    2024 Thankful Notes Week 2

    This is the second out of three weeks that we get to share these short and sweet Thankful notes of guests that were on A Quilter’s Life in 2024. “The best way to show my gratitude is to accept everything, even my problems, with joy” is a quote from Mother Teresa.  I have seen this gratitude and thankfulness in the wonderful quilters that I get to share here on A Quilter’s Life podcast. Did you play along in the last episode to try to remember each guest?  How many did you remember? On this episode we have 12 more guests sharing what they are thankful for.  I'm curious if you’ll remember them all?  You might just have to go back and listen to their episodes again.  I have loved hearing each one of their stories and it’s amazing how much of it comes back to me when I listen to their Thankful Notes. I don’t always remind you about looking on A Quilter’s Life website to see the quilts these precious guests have made.  What a wonderful craft we all share!   Jackie Perry Jackie's Episode   Jan Lockhart Jan's Episode   Holly Sprout Holly's Episode   Connect with Carrie Dell American Quilt Study Group website: AQSG Facebook: American Quilt Study Group Instagram: americanquiltstudygroup YouTube: American Quilt Study Group Carrie's Episode   Connect with Teri Tope Website:  Teri Tope Facebook:  Teri Tope Instagram:  teritope Teri's Episode   Connect with Lisa Shepard Stewart Website: Cultured Expressions Instagram: culturedexpressions Facebook: Cultured Expressions Lisa's Episode   Robyn Capps Robyn's Episode   Connect with Mary Shepherd Find out more about Mary’s book, Free Motion Murder on her website Mariners’ Compass Murders.

    2024 Thankful Notes Week 1

    As we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States I decided to again share the Thankful Notes that I gathered from guests on A Quilter’s Life this past year.  2023 was the first year I tried this and it was fun to gather these notes from each guest to be able to share such positive praises. It was surprising when I looked at the list of guests that some of these were recorded almost a year ago, because it seems like we just chatted yesterday. I think last year many of us enjoyed playing along as we listened to the Thankful Notes to see how many of the guests we remembered.  Let’s do it again.  If you’re following A Quilter’s Life on Social Media go ahead and type in the number of guests that you remembered.   Below I have the list of guests with links to contact them along with  a link to their episode if you missed their story. I want to thank each guest that shared what they were thankful for.  This was so much fun to include in the interview process. The Thankful Notes are broken down into four episodes.  Three of these episodes will be the guests and the fourth will be Guthrie and I sharing our Thanksgiving for 2024.  This first episode will have the first 10 guests.   Connect with Susan Smith Website:  Stitched By Susan Facebook:  StitchedBySusan Instagram:  stitchedbysusan Pinterest:  Sitched By Susan / Long arm quilter & teacher YouTube:  StitchedBySusan Susan's Episode   Connect with Sarah Fulks Website: SnuggleBugStitching Instagram: snugglebugstitching Facebook: Snugglebugstitching Etsy: SnuggleBugStitching Sarah's Episode   Connect with Audra Rasnake on her Etsy Shop In The Sanctuary Audra's Episode   Connect with Tori McElwain Website: The Quilt Patch by Tori FaceBook: Tori McElwain Instagram: quilt_patch And Tori’s YouTube – Coffee Chats with Quilters a href="https://aquilterslife.com/episodes/tori-mcelwain-2024-update/" target="_blank"...

    Kathryn Mykel 2024 Update

    I first interviewed Kathryn LeBlanc in 2021.  It just doesn’t seem like three and a half years have passed since then.  This is our fourth visit and I’m thrilled to get to share with you what Kathryn has been up to.  She continues to write lighthearted, humorous cozy mysteries under the pen name Kathryn Mykel and has published so many fun books that include her passion for the craft of quilting.  I purposely am sharing her interview now so that you will have time to check them out for gifts this year.  It might be something you want to put on your own Christmas list or a gift for someone you know.  Kathryn is even offering a special bundle for the holiday season which you can find on her website authorkathrynmykel.com/store .  I do not have an affiliate with Kathryn, so I am not receiving any compensation for promoting her business.     Links for Kathryn: Website: Author Kathryn Mykel Facebook: Dragonfly’s Quilting Design Studio Instagram: Dragonfly’s Quilting Design Studio

    Jenifer Gaston

    I am so glad that Jenifer Gaston listened to the Quilting on the Side podcast episode where Andi and Tori interviewed me.  Jeni and I didn’t know each other even though we only live about 15 minutes apart.  After our interview for this episode on A Quilter’s Life, we continued to chat and found out that she had known my husband’s grandmother and even had been in my house years ago.  How do you like that for coincidence! Jeni's favorite quilt.  A Life of Plenty. Here's a quilt that Jeni's mom made.  Jeni showed me the hand stitching and you could see how it changed over the years that her mom worked on it.  What a treasture. Jeni used her Mom's Featherweight and a toy sewing machine that she had when growing up as decorations in her studio. Primitive Quilts and Projects Magazine Some of the Rugs Jeni made that she had in her studio.  Then she showed me how she made them. Connect with Jeni Website: Woolen Willow Designs Instagram: jenifergaston Facebook: Jenifer Falcsik Gaston During the interview we talk about Jeni’s fabric line with Marcus Fabrics called Scrap Happy.  Somehow I forgot to mention the name of it in the interview and wanted to make sure I mentioned it here.

    Emily Dodd

    Emily Dodd’s roots run deep in the desert of West Texas and she believes there is nothing like a desert sunset to inspire creativity.  She lives there with her husband and babies, and it is where her heart feels at home. When Emily is not sewing, she’s probably chasing babies, drinking coffee, or working at the hospital where she practices the art of medicine. Quilting though is where she always returns to relax, recharge, and reset. I want to mention that I was able to try Emily’s tip on not using as many pins when piecing curves and it worked wonderfully. This is the Prairie Queen quilt that Emily made with her Mawmaw. Connect with Emily Website: Dreamland Quilting Instagram: dremlandquilting Facebook: Dreamland Quilting Don't forget to check out Emily's podcast Patchwork Revival.  You can find it through her Dreamland Quilting website or on your favorite podcast player!   And Thanks to Megan for her part in connecting me with Emily.

    Reberta Hall

    We had to drive on back country roads in West Virginia to meet Reberta Hall.  Ginny Guthrie Caplinger had told me about Reberta a while back and I’m so glad it worked out for me to meet her.  Should I have been concerned when Ginny and her husband, Jim, climbed into the truck to take me and said to each other - Do you remember to get there?  And then at a fork in the road they again were - Which way? Oh well, we have all day to get there.  I just smiled and trusted them.  And I’m so thankful that we arrived, had a wonderful lunch, and of course the best part was getting to know Reberta! Throughout Reberta's story you’ll hear how she loved to sing and she loved poetry.  She shared several quilty poems, quilts, and pictures of her life which I'm sharing here below. This Flower Garden quilt was started for Reberta in 193o and finished for her daughter in 1951. Reberta loves Crazy Quilts.  Here she is with a special one that she keeps on her couch. Here are some other quilts that Reberta has made.  Her special cat, Sue Boy, used to enjoy them also. A couple of pictures of life.  Reberta and her cousin.  Then the second picture shows the car Rebeta learned to drive in.  Notice how deep the ruts in the road were.  This is the road that went past their front door.  You can see her house in the background.  It's now part of her driveway. Reberta painted this stool.  Doesn't the design look a bit like a quilt?  Isn't this collection of wooden spools amazing? img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3644"...

    Jean Pickering Collins

    Jean Pickering Collins is one of my heroes.  Every time I have the opportunity to chat with her she’s been on a new adventure.  It astounds me that she accomplishes so much and she makes such beautiful quilts.  I don’t know how she has gotten it all done.  And then here locally whenever her name comes up people have such glowing remarks to share about her. If you didn’t listen to my first interview with Jean from July 12th of 2019, you’ll want to go back and listen to her story. It’s hard to believe that on July 12, 2019 I released my first three episodes of A Quilter’s Life.  I purposely chose Jean to do this second interview to celebrate 5 years of recording and sharing stories of quilters.  Life happens and I ended up in the hospital overnight with bad headaches and double vision.  I am still dealing with these symptoms, but as the doctors help me to figure out what’s going on I’m still able to share these stories with you even with a few delays. When I arrived at Jean’s for this interview it was a beautiful day, so we left the doors open.  While listening you’ll figure out why that became a problem. You’ve also probably noticed that the first interview her name was Jean Pickering and in this interview we’ve added Collins.  Again, this adventurous lady will explain all of that. This is the Trip Around the World Quilt Jean made for her husband, Bill Collins. This quilt Jean made for her college class reunion in 2005. After the interview Jean showed me several of her quilts.  This Dresden Plate covers her bed. We started talking about small piecing and she pulled out this tiny Clam Shell she had done. Here are the tableclothes that Jean picked up in France and Portugal. If you missed Jean's prior interview here's the link: Jean Pickering
