The Quilter on Fire Podcast

Latest Episodes:

QOF Episode 148 - Angie Knowles Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

My guest today is Angie Knowles. She is a mixed media textile artist and online educator. I have been her friend for years online and had the chance to meet her in person finally at QuiltCon 2022. She is really into experimentation and pushing the boundaries of a process or technique.
She takes it further than she thinks she can and then turns around and shares it with her audience. Her first online course is a series of classes on learning to design for your cutting machine. And her latest course is a wonderful exploration of rust dyeing fabric, which I absolutely love doing myself and I'm excited to explore the technique on the podcast.

QOF Episode 145 - Jacquie Gering Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

Jacquie Gering is a modern art quilter who likes to rethink quilting by listening and finding her own voice and translating that to textiles. She is known for her bold messages in quilting that make the viewer stop and think about what is happening in the world and how they can make a difference. She has accomplished so much in her quilting career and she is a sought after teacher and speaker, especially for walking foot quilting and I can’t wait to see what she brings to the stage as the featured speaker this year at QuiltCon 2024.

QOF Episode 143 - Luke Haynes Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

My guest today is Luke Haynes. You have heard mentions of him in past episodes with Zak, Heidi, and Joe the Quilter. I don't even have to use their last names, because if you've listened to those episodes, the stories they tell are now emblazoned in our hearts. But in this episode I'll be chatting with Luke Haynes.

He is known for an art practice in full view in the community, in the world. He puts his idea of comfort and utility through quilting into the public domain and starts conversations with every stitch and with every installation. He has quilts in the permanent collections of museums across the USA. He has been featured as innovative, influential, and a must see in major press across the nation, and he has mounted dozens of solo exhibitions of quilts with a purpose - to open up the conversation.

QOF Episode 142 - Gudrun Erla of GE Designs Dec 15, 2023

Show notes

Gudrun Erla is a pattern designer, writer, and is famous for creating her stripology rulers, but something that really caught my eye was the explosion in growth of her community over the pandemic by just giving the quilters what they need. When we all felt trapped at home with lockdowns, Gudrun created events that brought us together, doing what we love. Today, her business, GE Designs, has grown into a one stop shop for everything quilting.

QOF Episode 140 - Heidi Parkes Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

My guest today is Heidi Parkes. She is a quilter, textile artist, and yoga therapist. She is a sought after teacher and speaker on the quilting scene and has exhibited her work in art and textile museums across the US. I could hardly even write this little intro myself, because I loved every word in her bio on her website, so here's an excerpt from that; "Often using specific textiles, like an heirloom tablecloth, bedsheet, or cloth teabag, Heidi adds subtle meaning and material memory from the start. Engaging in the worlds of art, quilts, mending, and social media, Heidi is an advocate for the domestic realms, slow stitching, and mindfulness." - Heidi Parkes

That was so well written. I just had to use that in the intro. I hope you love this episode!

QOF Episode 139 - Zak Foster Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

My guest today is Zak Foster. He is a quilt maker who loves working with repurposed materials like old clothes, worn out linens, leftover shirting materials, and thrown out umbrellas even, and vintage tablecloths. He makes custom quilts and engages in some really cool ways with his quilting community online.
He's doing all kinds of fun stuff with friends and mentors, and I can't wait to get into this. It's going to be a conversation about using what you can use up to do what you love and so much more.
