Hopefully will have video podcasts up by July. Only Audio until then. Thanks for your support!

[@jenniferbonynge5899]

I have found your podcast to be such a warm/fuzzy experience. To have mother & daughter exchanges of inspiration and creativity with an open and accepting feeling is quite hopeful at this time. Loved your conversation! XO

[@margm4]

Will really enjoy the next one, with video. 😁

[@kathyvan9112]

You two are such good company while I am in my studio. Thank you!

[@sharonhadaway1160]

Really enjoyed your first podcast. Looking forward to the next one 😀❤️

[@serendipatty]

Thanks so much Sherri and Chelsi! Listening in Google Podcasts.

[@starbrown1219]

I love that you Sherri, as a mother, have your daughter quilting too. I have tried to get my daughter to sew, but no. She actually designs jewelry, as she is very creative.

[@PattiMac00]

So funny that I am binding my #heartsathome quilt as I listen to this. My granddaughter will get it tomorrow!

[@colleenyork8588]

Loved your podcast

[@zblgran944]

I read your blog, watch your videos, and I will love listening to the podcast! I cross-stitched while listening, and I felt like I wasn’t wasting my time on either. Listening while stitching keeps me in a rhythm. Great job!

[@ginettevallieres604]

Great podcast! But as the others said, it would be fun to be able to see your finished projects. It would be great to see the interaction between the two of you as well. I sew and quilt with my mom as well so it’s fun to listen to another mom and daughter duo.

[@franparent8520]

Have you finished, Where the Crawdads sing? One of my favorites. You should read, One Good Mama Bone. Excellent book. Love you quilting. Just found your podcast and I started at episode 4 and worked my way back. Love that you now have the video.

[@bridgetwhite1511]

I’m looking forward to hearing more of your podcast.

[@deidrapowell8762]

Interesting you said making small projects. I have been doing the same thing. Thanks for making me feel normal lol. Love y’all are mom/daughter team. I lost my mom and inherited her machine and fabric and fell in love with it and wish I could have sewn with her. Weird not watching y’all but just listening but I like it. Looking forward to more

[@FredaM]

I’ve been working on small projects recently too. For quite a while I’ve been wanting to make some miniature quilts to put on my walls in the sewing room. So much fun.

[@StephaniesStitches]

Chelsi...my daughter and I love Heartland...great show! I love that it is family friendly...don't have to worry about bad words and my girl (she's 11) loves horse, so it's a win for both of us! She sits next to me while I sew and we listen together. And Sherri...thank you for the BOM on your blog. It's nice to have something to look forward to right now. Love your fabrics and patterns...can't wait to see the new collection. Take care.

[@natalee1036]

This is soooo awesome!

[@beverlyjames2850]

The audio was good, but I missed seeing the pictures of what you were discussing. It was like radio.

[@theacademicstitcher]

Really enjoyed your podcast!

[@gailstaehle4809]

Nice pod cast and also missed not seeing you two during it.

[@larriclairequilty8840]

Thank you for the closed captioning. Without it I'd not been able to enjoy your conversation.

[@rachelburgener819]

Hi ladies, as a new subscriber I just listed to this your first podcast! I really enjoyed it Thank you❤️😀

[@lyndellstone2738]

I'd love to hear about what your other interests are besides quilting. What else do you do at the weekend?

[@jazdramafree]

Hi great podcast...you mentioned going from graph paper to the computer... what software do you recommend?

[@ShirleyDeeDesigns]

Maybe I missed it but how did you two hook up/ start collaborating together? How do you start designing fabric? Do you design a quilt first and then think...this kind of fabric would go good with this pattern...or do you design a fabric first or does it matter? I just think it would be a fun career. I always wanted to quilt but the binding scared me and didn't have anyone to show me how until I learned on KZbin. After my first binding I was like..that was it? I could have been quilting for decades! I started teaching myself about 8 years ago. Sorry, I'm rambling!

[@nbc911]

I loved that it was like radio. I put my headphones on and continued sewing. It was lovely not to have to keep looking up at the phone screen to see what was happening. How old is Chelsi's daughter that is learning to sew?

[@starbrown1219]

Love your Hearts at home pattern. Have made 4 so far. Thanks Chelsi.

[@wendyhansen3223]

Well done ladies. Have a question for next episode...Chelsie when did you start sewing and how influential was Sherri in helping you begin?

[@cindymarie45]

What is the pattern/name of the quilt hanging behind you in the stationary photo? What fabric line was used?

[@jankitchen8985]

Since I don’t usually listen to video and read the subtitles, I guess I’d rather read an article. I’ll try to catch up in July when there is video.

[@donnaduguay7532]

Do you every do a scrappy backing on your quilts

[@lyndellstone2738]

Loved listening to youboth. Funny that the auto translation says 'Welcome to an occulting life' 😂.

[@jojorey6886]

Your daughter has your voice. Never noticed this before but now that all I can hear are your voices they’re identical.

[@tammimoffett5378]

I would prefer to see you as you talk. I probably won’t listen as often to just talk. It was interesting but want to see what your talking about. For example quilt projects

[@josephinemalcolm2410]

It wasn't as interesting because I was focused on your stationary picture. Would rather see you actually demonstrating something.

[@jaynebromley]

Would have preferred video along with the audio.

[@elainemoulson2578]

It was like listening to the radio,it would be better with you live.

[@fayeriggsbee8499]

Where are you??

[@donnaduguay7532]

Hi

[@suestutzle2779]

Sorry girls but I didn't watch it all the way through. Just a few minutes because all I saw was a photo all the time.

[@AshleyR882]

I’m experiencing FOMO listening to y’all

[@mrsworms]

Not a real fan of podcasts. Need a visual to go with it. Love your other videos.
