QOF Episode 58 - Kim Niedzwiecki Talks Social Media Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

Kim Neidzweicki is a sewist, quilter, and pattern designer with a passion for social media. One thing I loved hearing from her on the podcast is that no one is really a social media guru or maven because it changes every single day. We get massive doses of the unknown from social media and there is so much pressure to go viral. It is intimidating. You finally figure out how to make a reel on Instagram and then TikTok comes along and steals the show. The hardest part of it all is just going gloves off and diving into the ring to try everything. It’s new to everyone. We are not alone. And Kim is out there spreading the word about how people can grow.

Show notes

I’ve been so excited to have Berene Campbell on the show. I first heard of her when my local Okanagan Modern Quilt Guild hired her as a speaker. I loved every word she said. She was heartwarming and inspiring to say the least, and our guild then took on her Mini Mod Swap which is a challenge for the Handmade Collective Awards which we talk about today on the show. Secondly, she’s a delightful person. Berene is a quilt pattern designer, teacher, speaker and community project instigator. Her patterns have been admired by the likes of Tula Pink and her community and charity projects have raised over 35,000 thousand dollars and inspired quilters all over the world.

Show notes

It's Episode 52! Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of 2022. I cannot think of a better topic to start off the year than ergonomics, efficiency & organization. It’s kind of like a new year’s resolution except wouldn’t it be great if we could do this all year round? My guest today is Lois Hallock. She is a quilter, a professional Engineer and a professional organizer. It sounds like a perfect combination to me. I met her in the fall at the Houston Quilt Festival and you know I love talking about studios so I loved meeting her to find out what she has a passion for and what she offers in her business. She actually had a full room at Quilt Fest and does private studio consultations. Lois has professionally designed hundreds of quilting studios and has been published numerous times in magazines.
