Hey, quilty friends! Leslie and Rochelle just had a wild chat covering everything but the kitchen sink. Rochelle is fully committed to her new life as a Clogger and Rock Climber, having danced for four hours straight and tackled a challenging climb. Meanwhile, Leslie is recovering from a baking disaster that involved a batch of burnt chocolate chip cookies. The entertainment front was equally chaotic, with a deep-dive on the book Project Hail Mary and a recommendation for the movie Song Sung Blue (yes, the one with Neil Diamond songs). They wrapped up this segment by discussing the concept of finding joy in the small stuff—the "borrowed light rule"—a perfect motto for this duo's adventures.

The upcoming Galentine's event is set to be a blast, with 33 kits already cut for hilarious-sounding projects like 'Love Stinks' and the 'Mushroom King.' The biggest news is that the 'Inappropriate Quilters' retreat at Osage Hills Retreat Center is already sold out—talk about high demand! They even had a chat about the seasonal slowness of quilt production, which gives them time to plan for future fun like bunting and prosperity hens. Plus, Leslie's fabulous long-arm machine, Esther, got a shout-out. The immediate to-do list is focused on setting up a retreat waitlist and getting Rochelle the right tap plates for her new clogging shoes. Enjoy!
