Howdy, Quilters! This week’s thread was packed with so many fun updates, we’re buzzing with inspiration! Leslie and Rochelle kicked things off with personal updates, including Rochelle’s recovery from ear complications and her excitement for an upcoming clogging class—time to break out those Keds! They also dished on some fabulous fabric finds, like the dreamy Double Lush Velvet from Riley Blake, and shared some insider tips on the best sewing machines to handle everything from canvas to silk. The conversation wasn't all stitches and seams, though, with a detour into classic cinema like Rebel Without a Cause and festive Christmas movie marathons. Finally, they wrapped up the personal chat by exchanging heartfelt New Year’s wishes and sharing their chill plans for the holiday.
They also dove into some seriously creative projects! We heard about fantastic DIY home upgrades, including a budget-friendly trick using Rub and Buff to refinish kitchen knobs and the plan to tackle a thrifted table and chairs with special paint. On the quilting front, there was chat about an Elizabeth Hartman pattern and even a cool James Dean pixel quilt, plus a mention of connecting a Jelly Roll quilt to the perfect namesake. Excitingly, they discussed the launch of a new podcast segment called "Sew & Tell" featuring new finds! Plus, we got a fun history lesson on the accidental start of the Santa tracking tradition. You don't want to miss this great episode!
