Rochelle and Leslie are packing up to head to Liberty, MO to see Angela Walters and stitch for 4 days with their friends! Super exciting! Rochelle apologizes to more long-armers. Leslie is a 'fan' of the Baptist Fan… see what we did there? She would use it for every quilt if Rochelle let her. But, using the same pantograph is fine! They discuss ways to make it unique! Find out what it means when Rochelle says “huh”. Rochelle convinces Leslie to try a different type of batting and she goes kicking and screaming. Listeners blaming the gals for them ramping up their Joe. Private Joe vs Major Joe. Rochelle decides she is going to channel her inner Leslie again for the Angela Angela Angela retreat. Rochelle is normally Miss Congeniality. But she is trying to focus!

Rochelle and Leslie are huge fans of Veruschka Zarate (Pride and Joy Quilting). She’s an amazing modern paper piecer and we ooh and ahh over her work! She is tempting Rochelle with her no-spend September. Find out what Rochelle wants to buy and can’t until October

In this episode, Rochelle and Leslie talk about BBL... backing, binding and labels. This is something we all seem to put off until the end and perhaps there is a better way! They also talk about all their favorite quilters and designers. Rochelle has to apologize to all long armers everywhere and still can't spell. This episode is packed with fun stories about favorite snacks, weird antics of Rochelle's husband, Lance and what a big deal Leslie is now (since Rochelle was a big deal last week).

Rochelle and Leslie talk about a million things in this episode, but finally settle the mouse/cat purse debate. They revisit the mansions of Miami and start talking about their upcoming retreat with Angela Walters. Traveling with friends and figuring out quilting retreat sleeping arrangements can be interesting. They talk through that and how it's best to decide. Also, long arm tips! Not for long-armers necessarily... but more like ways to save money and help your long-armer at the same time! You don't want to miss this packed episode!

Rochelle is getting ready for cruising week while Leslie took a quick cruise to the colonoscopy. Rochelle  had a little confusion about vaseline, but no worries! It was quickly sorted out.  Rochelle talks about her Breathalyzer test story from high school… yes. You read that correctly. Ro found her Joe and they are getting closer each week! She sewed projects this past weekend and even got the binding finished! Hear about the status of Rochelle's quilt that she is picking out for her customer and how she finally came clean with Mary Kay and the lesson she learned in the process! We also address Rochelle’s sunglasses addiction and last meals. What would your last meal be? You might be surprised to hear what Rochelle’s last meal would be. Or maybe not!

Leslie quilts three quilts over the weekend and is given a new camp name by Rochelle. But Leslie already had one and it seemed like a good fit. Rochelle talks about her problem quilt that she is still ripping stitches from and the reason why black thread is her new nemesis. They talk EQ8, Frixion pens, batting, gloves (not batting gloves), panels and so much more. This is a jam packed episode that is full of great conversation and good laughs. Enjoy!

This episode is jam packed with some girl talk. Rochelle decided we needed camp names. We aren’t going to camp, but she did it anyway. Can you guess what they are? We also talk about Rochelle’s favorite food and you won’t guess what it is. Likely not what you would expect! Finally, we talk about the quilt cruise coming up in August. So many planned shenanigans! Sit back, plan your next quilting project and enjoy the podcast! It's a fun girl talk hour!

Century Quilter’s Etiquette - 

1. Botox is drug of choice
2. Always wear a string of pearls because you’ll feel pretty (they don’t have to be real)
3. Underwear is optional, but an apron is necessary
4. Snacks are a must (peanut M&Ms, hot tamales, sour patch kids, toasted cheez-its, Nutella, popcorn, chocolate covered caramels, Waterloo, sweet tea and prosecco are our favorites!)
5. Must wear quilter’s t-shirts (short sleeves and long sleeves to cover all seasons)
6. For a 3-day retreat, no showers allowed. More than 3 days, showers are allowed.
7. You can sew with dirty dishes in sink, laundry that is needing to be done, unmade bed and layers of dust. Doing those things will stunt your creativity.

Covid strikes! Leslie goes 2 years without it and then BAM! Covid. So pardon the scratchy voice this time! In this episode, Rochelle figures out direct messages (DMs) and issues her weekly apologies while Leslie is accused of being a food-tease by one of our listeners and has a new name because of it. 

We continue to hold Rochelle accountable with labels and her room organization. It’s a lot for her, but she is making progress! Rochelle comes up with a new way to use her AccuQuilt and it benefits more than just herself. For you pre-washers out there, Rochelle has a tip for pre-washing a bolt of fabric! We talk thread, thimbles, light boxes, and quilting safety. A lot of good stuff packed into this episode! Enjoy!
