Oh, my word. Your guest mentioned that she designed Saltwater Taffy! I literally yelled in my car "omigod, I LOVE Saltwater Taffy!' I've made it. It's the first quilt I've made for myself. I used charm squares that I liked but was not wild about. I used a sheet for my background. I'm so happy with the final piece.
Your show is inspiring. I found it this morning and am now bingeing.

What a great podcast and a fantastic episode! I loved hearing from my good friend Kaye Collins about her quilting and longarming path. You all did such a great job of asking her really insightful questions. It was great to hear about her process and what things helped her along the way. Love this podcast and can’t wait to listen to more episodes!

You two are doing such a great job focusing on relatable people who are seeing success in the quilting industry. The big names are great but they are so far ahead of me that it makes my head spin. I like hearing the successes and the failures- they are important to my growth as a business.
