October 05, 2011Episode 63: In Which We Talk about Line with Jaye Oct 4 2011
Back to the design series with our friend Jaye of artquiltmaker fame. (Follow her on Twitter--@artquiltmaker.) This time we're talking about line. Why do we need to think about line when designing a quilt? What affects can line have? What kinds of line are there? What creates line in quilts? And yes--there's homework!
For resources, more information about line, and some other great pictures, check out Jaye's blog.
For photos of quilts that illustrate what we discuss in this episode, check out my blog.
The resources Nonnie sent me that are related to design are:

She says you can size it down to 180x180 if it's too big as-is, without a lot of distortion. Thanks, Pam! (By the way, Pam says she's winning. I certainly know she's beating me!)

September 15, 2011 Episode 61: In Which We Launch a New Segment Sept 15 2011
Wheee! The long-awaited day has finally arrived! In this episode, I launch a new, on-going segment featuring Artquiltmaker blogger Jaye Lapachet. Jaye and I have been working on this for *months* so I'm absolutely ecstatic to finally be able to share it with you. Learn a little bit more about design principles and elements with Jaye and I, starting with Design 101 in this episode.
Also, I announce the winner of the summer quarter stash mystery challenge (yay!) and the last quarter's theme. Plus, Sandy Update and Listener Feedback. Can it get any better than this?

August 24, 2011 Episode 059: In Which We Buy Fabric Aug 24 2011
As a follow up to my decluttering episode a couple of posts ago, this time I explore what makes us buy fabric. Sure, sometimes we buy for a project--but most of us probably buy fabric on occasion as "fabric retail therapy." This mostly-lighthearted exploration of the motivation behind fabric shopping includes listener input and my own thoughts. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say!

OK, you asked for it, you got it. Several listeners had asked me to share about how I'm approaching the whole "empty nest" thing as I send my daughter off to college. I have been doing a lot of processing this summer, and am now sharing that with you. How does attending to our fabric stash relate to empty-nesting? You'll just have to listen to find out!
