A podcast for quilters about quilters. It's been said that every quilt has a story and it's so true. I wanted to hear about the people behind these wonderful quilts and thought you'd enjoy hearing about their lives, also. Enjoy meandering through the episodes to find out about the very interesting people behind the quilts!
I’d have to give Jackie Brown the extra patience award. I am so thankful that she worked around my schedule when I not only had to cancel on her once, but twice because of my medical issues. Then what a thrill it was for me that her daughter, Amy, popped in to say HI as we started the interview. Such a wonderful day for me!
Jackie is passionate about her work as a teacher, designer and long arm quilter. She simply can't think of anything sheI'd rather do! For her the most rewarding part of her work is seeing the look of excitement and satisfaction on the faces of her customers, whether she’s finishing their quilt or teaching them how to quilt for themselves. She thanks God for her husband, children, and grandchildren as well as the people who have given her the opportunity to serve them through Jackie’s Machine Quilting.

Christine Lindebak
Christine Lindebak is forever grateful to her parents for supporting her on her sewing journey from such a young age to where she is now. Can you imagine being so young when you began to sew that you can’t even imagine not being able to do so? Sewing runs through the fiber of who Christine is and it’s exciting to hear how it has shaped her life.
Here are a couple of quilts that Christine has made
This is the dress she made when she was young that we chatted about
Here are some of Christine's clothing patterns that she has used quilts in
Here's Christine's mom that had so much patience and encouragement for Christine
Can't forget Christine's sewing buddy, Owen, and her fetherweight

Phyllis Biffle Elmore
The way Phyllis Biffle Elmore feels about the quilt that her Grandmother Lula gave her is how I think many quilters hope others feel when we give them a quilt.
With significant history and mesmerizing storytelling Phyllis has written Quilt of Souls transforming oral tradition into a beautifully written document, powerfully presented and preserved for posterity. She stitches together true tales of racism, sexism, and colorism, but also strength and pride, creating a multigenerational patchwork honoring her family and ancestors.
This is the quilt that Phyllis' Grandmother Lula made for Phyllis and a picture of Lula Horn.
This was the last quilt that Phyllis' Grandmother Lula made when she was over 100 years old
And this quilt Phyllis calls it Smokey Quilt. It was in a fire but wasn't destroyed.
