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

Phyllis Biffle Elmore

2025/07/14

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

2025/06/23

I see Sara Browne and her cousins as heroes. When Covid and the lockdown began she could have just looked after herself, but she reached out to others to lift them up! She continues to add value to people’s lives even after the lockdown has ended. She sees herself as an enabler by helping people learn the parts they don’t know how to do for themselves.You might find yourself looking at the sky in a different way after this interview with Sara.

2025/05/05

I need to add a note to this episode before it begins. I had emailed Mel a few weeks ago for a follow up and didn’t get a reply, but I know she’s a busy lady and didn’t think much about it. Then today I received a note from Carolina that she had also reached out to Mel several times with no response. So Carolina did more digging and found Mel Shields obituary. Mel passed away on April 5th, 2025. Only five days after this interview was recorded.This was quite a shock to us. But I can’t

I am so thankful to Mel Shields for introducing me to Erika Pinkley. I love Erika’s “can do” attitude. She seems to be consistent in seeing what she wants to accomplish, finds a way to do it, and then be told that was one of the hardest things to do.We didn’t chat about Erika’s logo during the interview, but as I was again looking through her website I read that she was inspired by her mom’s favorite quilt block design, the Monkey Wrench, when she started Little Glass Quilts.
