared a funny story about a 2:30 AM credit card crisis while registering for a ShipShawana event. The discussion wrapped up with a focus on community, covering everything from the benefits of Fix It Adhesive for wool appliqué to heartfelt reflections on gratitude, mentorship, and the importance of sisterhood.

    The Dinky Dinky Episode

    In this hilariously chaotic quilting retreat, the Inappropriate Quilters gathered with special guests Lina Owens from Bluebell Designs and Dee Bushrod from Pixel Quilts for a spicy, laughter-filled conversation spanning cultural traditions, quilting projects, and plenty of inappropriate tangents! The group shared stories about their multicultural backgrounds, with Lina discussing her recently launched bilingual quilting book (the first in the industry) and Dee revealing how her pixel quilt of the Queen actually received a response from Buckingham Palace. Between fits of laughter, they discussed upcoming collaborations, including a joint retreat at Hamilton Quilt Retreats where Dee and Rochelle will be teaching pixel quilts and pet portraits featuring Winky, Dee's one-eyed rescue pug who apparently "rules the house." The conversation took numerous wild turns as the quilters shared Colombian New Year's traditions like running around the neighborhood with luggage at midnight, eating twelve grapes while making wishes, and wearing specific colored underwear for love or money in the coming year. Amidst all the quilting talk, the group couldn't help but veer into hilarious tangents about flat feet, googly eyes mysteriously appearing in underwear, and the dream of getting Dee's pixel quilts to celebrities like Post Malone and Jelly Roll. The meeting wrapped up with a heartfelt moment acknowledging the importance of friendship and collaboration in the quilting industry, ending with a Bob Ross-inspired quote: "The secret to doing anything is believing you can do it."

    Quilters Go Wild at Cherry Springs Retreat

    The Inappropriate Quilters met at Cherry Springs Retreat Center in Texas, where they discussed their journey there, including Leslie's stop at Moda warehouse and Dee's experience with traffic in Waco. They shared stories about their current quilting projects, including Rochelle's pixel quilt of a Nutcracker and Dee's Elizabeth Hartman Show and Tell pattern featuring animals holding miniature quilts. They talked about Rochelle's handmade "Cowgirl Chic" outfit for an upcoming event, complete with needle-felted cats in cowboy hats, red fringe, and rhinestone-decorated boots. A highlight of their retreat was when Deb pranked Rochelle by placing over 200 googly eyes on her belongings, from her earbuds to her sewing supplies, which everyone found hilarious. The quilters enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere at the retreat, noting how everyone worked quietly on their projects for eight hours straight, which they attributed to the lack of noise distractions that typically plague other retreats. They appreciated Sarah Nichols' hospitality at Cherry Springs Retreat, mentioning amenities like instant hot water and comfortable accommodations for up to nine people. Before concluding, Rochelle shared an insightful thought about the "invisible guest phenomenon," reminding everyone that at social gatherings, most people are too concerned with their own appearance and behavior to judge others, which can be freeing when attending holiday parties. BIG Texas THANK YOU to Sarah and the local quilters who came to meet Leslie and Rochelle during their stay. What a great treat! Enjoy!
