QOF Episode 138 - Kimberlee & Mr. Bones Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! It's another great spooky themed episode with my guest Kimberly Peers-Moore. She is a quilt maker, a social media influencer, and the creator of Mr. Bones. He is a tiny skeleton who loves to sew, craft, and bake, and Kimberly has created a wonderful little world for us to follow along on his adventures.
In her TikTok profile, she writes, creating your daily dose of skeletonin, which is so cute. She humbly lurks behind the scenes of this Mr. Bones world, but she is exceptionally funny, and I can't wait to dive into a super fun Halloween episode.
To find Kimberlee and her adventures go to @Mr.Bones_Sews on TikTok, Instagram or Facebook.

QOF Episode 137 - Samantha Krebsbach Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

My guest today is Samantha Krebsbach. I first met Samantha at QuiltCon last year when I stopped her in her tracks to ask her about her quilted runners. They were purple patchwork with ombre laces and rainbow stitching and I wanted to take them home with me. When I started to chat with her, I realized that she is a pattern designer, she does professional edge to edge long arm services, and custom laser cutting. And she's also the inventor of a notion you just might have to add to your toolbox if you love English paper piecing.

QOF Episode 129 - Scott Culley Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

My guest today is Scott Culley. He is a quilt artist, upcycled architect, husband, and father of two who has become known on the quilting scene for his foundation paper pieced portraits and masks. He has brought to the world the incredible pictorial quilts you will see below.

This week on the podcast, we dive into a great conversation about the masks we use in our lives for many different reasons. Sometimes we hide behind a mask. Sometimes we realize we've been masking and strive to unpeel those layers to find ourselves. And other times we put on the show of a glorious mask in order to feel and reveal our true selves to the world.
