In this episode, I remind you of the upcoming Banned Books Week Challenge and give a brief  update about my guild's response to the challenge, and I officially (podcast-wise) announce the Scrapitude Mystery Quilt that has already been announced on my blog and in Twitter.

In this episode, I update my accomplishments during the Labor Day Sew-In last weekend (#LDSI), plus my Hawaii-Western NY Mash-up menu for my niece's party this weekend, plus what I'm working on now.

Announcing a new challenge! Also, update on where I've been and what I've been doing, including lots of quilty news and even a bit about yarn.

I am so glad to be able to share with you yet another great conversation! In this episode, I talk with fiber artist, author, and teacher Carol Ann Waugh. Carol's work brings together her love of hand-stitching, machine work, surface design and embellishment all to wonderful combinations of artistry. You can experience her, as I have, through her two classes on Craftsy: Stupendous Stitching and Stitch and Slash. Please take a few moments and visit Carol Ann Waugh's website. Especially visit her pages with upcoming gallery shows and workshops--maybe she'll be in your area soon!

If you're not interested in general life stuff and want to skip straight to quilting, cut to about the 30 minute mark. Otherwise, I talk about my recent trip to Kansas City and some entertaining and way cool things that happened while I was there, then I talk about current quilt projects and give a shout-out to listeners and some changes in the quilt podcast world. See my website at www.quiltingfortherestofus.com.

In this episode, I talk with fiber artist, author, and teacher Jane Dunnewold. For show notes and links, visit www.quiltingfortherestofus.com.

In this episode, I have a conversation with quilt teacher, designer, and author Wendy Butler Berns about definitions of "art quilt,"  how to find your artistic voice, connections between quilt genres, and what Wendy's guiding word might be. See www.quiltingfortherestofus.com for more.

I just got home from quilt retreat and have some stuff to talk about! Meanwhile, don't forget the Kimberly Einmo giveaway--be sure to enter by Wednesday, May 22! Also, here's the link for the Genesee Valley Quilt Show: www.geneseequiltfest.com.

Honey, I'm home! I'm back from AQS QuiltWeek in Paducah, KY, and lived to tell about it. More or less. In this episode, I describe my experiences in Paducah, including a meet-up with a listener, scalping tickets to a class, and a conversation with a very nice police officer. Oh, and quilts. Plus I announce the winners of my 3rd Podcastaversary Giveaway, and what's up for the next episode! Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I announce the new Project Hope Online Quilt Show that Sandi Colwell of QuiltCabanaCorner and I are co-hosting; I also let you know about a new-to-me app and what's going on in my life, as well as giving a little preview of my trip to AQS QuiltWeek at Paducah tomorrow.

It's my third podcastaversary and I announce a great giveaway! Please go to www.quiltingfortherestofus.com and click on "Podcast" for show notes and giveaway.

Having tested my feed, I now feel confident this one will work just fine! In this episode I update you on my progress with Laura Wasilowsky's Hand-Stitched Collage Quilts in Craftsy, make a mini-not-quite-an-announcement-yet about my Third Podcastaversary Giveaway, explain my new website, and some listener feedback. (No comments on Podbean--all comments are now on www.quiltingfortherestofus.com, click on "Podcast.")

This is not an episode, this is a test. I talk for five minutes about current projects (sort of) just to see if my podcast feed is still working. Let me know if it is!

I'm back from vacation and feeling well-rested and rarin' to... slow down. Sound like a mixed metaphor or oxymoron or something? Check out the creative bytes in this episode to find out what toggle switch just got flipped for me and why. In addition to some highlights from Louisiana, I also talk about my experience doing the Kimberly Einmo Mystery Quilt on Craftsy and where I think I'm heading next. I announce a new "-Along" to keep us entertained, and mention some books I've been reading. A little listener feedback and some information about Google Readers' impending demise, and we have us an episode! Mentioned in this episode: Feedly (replacement for Google Reader) at www.feedly.com Laura Wasilowsky's Hand-Stitched Collage Quilts on Craftsy Deborah Crombie's Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James series Terri Thayer's Quilting Mystery series Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia mystery series

I'm finally back! February was pretty much a waste. But now it's March 1 and I'm there with bells on! In this episode I announce the winner of the book giveaway courtesy Sarah of Houston; I give some Sandy Update about why I dropped off the face of the earth for three weeks; I talk about my adventure in hand-dyeing; and I do some listener feedback. Mentioned in this episode Jane Dunnewold's class The Art of Cloth Dyeing on Craftsy Malka Dubrawsky's class Fabric Patterning with Wax Resist on Craftsy Art Cloth: A Guide to Surface Design for Fabric by Jane Dunnewold (this is the book I bought after taking her class, but couldn't remember the title when recording my podcast) Dharma Trading Co. is where I bought my PFD fabrics and is a great source for dye and fiber art supplies

Sandy Raw and Uncut. I didn't edit this episode so I apologize for any sniffles or squeaks you may hear. Fortunately, you can't catch my cold through the airwaves. In this episode (thanks to Nonnie!) all y'all weighed in with your thoughts on reading quilt magazines and quilt books in their print version versus digital, and then I give my two cents. This topic was spurred by this blog post sent to me by Nonnie: http://blog.caronmosey.com/2013/01/the-future-of-quilting-books-and.html Leave your comments here to enter in the giveaway sponsored by Sarah in Houston (yay, Sarah!). To win her copy of Afghans and Throws by Luise Roberts, just leave a comment on this episode telling me why I should learn how to knit--how it would change my life. Points awarded for creativity and entertainment value! Comments must be received by or on Sunday, February 17.

This episode is a mystery. Yep--I look back on my experience doing a mystery quilt. I also announce winners of the 2013 Quilty Resolutions Giveaway, seek input for an upcoming episode, have a very short creative bytes and Sandy Update, and spend just a little time with listener comments.
