Not Your Granny's Quilt Show – Details, episodes & analysis

Meagan Guité is a Project Coordinator for Ruby Star Society who loves color, anything vintage and pets. Meagan's mom, Sarah, taught her how to quilt over 15 years ago when she opened a quilt shop. Meagan worked for her mom, and learned to quilt so she could answer questions for customers. Meagan's joy of making things with fabric comes from Sarah, and is something Meagan cherishes even more now. After Sarah passed away in 2021, Meagan found a new energy to create and sew. She quilted through the pain of losing her mother as a way to keep her close. Since then, Meagan quit her corporate job, and in a leap-of-faith moment, she applied for the job posted by Ruby Star Society looking for a project coordinator/social media/marketing expert. She got the job (that she splits with Audrey Savage) and now gets to live in the creative space of quilting and sewing. As the Project Coordinator, Meagan organizes the projects that will be mocked up in new fabric lines being released. She also helps write and create project plans and patterns. The new 10 Years of Magic pattern is one of Meagan's designs. Meagan is clearly an asset to Ruby Star Society and the world of quilting. Her ideas and excitement for design are so inspiring! Go check out her work while you listen. Please enjoy!

You’re here because you love podcasts (or quilting, or both) — we love ‘em too! One of our favorite podcasts is “How Did This Get Made” hosted by the hilarious Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas. It’s a podcast about bad movies and good friends. In this episode, we thought it would be fun to do our own riff on HDTGM with a quilty film from 1995, How to Make an American Quilt starring a young Winona Ryder, a bunch of other recognizable faces, and a brief but terrifying appearance by Jared Leto. Here’s what we thought.

In this episode, we're joined by Beth Milton to talk about her story and reminisce about our quilting family. Beth is who helped get us started in this wonderful craft. We are so thankful for her and for agreeing to come on this show and talk with us!

In this episode, we're joined by Amy Carter of Experience the Quilt to talk all things art quilting. Don't know what that is? Don't worry, we didn't either. Amy paints her own fabrics, appliques amazing patterns, and melts things in her house to find out what textures she can create. She doesn't believe in traditional quilt patterns and loves to break the rules. Hey, we love that too.
