I am surprising you with a new episode in the middle of summer...yay! The main reason for this episode is to share a couple of chats I had with a couple of quilting companies I met with at the H+H Americas show in June.

*Affiliate Link to Sew Tites: STEPHANIESOCHA to receive 15% off any SewTites purchase via the "STEPHANIESOCHA" promo code link.

Jessica and Jamie are sisters and the owners of SewTites the makers of the famous magnetic sewing pins. Coming out at the end of September 2023, is their new product, Sew Magnetic Cutting System. Pre-orders are open now.

Julie Luoma and her husband are the owners of Off the Wall Quilt. This is an online (and traveling in person) quilt store that specializes in custom laser cut acrylic rulers and templates for just about anything, appliqué, longer quilting and more. They also developed EziGrip rulers for quilters. The backs of the rulers have a non-skid backing that keeps fabric and the ruler from moving.
Also, check out their portable quilt wall that can easily break down, fit into a small bag and travel with you.

Season 6 is just around the corner. Until then, keep making and decorating!

Happy New Year Everybody!!!

On the first segment of this episode, I chat about what I did, what I made and what I watched on Netflix during the holidays. Check my show notes for links.

Segment 2:
Meet Jessica Pierce, owner of 5 out of 4 Patterns. Jessica is an amazing person, and we had such a great time chatting about her, and her family and her awesome business, 5 out of 4 Patterns. We had such a good time, that we talked for an hour and a half! Haha! I split up this long conversation into 2 episodes, and I will release the part 2 episode next Thursday, January 17th (so you won’t have to wait 2 weeks for part 2).

Jessica has an extensive education in a field far far away from sewing …science, space and super technical teaching accolades that I could not begin to pretend I understand. Like I said, she is an amazing and super smart woman, oh, and did I mention she has 6 little ones…whaaaa??? Yes, she has 6 kids, and is running the world with her independent pattern company.

It is the last episode of 2018! Do you find at the end of every year, you are marveling at how it went by so fast? Well, here we are again, nearing the end of another year. When I reflect back on this past year, I realize I did more than I thought. I put together a Best Sewing Stuff 2018. There were a lot of notions, patterns and tools that I used a lot over 2018 and these are the best of them.
I share my look ahead for 2019, which for me means setting goals for the year.
Lastly, I update on what's happening here in Chicagoland - what I'm watching, and reading, including youtube and netflix plus a new movie at the actual theater, as well as a Christmas story by Frances Dowell and a long awaited library book.

My guest today is Irene Staal, owner and pattern designer of Sugaridoo. I had so much fun chatting with Irene, and learning more about her patterns in Amigurumi crochet stuffed animals, and foundation paper pieced quilts. Irene is in the Netherlands, and I discovered her YouTube channel early this year, called Sugaridoo. Irene is a great teacher and her videos are so beautiful and are made in easy formats for learning.

Amigurumi crochet and foundation paper piecing without having to rip paper away are just a few of the many things we talk about.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This is truly a special episode, I cannot tell you what a joy it is for me to have Stephanie Kendron from http://modernsewciety.com/ ; The Modern Sewciety Podcast on the show today! Aside from Pat Sloane, Modern Sewciety is one of the first sewing related podcasts I subscribed to, and I have been a loyal listener ever since.

We all love her podcast and have been given so much great information and stories from other makers, designers, and companies from our sewing and quilting community on Stephanie's podcast. I am greatly inspired by Stephanie, and look...we have the same awesome name! Great names and minds think alike :)

On this episode of Make and Decorate, I get to ask Stephanie Kendron to share her story and what motivates and inspires her on a daily basis, what machines she sews on, how her sewing and craft has evolved over the years, and - of course all about her podcast.

Stephanie Kendron is also a Cricut influencer, and she talks about the awesome Cricut Maker that has a rotary blade option to cut fabrics without adding stabilizers...whaaa??!!?

I hope you all enjoy time with your family and friends this Thanksgiving weekend. Make some hot chocolate or cafe mochas, listen to my show, and and of course you will pull your sewing machines out and make something - right?! Yay!!
