    This podcast has me captivated. It’s the storytelling that captures me. I’ve been listening to the podcast for a little while now and after listening to the QuiltCon 2023 episode, I felt inspired, emotional and captivated. I appreciate the careful threading of the messages Meg takes us through with her guests. As a hobbiest quilter, learning the ropes to this art form and craft, listening to this podcast has become part of understanding the identity and culture behind quilting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Valerie Soe - Sewing as Storytelling: Inside The New Movie The Auntie Sewing Squad Resistance Playbook
Q: Tell us about your sewing journey and the first machine that stayed with you through the years.
I started sewing in high school and kept using a heavy 1970s Kenmore that felt like a tank; it's remained reliable with proper oiling and maintenance, and it's why sewing has stayed in my life alongside teaching and filmmaking.
Cody Chenevert - Sewing, Style, and the Bayou: Cody Chenevert’s Creative World
Q: You mentioned your mom and you work with her now. What has that been like?
Working with my mom has been a long-standing, joyful partnership; we've shared a strong work ethic since I was 14, she eventually became store manager, and I've continued contributing to the shop while juggling family life.
Cody Chenevert - Sewing, Style, and the Bayou: Cody Chenevert’s Creative World
Q: That is sweet. Cody, we've got a lot to talk about today. So I'm going to start out and say, how did you learn to sew and tell us about your Aunt Mary?
Aunt Mary, my great-aunt, played a pivotal role by teaching me through stories and hands-on experiences; meeting her at 12 sparked my first sewing moments, including making sleep shorts and learning to repurpose old towels with a serger, which planted the seed for lifelong creativity.
Cait Trantham - Scratching the Creative Itch
Q: What's next for Cait?
She's exploring more ways to connect with her audience, developing an app-based resource for thrifting and upcycling, and pursuing the dream of a sewing show involvement.
Cait Trantham - Scratching the Creative Itch
Q: Why did upcycling become the magic key for you?
Upcycling allowed her to see garments come together without big fabric investments, turning closet discoveries into practical, creative explorations that unlocked deeper understanding of construction.
