Awesome podcast!

Just dropping a note to let you know I just love this podcast!! So fun and inspiring! I’ve found so many amazing quilters and resources from you and your guests! I could sew, talk about sewing, or listen to others talk about sewing ALL DAY! Thank you!!

Great modern quilt resource

Quilt Buzz hosts let their phenomenal guests take center stage and (gratefully) keep chatty fill to a minimum. There’s a lightening round at the end, which humanizes their superstar guests and is a lot of fun. Big bonus to new quilters like me and others who like to keep learning is that each episode’s show notes has dozens of links to social media, instructional blogs, and other things mentioned during the course of the interview. (Thank you for that. It’s no small job.) I’m eager to go back to episodes I’ve missed before finding this podcast.
