  • EP 183 QuiltnLearn with Bea Byrne
    Nov 19 2024

    Today we'll chat QuiltnLearn with Bea Byrne! Between her career in tech/events and her love of textiles/quilting, Bea Byrne realized that organizing and hosting online conferences in the quilting world is her jam. Having planned knitting events in the UK, and toured around travellers to crafty spots when she lived in Japan, to her recent guild show committee work where she lives now in the USA, Bea has a passion for “if you build it they will come” with her online events.

    There were so many great takeaways from this episode about an event planner bringing together quilters in a way that welcomes everyone from those who want to purchase the VIP experience to those who want to binge watch the free event while it’s happening.

  • QOF Episode 179 - Karen Kay Buckley
    Oct 23 2024

    My guest today is Karen Kay Buckley! She is a multiple award-winning quilter whose work is instantly recognizable. And part of the reason for that is that she’s been featured on the covers of 18 magazines! And when I say multiple award-winning we are talking about a dozen Best of Show Awards! She is known for the strong visual impact of her medallion quilts and her brilliant use of colour. She’s had prestigious acquisitions of her quilts by the National Quilt Museum in Paducah and even by a Senator’s wife in the US Capitol!

    I was so thrilled to land an interview with this icon in the quilting industry that we chatted for over 3 hours. You are going to love her candid talk about standing up for yourself and valuing your work! Karen was voted Teacher of the Year in 1997 by Professional Quilter Magazine and I'm delighted to share her story with you.

  • QOF Episode 178 - Chris English
    Oct 15 2024

    My guest today is Chris English. He makes heirloom quality quilts from a variety of fabrics using old clothes and giving fabric a new lease on life. I first saw his quilts at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham two years ago and I loved every stitch, the use of colour, and every title of his message driven quilts. He studied textile design at university and has become a quiltmaker with a passion.
