This week (August 2024) we lost a beautiful, creative voice in our industry - Carole Lyles Shaw. She was a bright light in the quilting world and a very much loved member of our community. Carole was a very talented quilter and teacher but also one of those really positive good friends to so many of us. As I processed the news of her passing the day before her podcast episode was supposed to air last week I just took a pause. It was hard to accept after having interviewed her with so much joy just a few weeks ago, but I’ve realized that she put in a lot of work to prepare for her episode and it would be good to honour her memory and share her voice and her story with you. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

Thank you for listening to the Quilter on Fire Podcast.

My guest today is Robin Bogaert. I interviewed her way back in January and I'm so excited to get this episode onto the airwaves.  She is a long arm quilter, pattern designer, and blogger for BERNINA International. And she joined the ranks of BERNINA Ambassadors for Canada over a year ago. She is the past owner of a quilt shop and has decades of experience that comes along with that.

My guest today is Charisma Horton! She is a longarm quilter, pattern designer, fabric designer and she hosts all kinds of wonderful events including blocks of the month! I’ve been following her on Instagram for ages, loving every post (especially the sweet inspirations) and she’s also been doing some really fun adventures with Rob Appell who I’ve had on the podcast in the past for Episode #51. Charisma has published over 500 patterns and teaches her workshops based on those so her library of patterns is nothing less than EPIC!

 My guest today is Fuzzy Mall, He is known for capturing a moment in time with his portrait quilts portraying figures in a candid way like they have no idea they are being caught in that moment of action. These quilts are bold, colorful and command attention because they are stunning from a distance but draw you in with detail inviting you to stand there for a while. He has accomplished so much in his art career from awards to solo shows and just the act of slowing us down in this digital world to stop and take a moment.

My guest today is Irene Blanck. She's been designing hand appliqué quilts and patterns since 2007 and she teaches all aspects of needle turn appliqué in her workshops. Her book called FOCUS ON APPLIQUÉ launched her international career in quilting and she has taught extensively across the USA, Europe, and of course in her home country of Australia. Her business is named FOCUS ON QUILTS because she loves the meditative process of her craft and it certainly shows in her beautiful designs.

My guest today is Chris Marchini. He is a quiltmaker and pattern designer who started making original quilts because he wasn't finding patterns to match his ideas. He started to share his processes, his tips, tricks and inspiration online and his community exploded with growth. He was my guest in the past on Episode 117 and you can listen to that right here to hear his full story. I'm following up with this exciting creator because he's has so much happen in the last year!

Find his website here: ROSE CITY ORIGINALS
And you can also find him on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube as Rose City Originals.

Lina Owen has burst onto the scene to open up the discovery of quilting in her native language of Spanish through teaching, her DISCOVER QUILTING community and her podcast. And when I say burst I mean, she’s started a podcast, she teaches afternoon quilt classes for children, she created a brand new open studio in March and she has launched a series of annual English and Spanish speaking retreats on bag making and EVEN with Missouri Star Quilt Company each November!

My guest today is Adam Eddy. He is an Engineer with a passion for woodworking and a family run business that blossomed from a small seed of an idea to building a sewing table that was high quality, custom built with the quilter in mind and with plenty of storage. Eddycrest Sewing Furniture is known for it’s beauty and craftsmanship but the reviews are all about the quality and service from the Eddy family farm to the quilter’s doorstep. Today on the podcast we’ll chat about how this family run business grew from scratch, how it caters to our quilting world, and how the family works together to make it happen.
