It's been a whirlwind of a few weeks here in Redbird Quilt Co. land but today I'm excited to share that I've been invited to chat with Pat Sloan, "The Voice of Quilting", on her weekly Podcast for American Patchwork & Quilting (aka All People Quilt). Woohoo!
I Know! Is that Crazy or What ?
When Pat emailed me I about fell over... I've listened to Pat's shows for a while now, especially when one of my Quilty Mentors is on, like Wendy Sheppard & Karlee Porter, and Lisa Bongean, and Carrie Nelson (Miss Rosie's Mom)... Just to name a few from recent shows.
Anyhow -- with working full-time it's sometimes hard to steal away for the live show -- so it's nice to know you can always listen later.
For tomorrow though (Monday, May 9th) I'll be on at 4pm Eastern for a 12 minute segment and following me are some amazing talented ladies!!
Oh Goodness.... !!
I was already excited to be chatting with THE Pat Sloan but when I saw my image on the same page as these other ladies I was really humbled.
I'm a bit nervous but here's the scoop:
Pat and I are going to be chatting a bit about Free Motion Quilting
and a bit about my history
-- and we'll sneak in a snippet about my newly self-published
(with A LOT of help)
collection of my hand-drawn quilty doodles
(thanks for all your encouragement on this)

Back Cover:
I hope to have a few tips to pass along too!
A Quilter's Doodles is made up of 20 of my
#dailyquiltydoodles
shown on Facebook and Instagram for the last several months.
I doodle at night or early morning
to enhance my Free Motion Quilting skills
and learn and practice FMQ motif.
Doodling helps build muscle memory so when you're stitching the designs out you don't have to calculate the motif as you go...
Here is one of my more recent doodles... from March 2016:

From the bottom of my heart....
Many thanks for supporting my quilty adventures and crazy pathway
to where I am now.
From blogging, to applique, wool,

I hope to keep giving back to all those that gave to and supported me.
Hugs my friends -- until tomorrow.
