We continue our series of looking at JWQ through the eyes of the New Media and Internet Studies course. Here we talk with students about giveways, and their experience with the local bar on campus. It turns out the embroidered hat was the most coveted thing. Go embroidery!

I asked Ebony to join us for a second part to the interview, and we still didn't get through the list of questions I had for her! Hope you enjoy the interview.

Ebony Love, who many know for her classes, her Mystery sewalongs, and her general awesomeness joins us to talk about all things quilty. We had so much to chat about that she is coming back for a second part (at least!). For more on Ebony, you can go to her website, https://lovebugstudios.com.

Amy is amazing. We talk to her about her journey in sewing and quilting life. She's been a professional sewist in the fashion industry, a children's book illustrator, and now a very powerful fiber arts/art quilter.

Special Topics from New Media and Internet Studies: Dr. Ron Gard lent his course to us to contexualize and understand how JWQ fits into the current trends in the digital realm. We are trying to understand social media by immersive research. Today, Jensen Hellmers talks to us about data gathering.

Raymond comes back to talk with us about Celtic Knots. His recent book is available here: https://nachograndmasquilts.com/books/.

Dan talks to us about charity quilting, making many many baby quilts, and art quilts. We get pretty serious about thinking through what this quilting world is.

Stephanie talks to us about the Quilter's Planner, while she is in a nature preserve for a fieldtrip for her kid. (She can multi-task!). She talks to us about how she started the planner, and many more things! Here is a link to the planner: https://quiltersplanner.com.
