I talk about being a big deal, playing nice in the comments, random life updates, woodworking, quilting, and some books.

I talk about my busy week, finishing the Birdie quilt, learning to paint better, and the craziness of comments on quilt blogs.

This I catch up on a couple other stories from earlier travels, talk about the day retreat for the AMQG, making charitable tops to finish out a guild commitment, and what I'm planning for #LDSI (Labor Day Sew In)!

Is this thing on? I dust off the microphone and cast the pods to talk about where I've been the last few weeks, share some anecdotes about dogs, cookies, dresses, and a little bit of quilting!

Short and sweet this week with a review of vacation happenings, very little sewing, and my experience in the feather quilting class with Sharon Schamber.

To the right is another picture of another painting in my kitchen, which inspired the "Brilliant Sea" blue color choice.  Here's the poppy one.

This week I talk a bit about Sharon Schamber, charitable quilting, a muffin recipe, and a couple diatribes on Slacking and "Why Haters Gotta Hate".

Here Jett is showing off the layout for the latest Quilt of Valor.

A jam-packed episode with feelings, cooking, books, and charitable sewing!

Whoops - time slipped away from me yesterday and I forgot to record. In my defense, I was reading a really good book (while also working and being a mom).
