Great show if you are new to quilting or have been doing it for years. I love the variety of guest that came on the show as well as the new techniques and tips. I learned to be a better quilter. Thank you!

You gals are fun to listen to. It’s like eavesdropping on your coffee date. Found you through Ro and Leslie at Inappropriate Quilters, and see a similar energy and joy in your pod. I just wish you’d dial down the generational stereotypes a bit… it’s a contrast to your “everyone is welcome at our table” awesomeness. We are more alike than we are different and one day you’ll realize how the years go by fast, but you often don’t FEEL older when you’re not technically young!!! Anyway, for those of us who are young and young at heart, we’re glad you are carrying on.

I just started quilting and came across this podcast and I love, love, love it! Better than others because it’s not just a YouTube video turned into a PodCast, it’s an actual PodCast you can follow by just listening. They keep you intrigued and wanting to comeback for more, much love from Northern MN!

Hey Thread Heads!
I am the odd one out because I am a driving listener. I teach creative classes and listen to crafty podcasts during my drives. I landed on yours just recently and fully caught up within two weeks!
I am a reborn sewist - last time I touched a sewing machine was 10 years ago in Home Economics. Even though I don’t think I will start quilting any time soon, I got hooked on your podcast hard - it is so relatable with my crafting business! Many good laughs!
Thanks for the inspiration to attempt a quilted potholder ladies (because that is my small scale type projects) and expanding my quilting knowledge!

Constructive criticism here, I think you need better audio. There is a lot of breathing noise and (not audio related) a little too much giggling. I really want to add this to my podcast following but just can’t. I’ve listened to several episodes. You’ve got a good thing going but it could easily be
so much better!
