On this episode of The Sew Off Kilter Podcast, Ian and Becca sit down with Steven Bland and his husband Walter for a fun and insightful conversation about quilting, creativity, and community. Steven shares how he went from paper crafting and teaching high school English to becoming a quilting content creator on YouTube. He opens up about building his platform, hosting virtual retreats, and what he’s learned along the way, both behind the sewing machine and behind the camera. The group dives into favorite projects, tips for quilters at any level, and how technology, including AI tools, is starting to play a role in the creative process. Along the way, there are plenty of laughs, honest moments, and a reminder of just how important community is in the quilting world. Whether you’re brand new to quilting or have years of experience, this episode is packed with stories, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on finding your creative voice.
