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?

Stitching together simplified quilts full of love and laughter, she makes quilting easier, more accessible, and friendlier than ever before. Watching her tutorials feels like coming home again. With over 750,000 YouTube subscribers and more than 230 million views to date, Jenny has sparked enthusiasm for quilting and warmed her viewer’s hearts across the globe. When she moved with her growing family to Missouri over 20 years ago, she never imagined that someday they’d have a successful quilting business. Like many small towns across America, employment was scarce, so in November 2008, on a modest budget, the Doan family bought a building in Hamilton and started Missouri Star Quilt Company. At first they offered basic quilting supplies and machine quilting services, but business picked up when they started posting videos of Jenny teaching quilting tutorials online. From that time on her life changed forever.Almost 13 years later, Jenny now teaches quilting tutorials on YouTube once a week and continues to share her story everywhere she goes. It’s a labor of love and a dream come true for her. Hamilton, Missouri, has become a quilter’s paradise, attracting visitors from around the world. With the help of Jenny’s husband, Ron, her seven children, and 25 grandchildren, this family business has grown to include an entire community.Visit the A Quilting Life YouTube channel for more great video content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmSR-jDR956ATQe30JHX87wEnjoy what you heard?

Their tactile making by hand and their traditional use in the home impart deeply personal narratives of their creators, and the many histories they express reveal a complex record of America. Upending expectations about quilt displays—traditionally organized by region, form or motif—Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories is a loosely chronological presentation that is divided into seven thematic sections and incorporates the perspectives of artists, educators, academics and activists.More than 50 works on view include remarkable examples by an under-recognized diversity of artistic hands and minds from the 17th century to today, including female and male, known and unidentified, urban and rural makers; immigrants; and Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian and LGBTQ+ Americans. Standouts include Pictorial Quilt (1895–98), an icon of the MFA’s collection and one of only two known surviving quilts by Harriet Powers, an exceptional artist and storyteller born into slavery in 1837, and the recently acquired To God and Truth (2019), a vibrantly colorful and elaborately patterned work by contemporary artist Bisa Butler. While celebrating the artistry and intricacy of quilts and coverlets and the lives they document, the exhibition also invites visitors to consider the complicated legacies ingrained in the fabric of American life.Visit the A Quilting Life YouTube channel for more great video content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmSR-jDR956ATQe30JHX87wEnjoy what you heard?
