Thanks for doing these podcasts. I love to hand piece and hand quilt and it’s nice to have something quilty to listen to. It’s like having a friend in the room with me. Here is a book recommendation- Educated-writiten by Tara Westover.
Love the podcast, still don’t get the cleaning videos! 🙂
Was the WIP Happily Scrappily Irish? I made that Bonnie Hunter quilt as a leader/ender and loved it. That was the first time I tried “fancy” quilting in the negative space. I like how it turned out, but I’m also prefer piecing so I’m not in a hurry to do more! We have to convince people how motivating those cleaning videos are! ?
I have just discovered your podcasts and I have so many similarities, with crafting, knitting and similar aged children. I have love your tips and anecdotes. Makes my drives to work so much more enjoyable
Me again, just one thing, you mention the knitted dishcloths and I would like to pattern or link to the pattern if this is posssible?
Love your podcosts-I’ve been listening to your old podcasts this summer while I take my walks. I am interested in the knitted dish cloth also. Not that I need another craft but would love something to do while I watch TV or ride in the car.
