I love The podcast! Always look forward to it!
I just discovered your podcast and am really enjoying it. I have so many to catch up on. Thank you for the great giveaway!
You have the Best podcasts!! Always informative AND entertaining! I’ve watched all the videos discussed and today I started Jack Ryan!!
I just found your blog and really like your style!
I always look forward to a new podcast from you.
I like the only one pattern that you mentioned. I think I would need to put a border around it. I have not gotten up to the current season of The Crown. I too would struggle with the new cast member that play Black Jack Randall in Outlander.
Fantastic giveaway! I just recently heard about the clappers and at first I have to admit I kept thinking of the infomercial clappers that turn on/off lights ?.
I have loved your podcast from the beginning — haven’t missed a-one! I think Frances referred me to your first one. Great giveaway! Thank you for your generosity.
Thanks for a wonderful podcast that’s keeps me company while I sew. The ironing station sounds like such a great idea!
Hah! Putting a quilt in time out opens a whole new world instead of calling it a UFO!
I recently found your podcast and I really enjoy it! Today I need to clean for a visit from my mom, so I’m glad there is a new episode to listen to. (I’ve been catching up on past episodes and getting lots of book ideas – loved How to Find Love in a Bookshop and I’m anxiously waiting for the second Clifton Chronicles book to be ready for me on Libby.) Thank you for the opportunity to win the lovely giveaway.
Your Blog is a good read.
I love your podcast! I love anything to do with quilting and reading. Thank you. Oh…and I had never even heard of loose tea leaves til I found your podcast. 🙂
What an amazing giveaway! I think you’ll bring Christmas early to the lucky winner Kristin!
I’ve added a tailor’s clapper to my wish list (in case I’m not the lucky winner). I keep intending to purchase one; it seems like such a good idea.
What a great giveaway! I really enjoy listening to your podcast.
What a fabulous giveaway!!!! That little pink iron is just the cutest!
I make stuff for people if I think they will like it. But what I like to do is make small thing for prizes for my family’s Christmas games (mostly bingo and card games). We all bring things to donate as prizes ( lots of cleanse stuff from the prior Christmas ?)
I just found your podcast and love it! I like the variety of things you talk about!
Wow! I have looked at these little iron so many times and wouldn’t spend the money for them. I think that would be awesome to have right at your side as you’re working. Oh I’d love to win this one 🙂
I’m not gonna lie….dont think I have ever listened to a pod cast lol. Will definitely have to check it out!
I follow you on Instagram, now I need to follow your blog, thanks!
I really look forward to your podcast! I enjoy the different topics and your relaxing style! Thank you.

Great giveaway! Thanks=)
Love those ornaments! Going to make some this vacation! Thank you for sharing!
Such a great giveaway. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for all you do!
Love your podcast. Peaceful voice and creative inspiration. I usually listen twice actually. Enjoy hearing about your quilting and knitting but also book and tv recomendations. Thank you for taking the time to create your podcast.
Thank you for the fabulous giveaway opportunity!
Perfect little setup
Love the podcast and listening to someone local (I’m in Ventura).
I’ve been following on IG for a while now, but this was my first time listening to your podcast. I enjoyed it very much; you have a great “radio voice,” if that is a thing. ? Thank you so much for putting the time in to record it.
I’m new to your blog. How do I subscribe?
My daughter and I would love to use this!
Absolutely love the podcast! The give away… Wowser!
I too am a Rosmund Pilcher fan. Shell Seekers is a friend!
I enjoy visiting with you each time you drop a new podcast. Thanks for all the chats!
I look forward to listening to your podcast every two weeks or so! I enjoy hearing what you are drinking, making, reading, and watching. 🙂
I have heard so much about these irons! Loved your podcast and look forward to listening to many more. Do you think you will ever revisit the hand pieced challenge? I found your site and FB group late and would love to find a sew along to keep me motivated.
What a great giveaway! I’m still getting my sewing room set up after being displaced for 13 months from Hurricane Florence, and a portable pressing station would be a perfect addition. Oh, and I made a couple of those folded fabric ornaments last year while still in the hotel.
This would be amazing! I am non-stop ironing stars and squares, and this would be so helpful.
I’m really enjoying your podcast,! You’re 15 minute suggestion has been a game changer for me. I feel I’m accomplishing something every day. I just heard about the Tailors clapper recently and thought it was a great tool! Looking forward to your future podcasts!
I enjoy your Podcast. It kept me company while making my Thanksgiving sides today.
I always look forward to your podcast. I’d use this ironing station with children, as each year I teach a group of children basic sewing skills at my school with one sewing machine. It’s busy but makes for a fun lunchtime during cold indoor winter recesses.
Amazing giveaway!
I follow on Facebook
and Instagram.
Happy Holidays.
Carla from Utah
I always enjoy your podcasts. My sister made those ornaments a few years ago, and so I have one for my tree. I look forward to seeing how yours turn out.
