QOF Episode 150 - Amy Butler

Im so excited to chat today with Amy Butler. She is known worldwide for her colour and design as a multi passionate creator. You can spot her designs in a second. I think her aesthetic is best described as comfort, in my mind anyway, because every photo on her website evokes a sense of world travel, but also the joy and comfort of home. She has accomplished so much in her career, but always seems to follow her own unique path. And its been brilliant to watch the journey of success through recurring self discovery. Shes not afraid to embrace change. This episode is one of those ones that left me wanting to ask a hundred more questions.

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 heres 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!

QOF Episode 137 - Samantha Krebsbach

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 shes also the inventor of a notion you just might have to add to your toolbox if you love English paper piecing.  Samanthas website: KrebsbachHuberCrafts https://krebsbachhuber-crafts.square.site/product/glue-stick-precision-tip/111 TODAYS SHOW SPONSORS: www.thequilting.ca http://www.thequilting.ca/  (use the code FIRE20 at checkout) Angels Sewing and Quilting https://www.angelssewing.com/  (20% off fabric, notions, and accessories with the code quilteronfire) Support the show https://www.buymeacoffee.com/QuilteronFire by buying Brandy a virtual coffee.  Support the show https://www.buymeacoffee.com/QuilteronFire Thank you for listening to the Quilter on Fire Podcast.

He has brought to the world the incredible pictorial quilts you will see below.
