What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Have been enjoying this easy listening podcast from Kristin for awhile now and each episode is like hearing from a friend. Kristin shares the ups & downs of life at home with her family while trying to find time for hobbies like quilting & reading and the general trying to keep a busy life in order. Look forward to each episode!

Marsha.sewhappy · Aug 2020

I’m really enjoying this podcast with Kristen. She has great suggestions for quilting, homemaking and reading, etc. I, too am obsessed with Inspector Gamache and love all the Bristish mystery shows. Love listening while I’m sewing!

Jhardgrave · Aug 2020

I love listening to Kristin talk about her (our) hobbies and homemaking. It feels like a chat with a friend. So comfortable and interesting.

skdfjsdkfjie · Aug 2020

I am always looking for a great quilting podcast. So glad to have discovered this one. All of Kristin’s topics are right down my alley. I’m looking forward to going back and listening from the beginning. Thank you Kristin, for sharing your life with us. I was missing some of the quilting podcasts that have gone away. This is a great one. Kristin, I love hand sewing the binding, too!
