Customer Reviews
Apq (All people quilt)
Great podcast to listen to. Very informative. I am a nurse and throughout the pandemic I had to work a lot of extra days. Listening to this podcast on my drives home helped me unwind and kept me connected to the sewing community.
Great Quilting Tips And Interesting Interviews
I have been quilting for 40 years, but the wonderful thing about quilting is that there is always something new to learn from other quilters. I like listening to this podcast while piecing and quilting at my sewing machine. They have very good tips, from new tools to make quilting easier, to bias cut piecing, to getting those pesky uneven blocks to fit together, to using pool noodles to baste your quilts. There are links to articles and videos to see these methods. I also really enjoy hearing about people making a difference in their communities through charity quilts, and their interviews with well known quilters and how they got started quilting.
OMG
Stop saying “like” and “you know.” Episode 595 Barns like drove me nuts like, you know!
