    This week, the girls had a whole lot of fun catching up! Rochelle took us down memory lane with a fantastic story about her college friend Jarma and her accordion skills, all while sharing the latest scoop on her clogging classes. But the excitement didn't stop there; it was a rollercoaster of credit card adventures, including a swift response to fraud and some relatable tales of less-than-stellar customer service. In the midst of all the grown-up business, there was even chat about attending the American State Fair and the logistics of getting a cuckoo clock cleaned—because who doesn't need to discuss classic timepieces alongside credit card woes? We heard all about Rochelle and Lance’s very cold backyard camping trip, which was a true test of gear and endurance, followed by a thrilling outdoor climbing session complete with rope rescue techniques.

    Clogs, Cookies and Chaos

    Hey, quilty friends! Leslie and Rochelle just had a wild chat covering everything but the kitchen sink. Rochelle is fully committed to her new life as a Clogger and Rock Climber, having danced for four hours straight and tackled a challenging climb. Meanwhile, Leslie is recovering from a baking disaster that involved a batch of burnt chocolate chip cookies. The entertainment front was equally chaotic, with a deep-dive on the book Project Hail Mary and a recommendation for the movie Song Sung Blue (yes, the one with Neil Diamond songs). They wrapped up this segment by discussing the concept of finding joy in the small stuff—the "borrowed light rule"—a perfect motto for this duo's adventures. The upcoming Galentine's event is set to be a blast, with 33 kits already cut for hilarious-sounding projects like 'Love Stinks' and the 'Mushroom King.' The biggest news is that the 'Inappropriate Quilters' retreat at Osage Hills Retreat Center is already sold out—talk about high demand! They even had a chat about the seasonal slowness of quilt production, which gives them time to plan for future fun like bunting and prosperity hens. Plus, Leslie's fabulous long-arm machine, Esther, got a shout-out. The immediate to-do list is focused on setting up a retreat waitlist and getting Rochelle the right tap plates for her new clogging shoes. Enjoy!

    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!
