A Quilter's Life - Paula Weir

During the interview with Paula Weir we realized that we not only share our first name, but we also share another very special name. Paula has had some wonderful angels in her life to help her on her quilting journey which also shows how wonderful our quilting community is. I love how she explains that these were extremely gracious ladies, and also that she herself had to be open to receive the information they shared.

Here is a picture of Paula's favorite quilt from many years ago (these are Paula's Whippets Danny 12 and Cooper 7) that reminds her to be proud of not being a perfectionist.

This is the first quilt Paula made for herself. It was a non traditional fabric choice.

And here's a couple of pictures of Paula's sewing area.

Well known for her Celtic knotwork designs for applique, sashiko, embroidery and quilting, Scarlett Rose also enjoys designing delightful scrap quilts based on traditional patterns. She brings a unique perspective to these redesigned classic patchwork patterns, keeping the vintage look but using easier techniques for the construction.

Here's a couple photos of Scarlett's quilts, which were made into digital patterns that she sells through her website and in her Etsy shop.

Jennifer Davis is the owner of The Little Shop of Stitches in Miamisburg, Ohio. One of her customers, Lyndsay Donaldson, contacted me and wanted to hear Jenn’s story. I’m so thankful to Lyndsay for her suggestion! Jenn has kept her quilting community going even through this time of COVID with her kind, caring, demeanor. I had the pleasure of watching one of her Tuesday live sales on Facebook where she made you feel so at home. You could just tell by the comments flowing that her customers love her.

When a nurse at my doctor appointment asked what I did for fun, of course, I told her I had a quilting podcast. Then I asked if she knew any quilters and she did! So she was able to get me in contact with Kealy Parrish. Wow, what a great connection! I’m so proud of Kealy. She was able to make the changes necessary to get out of debt and she was able to use her quilting skills in the process. Here’s the (finished) quilt that almost fell off the ship in Spain! The background is still Spain and holds lots of memories! Don't forget to check out Kealy's blog!

There are wonderful quilters all around the world and I had the privilege of visiting with Joy Sims while she is in France. I want to thank my sister, Lois Gillette, for connecting me with her friend Joy. Joy has been able to use quilting to connect with people in France and I love how she was able to share with me, “The fact that sitting across the table from someone with a needle in your hand and working with a piece of fabric somehow opens up a door for a conversation that goes deeper than just what you’re doing.”

Here's a sample of Joy's beautiful quilts!

I love how Karen Dawson explained that sometimes out of our greatest struggles comes one of our biggest gifts or blessings. She has such a positive outlook and we had a wonderful time visiting. Although she grew up in England, she now lives in a neighboring town from where I grew up. Remember to also take a look at her Etsy shop, FabricSpeaks.

Hawaiian quilt. Karen's first quilt.

Rag quilt was a gift for her grandmother.

This very random scrap quilt is a king size made ENTIRELY of leftover fabric. Both top and bottom! Karen cut out all the squares while recovering from major surgery.

T-shirt quilt made for her daughter.

And here's the quilt she made for her niece.
