My guest, Sam, began her quilting journey at Mile 0 on the Alaska Highway. We chat about the twists and turns of building a quilting business, and how Sam has done that in a small Canadian town. She gives tips for marking, finding your niche, and building a client base. Solid advice if you're launching or building your business.  Plus, Sam acquired her longarm in a totally unique way. You don't want to miss that story!

Rachelle and I chat about her background in engineering, and how that has served her well in writing quilt patterns and instructions. We talk about finding pattern ideas in unexpected places (like antique farming tools!) Rachelle's tips for fabric selection, and being inspired by the little things in life.

Introductions are in order! In this very first episode, I'm chatting with my sister about our childhood (a wee bit unconventional), the influences of our crafting mother/grandmother/aunts, and some of our thoughts about preserving the treasures of the past for the families of the future. 

Future episodes will feature quilters' and other crafters' stories.  Some are small business owners like myself; others have simply found joy, healing, or community in their craft. I hope you are encouraged and inspired by their stories.
