✨ Episode Summary: I'm diving into a topic that's close to my heart and essential for long-term success: how to make business friends. We often hear about marketing strategies and growth plans—but what about the relationships behind the scenes? Business friends can offer support, accountability, and even joy in a journey that can sometimes feel isolating. But making those connections isn't always easy.

Recently, I attended a Quilt Fest at the Pioneer Hall in Freeman, South Dakota. There were 155 quilts displayed, and the featured quilter was a 94-year-old resident of the Salem home. Throughout her life, she has been involved in the making of hundreds of quilts, and love has turned the patterns into works of art. As I stood there by the Christmas quilt, the wedding ring quilt, and many others, there were many warm thoughts that flashed through my mind. In the many quilts I have given away in my lifetime, I have included this poem entitled "Warm Thoughts.""Love is a quilt. A quilt is love, both love and quilt should be soft enough to comfort you, bright enough to cheer you, generous enough to enfold you, light enough to let you move freely, strong enough to withstand adversity, durable enough to last a lifetime and given gladly from the heart." Perhaps we can even say that God's love is a quilt - bright enough to cheer you and generous enough to enfold you and comfort you. An unknown author has written these thoughts on "Another Comforter." "Overnight visits to Grandma's house were a whole new world. Grandma turning the crank on the butter churn, kneading yeasty homemade bread, ironing on the board placed between two chairs with a flat iron heated on the old wooden stove. Then bedtime came with the long truck up the stairs, strange noises, dark shadows. But grandma would always say, there's an extra comforter on the foot of the bed. What a haven. Just pull that comforter up over my head, and strange noises were shut out. Lurking shadows disappeared. No bright flashes of lightning could be seen, no cold chill could penetrate its warmth. But most of all, every hand stitched piece of that comforter radiated grandma's love and care. And grandma reminds me of God, not only did he send his son for our redemption, He went one step beyond and sent another comforter, a haven for every need, shelter, for every storm, light for our darkest days, healer of our deepest sorrows, and the warmth of his very own love.” A Quilters Song, "Oh, give me a scrap bag filled to the brim with bright bits and pieces. So according to when I might make a rainbow or some butterfly wings, a mountain, a sunset and number of things, I thank you, dear Lord, and make quilts be your praise for the stitches and patches that brighten my days." Barbara Kraun. More Warm Thoughts: Oh Lord, make the scraps of my life something useful. Stitch into my life your own design and use me as you will. May you have many warm thoughts in the good ol summertime! Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea written by Dr. Luetta G.

Episode 388 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Andy Ellner, Founder & CEO of Quilt Health. Yes, there are endless possibilities in terms of the platform shift to AI and how it will disrupt industries, but the one that I'm most excited about is the healthcare industry. Could there be a great moment to hopefully improve lives and maybe even eradicate diseases or even cure cancer someday? The future is unknown but these advanced in technology certain give a lot of hope. To tackle these big problems, we need people who are not only the top brilliant minds on this planet, but they also need to be risk takers in terms of building these companies. Andy fits the bill. Not only is he an MD with top academic credentials, but he's also a serial entrepreneur. And probably the most important quality of Andy is that he comes from a medical family that's passionate about making a difference across the world and that quality is deeply rooted into his mindset as well. His latest company is Quilt Health, a digital health company dedicated to bridging gaps in treatment access for complex diseases. They are focused on sickle cell disease and plan to expand to address other complex conditions. Quilt Health just announced a $6M seed round of funding led by MaC Venture Capital and Underscore Ventures, with participation from Meridian Street Capital, BoxGroup, Watershed VC, and Coalition Operators. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics like: * Some key lessons learned while building healthcare startups, including the importance of finding the right business model. * Andy's background story including his connection to the Baseball Hall of Fame and his work helping to solve the global HIV pandemic where his learnings from this timeframe have carried over to Quilt Health. * Co-Founding the Harvard Medical School Center for Primary Care. * Starting Firefly Health to address the inefficiencies of primary care with a virtual-first care model. * What led him down the path of starting Quilt Health and their plans for disrupting the industry. * His Minimum Viable Team philosophy and advice around hiring. * What excites him about the potential AI use cases in the healthcare industry. * And so much more.
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.

Old jeans. Worn shirts. Scraps from flour sacks and homemade dresses. Nothing is too humble for a quilt. In BAMPFA's new exhibit “Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California,” quilts tell the story of resilience, family, and cultural continuity. The exhibit highlights the quiltmaking skills that many migrants brought with them in the Second Great Migration from 1940-1970—and passed on to their children and other kin, spurring the creation of a new wave of African American quiltmaking. We'll talk to the curator and a contemporary quiltmaker in Oakland about the exhibit. Guests: Ora Clay, member, African American Quilt Guild of Oakland Elaine Yau, associate curator and academic liaison, BAMPFA – Yau curated the exhibit "Routed West: Twentieth Century African American Quilts in California" Learn more about your ad choices.

My mother, Gretchen Elizabeth Wetzel, was born in Glendive Montana in 1949. Her mother's family had arrived in covered wagons in Willow Creek Valley in 1891. But this is not where the traveling ended. After moving to Missoula, my grandfather was hired by the Ford Foundation as an educational adviser for the Pakistani Government to set up pilot schools in East Pakistan. My mom was fifteen, when her family moved to Dhaka (at that time East Pakistan, now Bangladesh). Since there was no high school for her, she was sent to a boarding school in New Delhi. It was her first, but certainly not last, big adventure. When I look at my mom's life, I think of my Grandma's quilt, every piece of fabric tells its own story. My mom has lived in the most breathtaking places of Montana, behind mud walls in an Indian village, New York, Hamburg, Berlin, Valencia, and the quaint little village of Beyenburg, where I was born. Her life has been everything but boring. One of my earliest memories is seeing her as a child, her gorgeous brown braid cascading down her shoulder, thinking she looked like a queen. It is truly an honor to share her story with you. https://flatheadbeacon.com/e-edition/12_03_2020/mobile/index.html#p=76https://dailyinterlake.com/news/2018/mar/15/betty-wetzel-102-6/

What do you get when you cross a beloved British baking competition show and an Agatha Christie-like mystery? The Great British Bump-Off! John Allison joins Jimmy to talk about the 4 issue series he wrote with artist Max Sarin. John talks about the development of the series, being a fan of The Great British Bake Off, and why after writing the series he doesn't think he can watch the show anymore. Jimmy and John discuss the things they do to replenish the well of creativity and John chats about his early exposure to US sitcoms. This all leads to talk about John and Max's follow-up The Great British Bump-Off: Kill or Be Quilt, out April 9th from Dark Horse Comics. The title was something John had on hand for some time until he realized it could be the perfect sequel for the further adventures of Shauna Wickle.

Today is like the color confidential episode of the Quilter on Fire podcast except its not confidential – we are going to spill the beans on color. My guest today uses colour as a principal element in her work, applied in layers, and created with the intention to surprise, evoke calming emotions and a sense of joy.

Who's getting more time to shine nowadays? What's the opposite of Looney Tune Land? And are we finally in the good times? We patch together these questions and more as we watch Season 1, Episode 11 of Family Matters.Alex Diamond, David Kenny, and John McDaniel heard that the long-running network sitcom Family Matters ends with side character Steve Urkel going to space. And the best way to figure out how that happened - obviously - is to watch the last episode first and make our way backwards through nearly ten years of television.Join our countdown to number one (and our slow descent into madness) in all the places you expect internet people to be:Website: jumpingtheshuttle.spaceEmail: jumpingtheshuttle@gmail.comInstagram: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Twitter: @JumpingShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577TikTok: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Brought to you by Smooth My Balls

If you answered yes to any of those questions, today's episode will speak to you. Chris Stevenson has been developing the National Museum of American Religion for 15 years. Currently a digital-first project, Chris and his team began the Religion in the American Experience podcast as a stepping-stone to exhibits. They are also talking about a traveling exhibit.

The main reason I wanted to see The Blood Quilt was because it was about a family making a quilt together and having made some quilts with my family, I was interested. I don't see a lot of plays about stuff I know about so I was curious. Would I gain some insight into my own experience? Discover some hidden metaphor in my family's crafting? Would I learn something about crafting – or maybe the craft of playwriting?To keep reading I Went to See a Play About a Quilt visit the Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.This is Episode 436Song: NamesImage of the quilt I made, with my family, for my friend's babyTo support this podcast:Give it 5 stars in Apple Podcasts.

Do you wonder if it's really possible to earn money as a quilter or creative entrepreneur? You're not alone! I recently came across this question in a Facebook group, and the answers shocked me—most people believed you could make a little money, but not a real income. Well, I'm here to tell you that's simply not true. Not only do I make a great income as a quilter, but so do many others in this industry—an industry, by the way, that's worth over a billion dollars and continues to grow every year! The real question isn't if you can make money, but how you can do it. In this episode, I break down the tangible steps you need to take to turn your creative passion—whether it's quilting, sewing, cooking, or art—into a profitable business. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✔ Why the idea that "quilters can't make good money" is a myth ✔ Key steps to start (or grow) your creative business ✔ How to shift your mindset and see the real opportunities in front of you If you've ever dreamed of making a full-time income (or even just extra cash) doing what you love, this episode is for you!
