  • 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.

QOF Episode 283 - Barbara Emodi
Q: So when did you first put stitch to fabric?
Her mother sent her to a Singer Sewing School when she was 12, where she made a lined wool suit and discovered her love of sewing.
QOF Episode 281 - Eli McCann
Q: How did you create the plot and the location and the characters? How did they come to you?
McCann drew on his mother, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and himself and his husband for character details. The plot began with the idea of longtime quilting friends preparing for a competition against their rivals.
QOF Episode 281 - Eli McCann
Q: So when did you first start putting words to paper when you were young?
McCann says he loved writing for as long as he can remember, kept journals from around age six, and excelled at reading and writing in school.
QOF Episode 282 - Matt Wilding
Q: When inspiration strikes, I want to know what your process looks like. Like, are you pencil to paper? Do you go all digital, all in? Or do you just take the actual fabric and throw it on the wall and start cutting?
Wilding says designs often stay in his mind for a long time before he drafts them on a computer. For his first three-dimensional piece, he drafted the shapes flat, printed them, and joined the paper pieces with tape and glue.
