About this episode
Get ready to dive into the creative heart of the quilting community, kicking off with Hawaiian quilt projects and the exciting world of needle felting. Rochelle shared some fantastic tips, including using dollar store dog brushes to blend wool roving and noting that higher-numbered needles achieve a finer felt. They both highlighted a great mix of detailed crafting techniques, personal project updates, and shout-outs to local shops and fellow quilters. It wasn't all just thread and wool—we also got some wonderful personal updates, from hemming pants for grandchildren to Leslie and Rochelle's hair updates. The team celebrated new projects, like a 3D gift bow pillow kit from Foxy's Kits and Quilts and shared a funny story about a 2:30 AM credit card crisis while registering for a ShipShawana event. The discussion wrapped up with a focus on community, covering everything from the benefits of Fix It Adhesive for wool appliqué to heartfelt reflections on gratitude, mentorship, and the importance of sisterhood. It was a beautiful reminder of the passion and support that makes the Tulsa-area quilting world so special. Send us a text Follow Leslie on Instagram at @leslie_quilts and Rochelle at @doughnutwarrior
