American Patchwork & Quilting Podcast episodes

January 08, 2018 Guests: Deb Tucker, Amy Ellis, Heidi Kaisand, and Janine Vangool
I can’t wait to chat with Deb Tucker! She has been creating and teaching quiltmaking for 30+ years and her specialty is piecing efficiency. From patterns to tools to demos Deb can help us get it right easily!
------------
Author, Moda fabric designer and curator of fun project, my friend Amy Ellis always has something going on! We are going to chat about some of her collaborations including her new modern quilt publications that are very unique!
------------
I love when Heidi Kaisand of Hen & Chicks Studio joins me! Heidi and I have worked together for many years and we have shared a lot of creative ideas. What I love about her and what she does in her shop, is that she explores ways to be creative that are not just making quilts. We are going to share a few top ways to be creative that are similar, but different to quilt making.
------------
I have long admired the work of Janine Vangool, who is the publisher, editor and designer of UPPERCASE, which a quarterly print magazine for ‘the creative and curious’. I love that tag line! Her publications are inspired by design, typography, illustration and craft. Her magazine and books celebrate the process of making, the commitment to craft and the art of living creatively, my kind of gal! She is also a fabric designer for Windham and today we are going to talk about her creative process.

December 11, 2017 12-11-17 Joi Mahon and Katja Marek Chat with Pat on Pat Sloan's Talk show for American Patchwork and Quilting Radio
I learned how to sew by making clothing. In reality I made clothing badly but I still kept making them, even wore some. I wish I’d had a ‘Joi Mahon’ to teach me. Joi is an author, teacher, owns the Sewing Factory in Sioux City, Iowa, is a fellow Baby lock ambassador and clothing pattern designer. She also has a rich family history of sewing which includes quilts. Can’t wait for you to meet her and maybe I’ll even try sewing clothing again!

I love Kristin Esser’s book with her co-author Minki Kim called ‘Sew Illustrated’.
