This episode is all about organizing your space. Amanda got some information from some of you from Instagram about the items you use to organize your fabric. In this episode, Amanda also interviews the CEO of Smart Labels, David Hewlett. Amanda was able to try the Smart Labels before the interview. The hope is to help add to the awesome collection of ways we organize our spaces, and inspire you if you need it. A quilter's space is a sacred space. Organization - whatever that looks like - helps the flow of creativity. Hopefully this is helpful for any of you who want ideas for how to store your supplies in a way that keeps you creating!

Welcome to the 100th Episode of Not Your Granny's Quilt Show!
Karlee Porter is a professional quilter who came to the industry in a non-traditional way. Karlee has always been artistic and loved sharing her art with her friends and classmates all through school. To earn extra money, Karlee would sell her designs and homemade caramels. When she was out of high school, newly married, and needing a job, she worked for HandiQuilter as a builder of subcomponents for the longarm machines. This is how Karlee was introduced to quilting. When she realized she could translate her drawings and art style onto fabric, she practiced for hours at work and at home to hone her skills.
In 2014, Karlee wrote and self-published her book "Graffiti Quilting: A Simple Guide to Complex Designs". This year is the 10th anniversary of the first edition of her book. However, Karlee has tripled the size of the first book and the next Graffiti Quilting Class participants will receive the new version of the book in their Welcome Kit!

Janice Reimer is a Structural Biologist by day and a Quilter by night...and weekends. After resisting becoming a quilter for much of her life, Janice was introduced to EPP and whole-cloth hand quilting. The rest, as they say, is history. Janice was born and raised in the Canadian prairies, and after working in San Diego for three years, she returned to Canada. Janice's analytical mind helps her create modern-traditionalist quilt patterns that have eye-catching design and flow.
Janice's most recent pattern, "Saros", plays with the asymmetry of the cycle of eclipses. Its modern design is a visual delight, and appeals to the precision-focused quilter.
Since recording this episode, Janice became a QuiltCon ribbon winner with her quilt titled "Anechoic". She received the MQG Excellence Award. Go check it out!

The only thing Kate from @quiltwithmisskate loves more than quilts, is friendship! Kate’s first job ever was at a quilt store folding FQs, later becoming store manager to Virginia’s largest quilt shop, Patchwork Plus, later still becoming the Moda / Ruby Star Society rep for the southeast. Then, she met the great love of her life and moved to Maui. Which leads us to today! Although a long-time quilter, Kate is relatively new to the online quilt world, as moving to Maui forced he out of her comfort zone and onto the internet to find quilty friends! When not quilting Kate can be found traveling the world, reading like a fiend, championing escape rooms and eating tacos while watching trash tv and writing snail mail.

Amber Elliot is the artist/pattern designer/quilter/educator behind Alderwood Studio. She has been sewing all her life, and has always loved bringing various fabrics together to give them new life. As a child, she used her grandmother's old clothes to create new fashion for her mom to wear. Then as a teen, Amber decided that she was going to make a quilt, so she did. Since then, Amber has quilted on and off, but when she started doing it more seriously, she realized that the design and the pattern layout was her favorite part. Up to that point, Amber had never used someone else's pattern. But, realizing that she wanted to try writing her patterns, she started purchasing patterns so she could learn how it was done. As Amber was building her pattern-writing skills, she had the idea for a subscription box that would bring fun projects right to your door (or inbox). In addition to the Modern Makes box, Amber felt compelled to create a pattern-writing course for budding designers. She decided to help other people do what she struggled to do on her own. If you know anyone who has taken her course, then you know that her platform builds strong partnerships in the quilting community. Amber believes in the old adage - "a rising tide lifts all boats". And as she pursues her dreams, Amber is now one of Riley Blake's new fabric designers! Her fabric line comes out this Fall, so call your local quilt shops to request it!
Amber's designs are beautiful and classically modern. They hold the title of "modern heirloom" and can be found in her shop online, in her book "Modern Heirloom Quilting" and at local quilt shops near you! Please enjoy Amber!Find Amber here:

Tara Evans is the owner/artist/designer behind Taralee Quiltery. As a student, Tara thrived in math, science and the arts. Her main focus was to take as many classes in the arts as she could. Amanda and Tara attended rival high schools in Boise, but the two ended up in their respective schools' choir programs. Painting was Tara's original outlet, which ultimately led her to study Fine Art in college. Before graduating, she got married and soon after becoming a mother, she started sewing for them. In 2018 Tara designed and made her first quilt pattern and the rest is history! Taralee Quiltery was born from wanting to share her love of art with the world and give other people access to her creative process by purchasing her patterns to make their own art. Tara sells her patterns both printed and PDF, as well as curated bundles. If you haven't seen her Ruby Star Starry bundles that are based on popular movies, you should check them out! Tara's style has high visual impact. Her quilts are designed to be show stoppers. Her aim is to push the boundaries in her artistic style, and in the quilting community at large. In this episode, Tara and Amanda discuss their responses to questions that were sent to Tara from some of her followers on Instagram. All the people/shops, as well as the articles they mentioned are linked below.

Quilting is Ben Millett's creative outlet outside his work at an agriculture company in Des Moines, Iowa. Ben explores color and shape by applying contemporary color palettes to traditional quilt blocks, turning digital concepts into a physical reality with fabric and thread. He creates to play, to communicate ideas, to further the gay agenda, to make what he wants to see.
Ben dives in a bit with Amanda about the process of entering quilts into a quilt show (and specifically QuiltCon). Ben talks about the ups and downs of it all and the mindset he espouses to keep moving forward, even in the face of rejection.
As we approach QuiltCon 2024, Amanda and Ben share their excitement for attending and seeing/meeting all their quilty friends that they know on- and off-line. Ben has a stunning collection of work, which can be found at any of the links below. Enjoy!site, with blog and shop: https://benmillett.us/

Ann Skaehill is the quilter/designer behind Crafty Moose Quilts. She started sewing in 2011 when she was gifted the use of her grandmother's sewing machine. Ann has built her brand and business around making t-shirt quilts, designing quilt patterns and loving her inventory of fat quarters. Ann is one of the Nine Patch Quilt Collective, whose launch of the Sweater Weather Sampler was a huge hit! Ann's block, Warm Woodlands is a fun patchwork twist on fall foliage. Among her traditionally-pieced patterns, Ann is coming up with a way to help make t-shirt quilts a bit easier for those who want to tackle the task on their own.
"T-shirt Tiles" will soon be available for purchase, taking some of the struggle and mystery out of making a t-shirt quilt. Please enjoy Ann!Find Crafty Moose Quilts here!
