Measure Twice, Cut Once
....and other life and business lessons learned from quilting. Makers have stories! And crafters have skills!
In these casual chats and interviews, I (often with a guest) talk honestly about creativity. The joy, and hope, and even healing it can bring, and the businesses we can build doing the things we love.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Belle Brunner - Seams Sew Me
For Belle Brunner, quilting began as a hobby at the onset of the 2020 pandemic and as a way to create joy for not only herself, but for others by gifting them quilty goodness. Little did she know, she'd become hooked to all things quilts! Her only regret is that she didn't discover it sooner than age 45. She's a self taught quilter thanks to YouTube University, a lot of trial, error - ahem! - 'teaching moments', and patience.
Belle's attitude of generosity and community spirit are very evident in our visit. I know you'll be encouraged and blessed by all the ways she gives.
Don't forget to watch for Belle's brand new quilt pattern DUELING DIAMONDS launching in February!

Are you looking to ADVANCE your machine quilting skills?
Machine quilting can be very solitary, especially on a longarm. It's just not that easy to pack up your machine and head to a friend's house for the day, right? But it's important to have that community - that sharing of ideas and tips, encouragement and motivation.
