My guest today is Lorena Uriarte. She is an internationally recognized, Sydney-based textile artist, a modern quilter, and educator known for her vibrant designs, intricate handwork, and innovative use of repurposed fabrics, often creating unique quilted coats. With over two decades of experience, she teaches patchwork and quilting workshops locally in Australia and globally, merging traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics, and she was the 2024 QuiltCon Raleigh Charity Quilt designer. 
A quote from this podcast episode:
"It's really important to constantly be learning and try new things. And part of that is that not everything works. We all make mistakes in quilting and in life. Forgive yourself and move on."  - Lorena Uriarte

If you love scrappy goodness, and lots of tiny pieces… you’re going to love this episode. My guest today is Leanne Parsons – the Devoted Quilter. She’s a Canadian pattern designer with over 40 patterns in her shop, a quilt teacher, and free-motion quilting lover, who has been quilting since the late ’90s, blogging for over a decade, and designing quilt patterns that blend contemporary style with a love for traditional blocks. She has a scrappy membership you’ll love to help you turn those treasured scraps into quilts! And she was featured as the first designer in the all new Quilt The North boxes. If you are Canadian and you haven’t heard about this box – you ‘re gonna love it. We’ll give you more details later in this podcast, but right now - let’s explore the story of Leanne Parsons.

My guest today is Mike O’Dell of Legit Kits! With a full time job as a nurse anesthetist, Mike had the luxury of trying out a side hustle that didn’t need to put food on the table. He’s been sewing for decades so his newfound joy with the FPP project in 2020 was the perfect fit to give it a try. Legit kits now has a team of full-time employes, and brings in freelance designers to boost its offerings with fresh new designs that cater to quilters of all levels from beginner to advanced and everything in between.
