Episode #4 – Quilt fix by Snail Mail

Episod #4 – Quilt fix by snail mail

There are lots of ways to get your quilt fix by snail mail – who doesn’t love getting mail?!

Show notices – glossy brochures to upcoming shows are lovely to get.  Here are a few I’ve recently received:

Sewing catalogs!  I love catalogs!  Sure you can shop on the internet too but then you don’t get the joy of touching glossy paper.  And you can still browse when the electricity goes out.

Magazines!!  There are tons of magazines to read, here are the three I get:

What about…

  • Block of the Month programs – otherwise known as BOM’s.
  • Fabric subscriptions – some shops offer a subscription service similar to fruit-of-the-month clubs, with themes like Bali or Moda fabric, etc.

Many thanks to those leaving comments!!!

Episode #1

Pioneer Quilter – episode 1: intro

Hello all you pioneer quilters out there!  This marks the beginning of my jump into podcasting.  I’m really excited to bring a spotlight to my favorite aspect of quilting: handwork!  In this episode I talk a little bit about my goals for the program, as well as the types of things I’d like to talk about and the format I’d like to use on the show. 

In this episode, I mentioned the book that I initially learned quilting from,  Fons and Porter’s Quilter Complete Guide.  I still use it and it has sadly fallen apart.  They have a hard-cover version for sale on their website for only $20.  I think it is well worth the price.

If you’d like to send me some email, my address is kelley at pioneerquilter dot com.  I hope you enjoyed my first show!
