He offers candid advice for entrepreneurs on risk-taking and aligning business vision with funding goals.

Sampler Spree Sew Along Sampler Spree by Susan Ache This is about projects that no longer bring us joy. That are a chore to work on and you really don’t care what the finished product is cuz it is just not your jam anymore. But you might still be feeling wishy washy about it, I mean thats a lot of time, money and energy you put into that Ask yourself: Do you still love it? Do you want to put in the time and money to finish it? Will it bring joy to your day to work on it, gift it, or display it in your home? Do you have the space to store it? Or would you rather that space be used for a new project? Does the occasion still exist for this quilt? For example, if it is a baby quilt, but the baby is now in high school, is there still a need? So what can you do if you decide its just not love anymore?

Well I'm back! From (what I consider) a much deserved summer break. And boy, do I have a lot in store for y'all. This is an episode that you definitely don't want to miss. Be sure to listen in for all the cool new things coming up. But first a quick announcement: Enrollment for Learn to Quilt in 60 Days is Open NOW! And for a limited time only. Doors close 9/12 and the first day of class is the 13th. To learn all the details, head over to nicolegilbertquilts.com/enroll For those of you who are faithful listeners, you know that appliqué isn't my jam. I think I've said those exact words several times on the podcast. But recently, that has changed for me. If you listened to my New Years episode a few months back, I mentioned that this year I wanted to learn some new techniques and I truly have dived on in on this. I've become a prolific bag maker, an English paper piecing addict, and.... an appliqué artist. Yup. applique. I have to admit, whenever I used to think of appliqué, images of sunbonnet sue and little houses with chimneys always came to mind. For those of you familiar with my quilting aesthetic, you know that is for sure not up my alley. SO I started to explore. And I found a project I fell in love with. SO much so, that I've even started down the path of certification to teach this specific technique for a major national brand. More on that later this fall. But now that I'm in love with all (or at least most) things appliqué. I thought I'd go over the basics of appliqué and some the tools you may find helpful.

I get asked all the time where I find the patterns for the quilts that I make. And how do I so consistently find quilt patterns that fit my "theme" or aesthetic when they are from such different designers. And the answer is that I've done the self analysis. I know, I know. That sounds so extra. And no, it's not some deep version of guilty therapy. Instead, I suggest you start where all great art starts. Pinterest. Duh. Just start pinning. I suggest you start a board where you only pin quilt patterns that you like and would like to try one day. Then take a step back and really find the commonality in the patterns you chose. Do you prefer traditional blocks? What about color? Then I want you to find a fabric designer you love. And check out the quilt patterns that they've created to go with their fabric lines. Do you see where I'm going with this? It's all about exploration. But I love this exercise because not only will you figure out your favorite quilt pattern designers, but you'll find out your quilting aesthetic, your favorite fabric designers, and so much more. This a quilty education rabbit hole and I hope you explore it! You Can Find me on: Facebook Instagram YouTube…
Quilt labels are often the unsung heroes of the quilt world. They are a great way to leave your mark.

Hi There! I’m Nicole Gilbert and you’ve joined The Stop Scrolling and Start Sewing Podcast. Are you new to sewing and want to start quilting but have ne idea where to begin? Each Wednesday join me as I share the ins and outs of that quilt life. If you don’t have a sewing machine, have no idea how much fabric you need, or you’re just trying to figure out where the heck to stick that bobbin this is the podcast for you. Hey folks! Welcome to episode 17 of the Stop Scrolling, Start Sewing podcast. Today’s episode is all about quilting styles. Let’s get sewing. Ok so Quilting Techniques. Quilt as You Go, Stitch in the Ditch, Free Motion, and What I call Stitch by the Ditch. First lets break down exactly what each of these types of quilt methods are. Stitch in the Ditch. Your ditch is the seam created between your piecing. So you just sew right into the ditch. It accentuates your patchwork and it’s the easiest method of quilting. Stitch by the Ditch. Don’t even know if that’s what its really called. But it is very similar to stitch in the ditch except instead of placing your stitches directly in the seam you place it a measured amount (usually ¼” or 1/8”) on one or both sides of your seam. Free Motion Quilting. You know all that beautiful floral quiliting or meandering swirls? That is accomplished via free motion quilting. The Sky is the limit for what you can do with free motion. The term free motion comes from the fact that you drop the feed dogs, allowing your fabric to move freely beneath your presser foot. Quilt As You Go. This is an interesting method that is more about convenience. So with this method you quilt the individual blocks BEFORE you piece your quilt top together. Then it comes together using sashing. I’ve also seen it done without sashing, but it’s far more common to see it with sashing. Don’t worry I’ll have examples of each of these looks in the show notes at themodernquilterscircle.com/episode-17 Now you know what each of the major type of quilting methods actually is, let’s chat about why! Stitch in the Ditch and Stitch by the ditch have many of the same whys. Easy, accentuates your patchwork and or quilt pattern. It adds durability. Takes the guesswork out. Free Motion is all about highlighting your quilting techniques. If you are using a more simple patchwork pattern, free motion quilting can really jazz it up. Quilt as you go is all about making your life easier. You can quilt the individual blocks using any of the other methods and then connecting them together at the end. This is super appealing for quilting on a machine with a smaller throat space. So there you have it. If you’re interested in seeing how these quilt methods look, head over to the show notes. I’v also included some links to some great tutorials around the interwebs that you should check out. Head over to the modernquilterscircle.com/podcast for todays episode and all past episodes.

Hey Folks! In today's episode we're chatting about sewing machine tables. Oh my goodness, this is such a big topic and there are so many options and honestly, quilt room organization and sewing machine tables is a love affair topic for me. And I know that there are many of you that don't have a designated sewing room, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you guys either! I'm breaking down a list of the best options and brands for designated sewing tables, tables that do double duty, and how to store your machine if you need to pack it up at the end of each session. Designated Sewing Machine Tables If you have the room for a designated sewing machine table, I think they are the absolute best option for comfort and sewing ease. I've found that I'm 10x more likely to sit down at my machine if I don't have to set it up or move anything out of my way. Though this is an option that many don't have because of space. I get it. Check out these solutions to see if they might work for you! Craft Tables For many of you out there who are able to carve out some space to keep your machine set up but not able to claim a whole room, the craft table is an excellent option. With a craft table you can have your cutting mat out and just shift your sewing machine around to suit whatever task you're up to in the moment. You can purchase a special "craft" table but I don't suggest it. Instead I suggest getting an Ikea dining room table. The small ones that are 4 seaters but really ideal for apartment living. I used to use a Melltorp and it served me for 7+ years. It was the perfect size to fit a 24x36 cutting mat with room to spare while not taking up a ton of room in the craft room/ office. Sewing Machine Storage Before I was able to carve out a space that was all my own, I had to store my machine in a closet. I'm sure many of you can relate. If that is the case, I highly suggest getting a hard case for your machine. The last thing you want is a spool holder to snap or some other minor disaster to take your machine out of commission. For those of you who have a standard size machine and/ or a travel machine for classes, I suggest getting a rolling sewing machine case. It will protect your machine and make traveling (either to class or down the hall) a breeze. You Can Find me on: Facebook Instagram YouTube…
