I would like to see your quilter on the show and hear how she determines the best way to quilt your quilts.
Yes!
Happy Anniversary 🎉🎉🎊🎊
Happy Anniversary! I have been listening and watching from the beginning and have enjoyed this very much. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to enter your giveaway. I would love to see you invite Corey Yoder to your podcast and show quilts from Sherri’s and Corey’s book Sunday Best 🧵🪡
Entering the contest. One of the first quilting podcasts I found when I first started quilting last year was the quilting marine. He started quilting as a way to deal with his PTSD, and I think he'd be a great guest. Also wanted to let you know that I've been enjoying your videos and have learned a lot, and I was so pleased when you started the podcast. I haven't missed an episode, and I always watch the whole thing. Love to you all, thank you for everything you do! 💕
Happy Anniversary to you all! Enjoy your podcast😀👍
I am 71 years old and have always loved and honored quilters. It is very discouraging that not all appreciate the ART but I agree that it is not dying off and thank to your family for keeping it going.
Entering the contest - I like the idea of interviewing Bonnie and Camille, another mother/daughter team of quilters. As to topics, I enjoy when you speak about the design process for new fabric lines.
I love you guys, starting watching at Episode one and haven’t missed any. Would love to see you have on a Moda rep and walk through the steps of fabric from conception to bolt
@Sandra Dickey Oh, that would be a great idea!!
Happy Anniversary! I really enjoy your podcasts. I would love ideas on how to choose colors and fabrics for a quilt pattern when you don't have a coordinated fabric line or curated bundle, but want to pull fabrics together from stash or a mix of fabric lines.
Congratulations. What an awesome achievement. Please keep going.
I am new to quilting. I have been learning, binge watching quilt TH-cam tutorials now for 3 years. I asked my Mom to teach me to sew when I was 10. I spent my high school years making various tops, vests and skirts. Years later when my kids were toddlers I made matching jumpers for Christmas photos and other events. I homeschooled my kids and I would take in the afternoon I would take a break and watch public television with Elenor Burns, Quilt in a Day and Nancy Zieman. I learned so much and these shows transformed me as a crafter. Now I am also still 60 and I have a goal to make quilts for each of my grown children, grandkids and church friends. It’s an exciting time in the quilting community!!! So many amazing ladies like the two of you!! New fabric, new notions, new patterns. it’s an exciting time in our country for crafters, I am forever grateful for your never ending tips, creativity, new fabrics and just all it. I am a full time floor staff nurse and this outlet has saved my life!!! I am laid back in general but this past year my anxiety has been off the charts. Quilting calms me! Energizes me and has helped me make it through the challenges and exhaustion of nursing.
FYI: Here in Indiana one quilting store sold out of sewing machines in 2020 because everyone was buying them to stat sewing again making masks and now quilt classes are full.
One young lady I know who grew up with my kids now owns and online Etsy business that sells fabric and makes quilts. She is married to one of my sons best friends who is an engineer for GM. She herself is a chemist and her goal was to teach. Now she actively part of the quilting community at 28. They recently bought a bigger home that had a basement because her business is growing so much.
It’s a known fact that working with your hands increases endorphins that lowers stress.
Thanks Sheri and Chelsi! Thanks Billy!! Keep teaching, sharing and know that you are changing lives!!!
Congratulations on your one year anniversary! Yah! I’ve enjoyed each one! For the giveaway question....... I’d love for Camille and Bonnie to be guests on your podcast. It would be fun to hear from them and compare their techniques as a mother/daughter with yours! Thank you for all of your inspiration! ❤️
Happy Anniversary
Entering Giveaway, I would love to see/hear more from about younger aged quilters and modern quilters.
One Year!!!! That’s awesome and I have enjoyed the journey with you three! Thank you
Entering the give away:
Guest: Krista Moser
Topic: how to start creating pattern
Congrats on your first year! I love how calming your podcasts are. The family stories are endearing. I would like to see Tula Pink as a guest. Thank you for keeping us sane this last year!
Happy First Anniversary! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. I would love to see some of your employees, quilting friends, and longarm quilters on your broadcasts. Best wishes!
Love you guys. All 3 of you. Happy Anniversary. I would love to see Bonnie and Camille. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Happy Birthday Billy! I was expecting a second cake to show up!!😹😹
Love your podcast! As a younger quilter I love hearing both of your thoughts and ideas. I would love a whole episode about choosing fabrics that work together. I always think I made good choices but then when the whole quilt comes together I realize they don’t really work.
Love your show, and Billy, I’m one of those who watches from start to finish for each episode. I’m a retired registered nurse who started quilting 50 years ago. I’m also a New Englander and as many of us, we love scrap quilts and our connections to our quilting ancestors. Stating this so my following hopefully will be taken in context.
I was very slow in embracing following A Quilting Life which I followed on Bloglovin. In full disclosure I would check in but only occasionally read the blog. Many quilters are very visual......
Yes, I admit I love those old traditional quilts with their limited color palette back in my grandmother’s time. But I also love the ‘fresh new quilts’. I have made many of both. When reading the blogs I loved the content but not so much the fabrics. Color is personal so please don’t interpret this as criticism. I started to watch A Quilting Life on TH-cam with my iPad maybe 6 months ago.
Honestly, it was Sherri’s personality that “pulled me in” to watch and ignore the color palette of their beautiful quilts. I’m not very good at imagining these lovely and beautiful quilts if they were done in different fabrics. I never miss another TH-cam channel where their forte is taking a pattern from a designer or even an old standard quilt that’s been around for eons.
I love seeing the quilt done in a different fabric (print vs batik) and color, or era of fabric or category (ie juvenile, seasonal, etc). Being so visual, it’s an aha moment for me and I have ended up buying that pattern and delighted with my finished quilt. I would NEVER have bought those patterns if I hadn’t seen what it looks like in fabrics done by different designers.
So my suggestion is: Maybe it might be possible to have viewers make a quilt, such as the one on the table, and have the viewers submit photos of their finished quilts? Then a short slide show of different versions of the quilt.
Idea #2: At the end of a show, a slide show of 2-3 quilts done with A Quilters Life patterns or video content so viewers can see different fabrics and “feeling” quilts so those of us extremely visual quilters can visualize for ourselves how we can make that quilt our own.
And yes, I now am a dedicated watcher of A Quilters Life.
I've really enjoyed getting to know you all through this podcast. I look forward to every episode! I would love for you to have a long arm quilter as a guest. I have a long arm, but I'm a beginner and I need to learn so much!
I've been sewing and quilting for more than 30 years and I've seen the largest serge of quilters and interest in sewing and quilting in the past 10 years. Quilting is going nowhere but UP!!!!!!!!!!! It will thrive!!!
Love that quilts are utilitarian art! I would like more talk on smaller projects, love the table runners!
I'm making sure my granddaughters are quilters, one is 28 and one other 20 and a 4 year old...... its being kept alive here. Thanks for showing your beautiful quilts, tips and patterns.. Love your site and pod casts..
I agree quilting is never going to die it’s been around for generations I am 74 but I have been making quilts off & on since I helped my Mother when I was young. Also I lost my oldest daughter to pancreatic cancer at 48 in 2015.,I take care of her handicapped daughter she has a rare disease called ACDY5 we had no diagnosis until a year after my daughter’s passing & she lost her Dad to esophageal cancer in 2006. So her & her sisters lost their parents young, sorry so long a comment. But what I want to say is sewing & making quilts has been a lifesaver for me it is something that I just calms me & I love seeing the quilts come together in such unique colors. I believe quilting will never go away I have a quilt from my Mothers grandmother that I cherish.
Happy Anniversary!! 🎉❤️ Love your podcast! I have learned so much from both of you. Thank you!
Happy Anniversary! I've really enjoyed your podcast this year, not only for the great ideas and quilts to see, but also because it's a calm, relaxing experience in the insane world we have had this past year. Your goal setting and time management ideas have been inspirational! I wanted to suggest some topic ideas, not just to enter the contest (bonus!) but to let you know my current interests: what works for 2 block quilts, how you start with quilt designing, what quilt design software you use, how you get your paper patterns so nicely printed, advice about starting and maintaining an Etsy shop, and more on efficient quilting techniques. Also, I am really enjoying the 2021 BOM! Thank you both!
Congratulations on your 1st Anniversary. I am new to the quilt world. I got disabled in 2016 and in 2019 God gave me the talent of quilting. I have learned so much from all of Sherri's You tube videos. And I have gone back many times to watch them. I have to say Thank you so much Sherri, for teaching me so much. I also would like to enter your giveaway. I mostly have made your quilts and you got me hooked on EPP. Grandmothers Garden Flowers are so much fun.
Please keep this going as its such an enjoyable video I look forward to every other week. Thanks for all your hard work, Sherri, Chelsi and Billy.❤❤❤🎉🎉
i think topics with longer conversations would be a good idea with a segment, shorter, devoted to questions. Congratulations with your anniversary. You all do a great job. Topics regarding color- saturation, hue and trends, in quilting past and future.
I would like to see and hear from your longarm quilter for the interview.
Happy Anniversary! Time flies when you’re having fun and your podcast is definitely fun! Thank you! There are so many amazing Quilters in the industry, but how fun would it be to have Maureen McCormick on the show?!?! 😃 Happy Birthday, Billy! Thanks for all you do.
Sew enjoyed the Anniversary episode! You girls are marvelous. I'd like to see or hear Pat Sloan on your podcast. Also cover how you pick out colors to make such beautiful quilts.
Awesome job ladies and Billy! I haven’t missed an episode and I look forward to many more to come.
One more thing...Billy seems so willing to do any new thing you want to do. What a guy!
I’m from Victoria Australia, and I watch and love every episode. Thank you for taking the time to make these shows for us to enjoy.
For the give away question: I’d love to learn about the process of how you design your fabric lines. I’m interested in how you come up with the original concept, to how you do the creative part of designing the fabric prints, to how you get the fabric made.
In response to one of the topics you covered today, I think the quilting industry has boomed in the last decade or so, with the help of social media platforms. Being able to watch tutorials on TH-cam has made many of us feel like we can do this too. Other social media platforms also provide a lot of inspiration for quilters, and the rise of online stores has meant that fabric from all our favourite designers is available to us, even if we don’t have a quilt fabric store close by. This hobby has become more accessible to many people, where it used to be something that wasn’t easily self taught, and you had to join guilds to learn about new fabrics, notions and techniques. I’m so grateful that designers like yourselves, take the time to share your fabrics and quilt designs with us on Instagram and your blogs, and teach us how to make projects on TH-cam. You really do help grow this industry by inspiring the creativity in us.
First, kudos to Billy for coming up with the idea for this podcast! I have enjoyed the year of quilt talk, it helped make the year feel less lonely. As a 3rd generation quilter, I have loved hearing about quilting, inspiration, and fun family stories. Also a shoutout to Sherri and Chelsi for creating a fresh and excited world of fabric and patterns. For the giveaway - I would love to hear from Amy Smart about her creative process! I love the quilt that Chelsi shared with the little trees, so I looked it up and think Amy has a free form thought process that is not the norm.
Hi, an interview with Kate, from the “last homely house,” UK. Congratulations one the year celebration!
Congrats! You have been such a bright spot in this past year! "Lifesaver" might seem strong, but I look forward to each new episode and seeing the new quilts, patterns, fabric; and Sherri's short tutorials are fun. Love how the quilts are featured in your setup! Billy was right to nudge you into the world of podcasts and videos a year ago! Thank you for bringing your World to ours! It's appreciated. (And so is Grandpa's special time with the children.). Winning a gift certificate to your shops would be exciting....And to see a session with Joanna Figueroa would be fun.
Congratulations on one year, I have enjoyed your podcasts and look forward to more!
Just finished watching the 1 year anniversary episode! Congratulations!
What I think people don't often understand is how quilting has become an inclusive community for all who are interested. From the young single mom attracted by the colorful, beautiful fabrics to the grandmother willing to share what she has experienced throughout her quilting life. This is why I love your mother daughter collaboration.
I quilt to add heart and love to my home and into the lives of others.
I would love to see other designers and collaberations on your podcast.
I would also like to see smaller projects you make like pillows and gift items.
I don't often have funds/ time to spare for a whole quilt but purchase precuts from your different collections.
Projects using mini charms and charm packs would be awesome. I make your pot holders often!
I recently made your Americana quilt. I had such fun.I plan to make a star and stripes-themed quilt each year to give away at my family’s July 4 reunion.
I just started watching your podcasts and love them! Definitely am going to go back and watch from the beginning! I think a great guest would be the Quilting Marine - he started quilting as therapy for his PTSD - My quilting has helped me through some rough times as well.
Congratulations on the 1 year mark of podcasting!! I have really enjoyed Karen Brown of Just Get it Done quilts and think she would make a great guest
Happy anniversary, girls and Billy. 🇦🇺 Your give away sounds fun. Would love you to interview Donna Jordan. Her story would be great. Thanks.
Contest : You gals and Billie rock! Quilting is a multi billion dollar industry! The economic impact on cities that hold festivals and quilt shows is tremendous! And, more and more men are quilters, designers, are making a decent living from it! Long live quilting!
Happy Anniversary! A topic to consider is how to choose fabric for a quilt.
Love! Love! Love your podcast! Congratulations on your one year anniversary, Sherri, Chelsea, and Billy! A Quilting Life has been something to look forward to during the pandemic. Thanks for the opportunity to enter for your giveaways! Wishing you all the best going forward toward your second anniversary!! I would love to have your longarm quilter on your show!
Happy One Year Anniversary to you three! I have watched every episode. Love your podcast. I think it would be amazing to see Corey Yoder on anything of her choosing!
Congratulations on a year well done! And Happy Birthday Billy!🥳 Your podcast and TH-cam videos were part of my saving grace during the pandemic. Not only are your fabric lines and quilts beautiful, but the family connection between the three of you and your calming voices are the reason I always watch all the way to the end! Thanks for making us feel like part of the family and here’s to many more years. And by the way, I agree that the quilting community has never been more vital and much of that is thanks to designers and creators like you both! I’m hopeful to have a chance at the drawing; gosh~ how fun that would be to win! I’d love to see Pat Sloan on your show! 💖
Thank you for making us feel like part of your family! I love that you work together...that is a blessing. I see quilting as a beautiful form of art as well as a gift of love to the recipients. No dissing the quilting industry! I would love to see how historical blocks can be made in new ways.
One year - woo hoo!!! Congratulations! I'd love to hear/see Edyta Sitar on your show. Her piecing and applique methods look so intricate, but I believe they are do-able. Pat Sloan is also one of my faves and has sew much to offer all levels of quilters. And I began quilting/sewing at a very young age, before marriage, and kids. I was in high school (17 years old) and fell in love with it. I had to take a brief hiatus when I went back to work full time, and have recently returned to it as a way to relieve stress and become more creative in my daily life. I look forward to passing the tradition down to my children and grandchildren. I am only 53b and have many years of quilting ahead!
Happy anniversary! I’ve really enjoyed your podcast/videos! I would love to hear from someone at Moda about how they choose new designers and the work that goes into the designs and fabric manufacturing. And how the pandemic has changed all of this behind the scenes. Thank you for all your hard work! I wrote this before Billy shared the “dying quilting” comment. All I can say is what planet do these people live on? People have dusted off their machines and made thousands of masks and when they got bored of that they sewed quilts and clothes. When we can’t sew in groups, we have sewed on Zoom and in campers and on vacations. Men are sewing. Children are sewing! Families are sewing! I have brought my grandmother’s quilts out that she sewed by hand at my uncle’s bedside as he was dying. Thousands of one inch squares. And I felt comforted. No. Quilting is not dying. It’s thriving.
Entry - I always enjoy recipe ideas. 😃. I would love a session that includes how to put fabrics together from your stash... colors. Enjoy listening.
I would love to hear more from Jen Kindwell! I’m going to start on her Long Ago quilt after I get my table cleaned. CAKE! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY...I enjoy your show on my TV You Tube, and quite often you walk along with me thru the woods or along the river! Thank you for the company. You talked about the pandemic and all the new podcasters, etc. I think you all saved a lot of our sanity. I have many new friends that I could have around even in my jammies.
I’m so glad you two have had success in this great pod cast venture. I enjoy it a lot and Billie does a great job. Chelsi, I love your log cabin quilt on the table. Just adorable. Thank you for all the great information you share each episode. Have a wonderful June and another successful year. God bless you all. 👏🏻💕🇺🇸
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! I'm a dedicated fan!! I don't comment much, but I watch every video several time. Especially while sewing, I'd love to see an interview with "The Quilting Marine", He's such an inspiration for especially new quilters.
Hi Sherri, Chelsi, and Billy, thank you so much for this Podcast. I discovered it while trying to find something to listen to on Spotify while on my walks as I work to lose my COVID lockdown excess pounds. I have so enjoyed the great tips, thanks to your organization tips episode my sewing room is in the most efficient and organized condition it has been in years! I also have appreciated your recommendations for sewing tools and best practices. I would love to see/hear your long-armers on an episode to talk about how they determine a pattern when a customer says, "just pick something". Thank you for the generous give-away, it would be great to be included in the drawing. Stay well and thank you again for the joyful time that you bring to all of us!
Congratulations on one year of podcasts. I like to watch the TH-cam version because I love to see the quilts each time. It’s like a mini trunk show. So inspiring! After all these months it seems like spending time with friends. I started quilting because my nine year old granddaughter wanted to make a quilt. She has finished three lap size quilts. I made two small and am now finishing a twin size. Now we are both loving quilting! 💕
Congrats on your first Anniversary! Thanks for sharing these podcasts!
Congrats to all three of you. Thanks Billy for encouraging Sherri and Chelsi it is something I look forward to. I usually watch the beginning on video to see the quilts and then listen on the podcast. I am in New Zealand, there are guilds here but I don’t belong to one. I rely on quilters like yourselves. You are all so delightful. I hope we will be celebrating a year two.
The giveaway is such a fun way to celebrate your first anniversary!! On release days, I always tell my husband, "Today's a podcast day!!!" I think it would be fantastic to invite Bonnie & Camille so you all can compare mother-daughter business stories. I LOVE their fabric collections!
I would love to have more recipes from you two WONDERFUL ladies!!! I collect recipes and cookbooks! Can not believe that it has been a year! Love, love you both! It is so much fun to listen to the two of you. The questions help me learn more all the time. Thank you so very much!!
So much fun! I first met you two ladies on the Fat Quarter Quilting Channel before the pandemic! I spend a lot of time watching flosstube videos, but hopefully by watching you maybe I will get more motivated to spend more time in my sewing area! Two of my favorite quilters and fabric designers are Me and My Sister. They are always so funny, and I love their choice of colors. I have been doing the Sewsocialites quilt, and I have enjoyed all the different quilt squares and the designers who are responsible for publishing those free patterns! So thank you both for that. I think quilters are also very involved in doing stitching for charity in many different ways. That may be an interesting topic to talk about! You both make me smile ... and I love the contributions of Billy! Happy June!
Yippee!! One whole year- congrats!! I always look forward to your podcast and really enjoy the tips and quilty chatter. I would love to see or from Taunja Kelvington of Carried Away Quilting with a focus on how to choose fabrics for your quilts. Her use of scraps and leftovers in her projects are always so awesome!!! She seems to have a real knack for putting fabrics together in such a pleasing way. I fell head over heels in love with her recent version of the 'Kindness' quilt on instagram and her blog where she mixed several designers fabrics.
Congratulations Sherri and Chelsi on your ONE year Anniversary! I haven't missed one episode of your lovely podcast. I love your family dynamic, and all I have learned listening to you this past year. A shout-out to Billy for all he does to make your podcast seamless and professional, Happy Birthday Billy! I would love it if you had a chance to interview Karen Brown from Just Get it Done Quilts.
Your podcast is one of my favorites that I look forward to. I would love to see how you use quilts in your everyday lives with your kids, grandkids, decor, etc. Also, interviews with other Moda designers would be fun. I love hearing how people got into quilting; especially their creative journeys of color and design in their lines and patterns. Everyone has a story. ☘️
Happy Anniversary Happy birthday Billy! Love your fabrics, quilt patterns AND podcasts! Would love to have Marian , your longarmer, as a guest!
Sherri, Chelsi and Billy, congratulations for completing your first year of broadcasting! You've done a fantastic job educating and entertaining us. Wishing you much continued success! Two potential guest suggestions: Lori Holt and Edyta Sitar.
I'm so excited that both of my father-in-laws and my two 7 year old grandchildren have learned and are learning to quilt!
Wow, 1year - I look forward to the cake episodes!! I would love an informational series of podcasts where you speak with people involved in each aspect of the industry: fabric designer, distributor, production, sales rep, shop owner, average quilter, recipient, collector. Like, what “they” look for, what sells, and why.
Happy Podcast Anniversary! my ideas: have you considered doing a "sit & sew" type interview, maybe about adding handwork details to a machine pieced quilt? I'd love to hear an interview with Karen Lewis, or an in depth discussion about the features you look for in a sewing machine & your favorite place for your machine (on a desk or table, set in a custom cabinet, etc). Thanks very much for spending so much time bringing us each episode!
Happy anniversary. Have enjoyed your chats, loads of information. Where do you get your design inspiration from?
Happy Anniversary! I love your podcast, and never miss an episode. I have read Sheri's blog for years and so admire your scrappy quilts. I would love some ideas on how you choose what to use in a scrappy quilt when not using a fabric collection. My stash covers a lot of different designers. Also, I think it would be so cool to have Carrie Nelson from Moda be a guest because she has such a wonderful sense of humor and so much experience in scrappy Quilts. Thanks for sharing your talents with us❣
I started quilting during the pregnancy 🤰🏽 of my third child, and made my first quilt. I had to stop when I returned to work🥲 She’s now going on 22. I always knew I’d return to quilting when I retired. I retired 7 years ago👏🏽🙏🏽 I quilt, I quilt, I quilt. I’m making sure EVERY person in my life has a quilt, made with love ♥️ from me🙌🏽. It’s not a dying art.
I have enjoyed watching you on TH-cam. You both are so inspiring. I have learned a lot and look forward to seeing to you all each and every time. I think it important to pass on the craft to the younger generation. My grandmother quilted but I didn’t do my own quilt until I found out I was going to be a grandmother myself. I was blessed with my one and only grandchild...a grand girl, I was bitten by the quilting bug really bad and haven’t stopped quilting. I will be quilting until they throw the dirt on me and hopefully with a quilt included in the casket!!❤️🧵🪡❤️
I would love to know more in-depth about sampler quilts. There are so many different blocks I love but I'm not sure how to go about getting them all together in a quilt. Really enjoy the podcast and the family dynamic. My favorite episode so far is when Billy's girlfriend and Sherri's husband helped with the quilt show! ;)
Congratulations on your first year! I love listening to your podcast. I think Bonnie and Camille or Corey Yoder would be wonderful guests. Also, I would love it if you would do a weekly podcast :-).
Everyone should have cake break! I think it would be cool to hear you guys interview Karen from Just Get it Done Quilts. maybe your channels could do a collab! I’d love to win the giveaway. I appreciate this podcast so much. 💜💜💜
I enjoy listening and watching your podcast, . Knowing we are part of a larger quilting community is a great support especially when times are touch, so thank you all.
Congratulations on your Anniversary! I started listening to your podcasts on my phone and now I watch you on TH-cam. I love the both of you! I have bought numerous patterns from both your Etsy shops. Love them all. Chelsea I just finished making your quilt pattern Forest Drive tie my son and daughter in law. It came out beautiful in batiks. I also made your heart pillow sham which I love. And Sherri, I love watching your all your tutorials , I never miss one. I am making your block of the month, and just got your honeycomb precut Balboa to make that hexagon quilt pattern. I also purchased quilt patterns from your shop and my next quilt I’m making is the homebody wall hanging. Can’t wait to see you redo the pattern in the different seasons. Thank you for always bringing a smile to my day with all your podcasts and tutorials and patterns. Please put me in the giveaway. I would appreciated that. Thank you so much!
It's so awesome that you are 1 year old for the podcast. I have been watching on TH-cam for about 4 months, so not the full year. I have been reading Sherri's blog off and on for several years. Love the Saturday Seven, variety is good. 😀
A comment on the health of the quilting industry, I read the results of the 2020 survey of quilters and we are a Billion dollar industry. Yes that's with a B! Not dieing soon!
I would love to be entered into a drawing for a gift card to one of your etsy shops. Keep up the good work and I look forward to another year of podcasts.
Congrats on the one year anniversary! Any guest or topic would be wonderful! Thanks for keeping this going - it’s been very fun !
Happy 1st Anniversary from Melbourne, Australia. Have loved listening to each and every episode from the start. Love the interaction between the three of you. Guest speaker: Vanessa Goertzen
I would like to have a pod cast on color
Making Mondays bearable for a year! Thanks and happy anniversary!!! ❤️❤️
Congratulations on one year! Thank you for your work in making the TH-cam videos. I watch each one. I don't usually read blogs, so TH-cam is great for me! I would love to see other mother/daughter or generational team as guests, such as Bonnie and Camille. I am one of four sisters and we all quilt. We actually plan a 4-5 day trip or retreat each year. We inspire encourage one another. Thank you Billy for your willingness to support this!
I love hearing the statistics. Thank you Billy for the time you spent gathering it all. Love your quilts and your fabric. I look forward to each one. I am really looking forward to the SAL
Love your podcast! Lisa Bonjean Primitive Gatherings would be a great guest! I do not see quilting dying out. Because of you tube you can learn on your own time. I don't have access to a quilt shop but everything ships! I got into it I am retired but I became a widow and it sure is saving my life. I am trying to learn everything. Machine applique quilting and hand quilting and wool applique. My grandma made quilts and tied them. Sadly I didn't learn. Shet had to go into a nursing home way early due to diabetes. She got quilts going in the nursing home. I wish now I had gone and learned how she did it. She made it into our local paper due to her quilt projects !!
Happy Anniversary to all of you. It was very interesting to hear all the stats by Billy. I love watching the TH-cam so I can see all the beautiful quilts. I am glad to hear quilting is thriving.
I would like Christa Watson as a guest. She is a proponent of quilting your own quilts on your sewing machine. I think walking foot quilting is something most quilters could master.
My charity group gets many tops donated when quilters are no longer able to sew. It is a shame because if they could have quilted them they could have gifted them to family and friends.
Happy one-year anniversary! I love listening to your episodes while crafting! I would love to hear an episode all about your stash journeys, scraps, and organization! It might also be fun to listen to other crafty hobbies you may have or dabbled in (sewing bags, knitting, painting, cross stitching, etc.). Can't wait to hear future episodes!
Loved your Anniversary podcast, congratulations on 1 year. I liked the idea of having your quilter on the podcast.
Congratulations, Sherri, Chelsi and Billy! You have helped to fill some of the quiet, pandemic hours in my sewing room. I will continue to follow you. Sherri, I've been watching your tutorials for a couple of years, and made your 2020 mystery quilt in 18 inch blocks. I love it! You are a kind, interesting pleasant soul with great artistry to share. Chelsi, I love watching your quilting career grow. Thanks for the stats, Billy! I love numbers. I am participating in the give away, and would like to suggest another discussion on color, and would love it if you would interview Pat Sloan. Take care.
Happy Anniversary! I listened, watched and read the Blog for a long time and I learned so much over the years. Thank you for mentioning the European Viewers/ Listeners as well. I am from Germany and quilting has no history here in northern Germany. My Grandmothers and mother did not even know what it is, for them it was all about sewing clothes, knitting and crocheting blankets and embroidering wonderful samplers for the walls. So, I had to learn how to quilt on my own without friends or groups and felt always so warmly welcomed in Sherris corner of the internet. So thank you so much, Sherri, for the way you teached me things step by step and with your calm and friendly way. For future guests: I would love to see Maureen Cracknell and Carolyn Friedlander to learn more about the topics display quilts on Instagram and hand sewing modern designs. Frauke from Germany
Oh, and I would love to enter the giveaway!
Happy 1st Anniversary! I thoroughly enjoy your podcasts! It’s like spending time with friends. I like to suggest the topics of “Charity Quilting”. Thanks Sherri, Chelsi and Billy!
Congratulations on your first year! I have really enjoyed listening and have learned so much. Your long arm quilter would be a great guest. Thanks Sherri, Chelsi and Billy!
Loved the anniversary show! I would love to see Pat Sloan on your show! A topic I would like to hear about would be how to determine fabric color ways and also tutorials on paper piecing. I love your channel and your fabric lines. Your designs are wonderful! I also love seeing a family business that works so lovingly together.
Sherri, I became aware of your talen through your blog, years ago. I enjoyed that....now what a treat to see and hear from you. Love your family connections and closeness! Your patterns are beautiful! An idea: show pictures of different areas of your homes where your quilts are decorations.
I absolutely love the family aspect of your videos as an additional touch to all the quilting tips and viewing of your collections & designs. ;0)
Happy Anniversary I started watching your podcasts when sewcialite started and never missed one since. Because of where I live I would appreciate having kits done with the patterns as a beginner I have a hard time choosing fabrics so I think having KITS would help a beginner. Keep up the good work looking forward to doing the sew along of homebody with you.
CONGRATULATIONS on your one year anniversary and thanks for providing some ‘sunshine’ during the pandemic! Loved this episode-reminded me of my family. My daughter also quilts and my son is our tech support. I’d love to see an episode or two regarding small quilt projects-such as small wall hangings and table decor. Thanks for providing us with a great informative podcast. Here’s to year two!
I have listened to all your podcasts and enjoy watching your family dynamic! I have learned a lot from you and love seeing your finished quilts. I think Corey Yoder would be a great guest to have on a future podcast. Congratulations on your one year anniversary and Happy Birthday to Billy!!!
