In this episode I chat about not going to QuiltCon, quilting projects, and a tribute to one of my favorite authors, Rosamunde Pilcher.

I mentioned that if I were a garment sewer I would love to sew a blouse with the wovens from the Boro line. Here is a garment pattern writer showing how she did just that!

I simply love your podcast. your recommendations for TV shows, books and your organizing tips and tricks are great. I’m so happy that I found your podcast.
Kristin,
First, I love your podcast! I always feel like I am there with you and chat back (of course you can’t hear me though so I thought I need to leave an official comment) :). I am, in theory, participating in your hand pieced quilt along. I have had a very hard time picking my fabrics but QuiltCon gave me some inspiration I have been lacking for quite awhile, so now I have my fabrics picked. I am going to cut and mark a couple blocks this weekend and take them to work to do at lunch. I am so excited that I am finally about to start it, even though it is actually finished.
I heard you mention in this podcast that next year QuiltCon is going to Portland Oregon but it’s actually going to be in Austin Texas. That should be doable for you since you are in So Cal right? I just found out through Frances, my favorite quilt fiction author, quilter and podcaster ever, (hers is actually the first quilt podcast I every listened to and I have been hooked since) that it will be in Atlanta in 2021. With me being only five hours away here in Southern Middle Tn I will definitely go to that one if the good Lord is willing! I hope you can come to that one since I probably won’t be able to get to Austin. I would love to meet you! I really do love your podcast and for some reason you inspire me to want to be a better rounded individual. I have gotten into reading again and you mentioned an author in this podcast ( I will have to scroll for her name again) that I want to give a try. I also think I might start watching Marie Condo thanks to you. I love the way you said your daughter (Chloe,right?) came home and started cleaning out her books. I recently did that too and it was very tough. I got rid of about 5 bankers boxes filled with books but I still have too many. I hope I can get rid of more later.
Anyway, enough about me. Thank you for all the work you put into making the podcast and tutorials. I look forward to hearing your new podcast and I always await anxiously for the next one! Keep up the awesome work and Happy One Year Podcastiversary! XO Cyndi in Tennessee
