  • Love listening to this podcast

    My favourite thing to listen to while stitching, interesting content and interviews. Mainly American focused, I would love to hear more interviews with quilters from other countries.

  • Always a great listen

    Brandy is the best interviewer! She has a format so you know what you will learn from her guests. She does a great job getting information from those she interviews and her focus is always on the guests! She shares a little about herself making the guests comfortable but then always gets back to finding out more about the guests and their artist journey.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

QOF Episode 271 - Cindy Grisdela
Q: Can you share a memorable moment from your books or a turning point in your publishing journey?
Volunteer work at SACWA led to a conversation with an CNT Publishing editor who encouraged me to write a book, which became Artful Improv; that step solidified my path as an author and teacher.
QOF Episode 271 - Cindy Grisdela
Q: What drives your approach to color and composition in your quilts?
Color is the primary driver; I start with color ideas, then use freeform cutting and wall design to explore how colors interact, often letting the piece evolve beyond the initial plan.
QOF Episode 271 - Cindy Grisdela
Q: How did you transition from traditional to contemporary quilting, and what role did teaching play in that shift?
The shift happened gradually as I explored texture, color, and freedom from patterns. Teaching followed naturally after I published Artful Improv, which helped demonstrate to students that they could achieve sophisticated, improv-driven results too and that the process could be collaborative and joyful.
QOF Episode 275 - Brigitte Heitland of Zen Chic
Q: What sparked Brigitte's approach to color and room-adjacent design in quilting?
Her interior design background informs her color palettes and the idea that a quilt should harmonize with a room, not just stand alone as a decorative piece.
QOF Episode 265 - Karla Overland
Q: What is the Cherrywood Challenge and how has it evolved over the years?
The Cherrywood Challenge started in 2014 with narrow parameters to keep things simple and finishable—small pieces, a single color, and a fixed 20 by 20 inch size. It exploded beyond expectations when 119 quilts arrived, turning a tiny home into a gallery and launching more than a decade of themed challenges featuring motifs like Lion King, Van Gogh, Diana, and Jane Goodall, with a juried traveling exhibit and strong sponsor support.
