My guest today is Luke Haynes. You have heard mentions of him in past episodes with Zak, Heidi, and Joe the Quilter. I don't even have to use their last names, because if you've listened to those episodes, the stories they tell are now emblazoned in our hearts. But in this episode I'll be chatting with Luke Haynes.

He is known for an art practice in full view in the community, in the world. He puts his idea  of comfort and utility through quilting into the public domain and starts conversations with every stitch and with every installation. He has quilts in the permanent collections of museums across the USA. He has been featured as innovative, influential, and a must see in major press across the nation, and he has mounted dozens of solo exhibitions of quilts with a purpose - to open up the conversation.

Gudrun Erla is a pattern designer, writer, and is famous for creating her stripology rulers, but something that really caught my eye was the explosion in growth of her community over the pandemic by just giving the quilters what they need. When we all felt trapped at home with lockdowns, Gudrun created events that brought us together, doing what we love. Today, her business, GE Designs, has grown into a one stop shop for everything quilting.

My guest today is Heidi Parkes. She is a quilter, textile artist, and yoga therapist. She is a sought after teacher and speaker on the quilting scene and has exhibited her work in art and textile museums across the US. I could hardly even write this little intro myself, because I loved every word in her bio on her website, so here's an excerpt from that;  "Often using specific textiles, like an heirloom tablecloth, bedsheet, or cloth teabag, Heidi adds subtle meaning and material memory from the start. Engaging in the worlds of art, quilts, mending, and social media, Heidi is an advocate for the domestic realms, slow stitching, and mindfulness." - Heidi Parkes 

That was so well written. I just had to use that in the intro. I hope you love this episode!

My guest today is Zak Foster. He is a quilt maker who loves working with repurposed materials like old clothes, worn out linens, leftover shirting materials, and thrown out umbrellas even, and vintage tablecloths. He makes custom quilts and engages in some really cool ways with his quilting community online.

He's doing all kinds of fun stuff with friends and mentors, and I can't wait to get into this. It's going to be a conversation about using what you can use up to do what you love and so much more.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! It's another great spooky themed episode with my guest Kimberly Peers-Moore. She is a quilt maker, a social media influencer, and the creator of Mr. Bones. He is a tiny skeleton who loves to sew, craft, and bake, and Kimberly has created a wonderful little world for us to follow along on his adventures.

In her TikTok profile, she writes, creating your daily dose of skeletonin, which is so cute. She humbly lurks behind the scenes of this Mr. Bones world, but she is exceptionally funny, and I can't wait to dive into a super fun Halloween episode.

To find Kimberlee and her adventures go to @Mr.Bones_Sews on TikTok, Instagram or Facebook.

My guest today is Samantha Krebsbach. I first met Samantha at QuiltCon last year when I stopped her in her tracks to ask her about her quilted runners. They were purple patchwork with ombre laces and rainbow stitching and I wanted to take them home with me. When I started to chat with her, I realized that she is a pattern designer, she does professional edge to edge long arm services, and custom laser cutting. And she's also the inventor of a notion you just might have to add to your toolbox if you love English paper piecing.
