In this episode, Sherri and Chelsi welcome back Kimberly Jolly of Fat Quarter Shop to talk all about the Moonbeams Charity Quilt and Stitch Along. This year's Make-A-Wish charity quilt features Sherri and Chelsi's Strawberry Lemonade fabric. There is also a special navy print made especially for this quilt's background. This quilt pattern is free to anyone who wants to join along, but Kimberly hopes that everyone who gets the pattern will donate at least the cost of the pattern ($10) to the Make-A-Wish foundation. The quilt along will begin shortly after the Strawberry Lemonade fabric ships to stores. We anticipate it will begin in February or early March of 2024. Sherri and Chelsi also ask Kimberly about her sewing routines and how she manages her personal sewing, her business, and her family time. Kimberly then shares her insights on the current state of the quilting industry and discusses some trends she sees heading into the new year. More information on the Moonbeams charity quilt, and a link to donate to the Make-A-Wish foundation, can be found below.Help Support our Show Here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1118069/supportShow Notes Blog Post: https://www.aquiltinglife.com/a-quilting-life-podcast-episode-101-show-notesCozy Earth: https://cozyearth.com/Cozy Earth 35% Off Sitewide with the code: AQUILTINGLIFEMoonbeams (Quilt on the Wall): https://blog.fatquartershop.com/announcing-the-moonbeams-charity-quilt-along/Moonbeams Quilt Kit Reservation: http://shrsl.com/4d971Fat Quarter Shop Make a Wish Donation Page: https://secure2.wish.org/site/TR;jsessionid=00000000.app20060a?px=3293294&fr_id=5587&pg=personal&NONCE_TOKEN=7EACE7C524AAE9D0E0779E917D98F34ALaurastar Smart System Iron: http://shrsl.com/4dab7Kimberly Cuts Rotating Cutting Mat  http://shrsl.com/4bt9kSign up for the Sew Sampler Box Subscription here: http://shrsl.com/3to9eFat Quarter Shop Home Page Link: http://shrsl.com/3iq9aNOTE: Some of the links provided here are affiliate links.Where to Find Us:Facebook: A Quilting Life with Sherri & Chelsi: https://www.facebook.com/groups/459389991531728/A Quilting Life Blog: https://www.aquiltinglife.comChelsi Stratton Blog: https://chelsistratton.wordpress.com/A Quilting Life Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aquiltinglifeA Quilting Life Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aquiltinglife/Chelsi Stratton Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chelsistratton/A Quilting Life Pattern Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SherriQuiltsChelsi Stratton Pattern Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/StrattonHandmadeVisit the A Quilting Life YouTube channel for more great video content: https://www.youtube.com/aquiltinglifeEnjoy what you heard?

So, I design primarily fabric and I have been doing that since 2018. I am on my third or fourth fabric collection at this point” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“I have done a lot of textile art and didn't call myself a textile artist. I always say I am a printmaker first and everything flows from that, but I am owning it now, that I am a person who does and likes many things” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“With printmaking, you do one thing and you do it over and over again, unlike being a painter who does a one-of-a-kind one thing. A printmaker is already set up operationally, it makes sense to do the same thing over and over again” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“What's the saying like ‘walk around with the confidence of a white man and you will get what you want'?” –Nicole Angeline  in “Stitch Please”“The nice thing about the work that I do is that it is replicable. So it feels in many ways, low stakes. That I am constantly putting things out there, some will stick, some won't” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“When I find books like this one, that are good and I like them, and I like to go back to them, because not every book you get that you are gonna go back to, but this one is nice and it's very digestible” —Ada Chen in “Stitch Please”“The overall consensus seems to be celebratory and gratitude, if I can put it in two words. Folks who are celebrating that this book exists and that women of color are having their voices centred and amplified, and talking to a variety of people. And then the gratitude which extends towards you for creating and pulling this together” —Lisa Woolfork in “Stitch Please”“I wanted it to be representative. Not necessarily everybody because that's impossible, but to include people who are not included” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“In many ways, writing this book didn't feel like a race because I had this really strong sense that the community would have my back. But then I had to do everybody's story's justice in order for people to have my back”  —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please” Resources MentionedAsian Sewist Collective Stay Connected:Lisa WoolforkInstagram: Lisa WoolforkTwitter: Lisa Woolfork Jen HewettWebsite: Jen HewettInstagram: Jen Hewett This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

On this episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about running a fabric, notions, and gifts company with my guests, Mark, Brian, and Josh Dunn of Moda and United Notions. Mark Dunn got his start in the fabric industry in 1966 working with his father William Dunn at Sewing, Sales, and Services which they founded together.  In May of 1975 when Mark was 29, he moved to Texas to start United Notions Inc.  He started with a five-man operation where he would take orders in the morning and fill them at his warehouse in the afternoon. In 1991 he started Moda Fabrics, a company that created a new product category of precuts with their famous Jelly Rolls.  Brian Dunn started working at United Notions during the summers and officially started full time in 1986.  He managed and operated the Denver warehouse for 15 years as Vice President of Operations until they closed that warehouse down to consolidate all of their warehousing in their home state of Texas.  He moved back and has handled all fabric buying since then.  Josh Dunn started with the company 8 years ago after graduating from the University of Southern California with a major in Photography and business administration.  At Moda Fabrics, he is the director of international sales.  +++++ This episode is sponsored by Mitzie Shafer at Jittery Wings Quilt Co. Mitzie has authored and illustrated a new book titled Improve Your Practice: Free-Motion Quilting. She believes that quilting your beautiful quilt top doesn’t have to be frightening once you learn to stop fighting with it.

I’m always attracted to beautiful embroidery work. When I saw Kathy Shaw’s books and her work I had to learn more! If you were curious about crazy quilts and stitches, you’ll love this chat! ------------ Heidi Parkes tagline is ‘Artist - Quilts - Mending ‘ and I am intrigued by that. Quilts and Mending on the same line? Heidi will change your mind on what that means. ---------------- Leslie Jenison and I have been friends a long time, it might have started when we both did a ‘use this Nancy Drew Fabric’ challenge! She is an award winner quilter, fabric designer, and extremely amazing quiltmaker. Leslie and I chatted about how to stay healthy so we can quilt a very long time. ------------------ Lissa Alexander's newest book is all about scraps and it's fantastic! She is also the director of Marketing for Moda Fabrics, which means she is the organizer of getting all the amazing things about Moda out for us to learn. I've worked with Lissa since the first year I went into business. I'm also lucky enough to have gotten a bit of time to have her tell us about the new Color Cuts that Moda is doing! ================ Visit American Patchwork & Quilting at www.allpeoplequilt.com.

Today Dorothy talks to Stacie Bloomfield of Gingiber, a paper goods and home decor company that offers classic animal-centric illustrated designs that are sweet enough for children, but smart enough for adults.  Stacie fills us in on the nitty gritty of growing Gingiber from the ground up, online and in the wholesale world, now in 300 + retail stores and licenses her artwork to many big name brands.  She discusses how important it is to be capable of pivoting in your business when needed.   "Gingiber is hear to make people happy.  Whatever we have on a card, whatever we have an image, whatever we have on a tea towel, it's going to make someone smile."   "The reason people will keep working with you, it's not just if you were a good artist, it's if you are a nice person they will remember you.  You can say thank you, and then you can show your thank you with a note in the mail, or sending an email.  Little acts of gratitude go a long way and building those relationships.  If you have a good opportunity, recognize it is, and do some research, send them a thank you note, and really work on that relationship." "I don't need better products.  I just need slightly better than person to my left and person to my right.  Or, I just need to find a way to stand out a little bit more."  See more of Gingiber here: https://gingiber.com/   Find resources, instagram, and our Facebook Community at: www.positivelycreative.net   On Today's Show: (4:00) On Gingiber's start (5:45) Decor8 blog - Holly Becker (6:00) Featured Etsy seller 2011 THE WEEK AFTER HER BABY WAS DUE!!!
