Meet Janice Reimer of Prairie & Ocean! - Ep. 99
Explicit content warning
03/11/24 • 50 min
Janice Reimer is a Structural Biologist by day and a Quilter by night...and weekends. After resisting becoming a quilter for much of her life, Janice was introduced to EPP and whole-cloth hand quilting. The rest, as they say, is history. Janice was born and raised in the Canadian prairies, and after working in San Diego for three years, she returned to Canada. Janice's analytical mind helps her create modern-traditionalist quilt patterns that have eye-catching design and flow.
Janice's most recent pattern, "Saros", plays with the asymmetry of the cycle of eclipses. Its modern design is a visual delight, and appeals to the precision-focused quilter.
Since recording this episode, Janice became a QuiltCon ribbon winner with her quilt titled "Anechoic". She received the MQG Excellence Award. Go check it out!

Meet Karlee Porter! - Ep. 100
Welcome to the 100th Episode of Not Your Granny's Quilt Show!
Karlee Porter is a professional quilter who came to the industry in a non-traditional way. Karlee has always been artistic and loved sharing her art with her friends and classmates all through school. To earn extra money, Karlee would sell her designs and homemade caramels. When she was out of high school, newly married, and needing a job, she worked for HandiQuilter as a builder of subcomponents for the longarm machines. This is how Karlee was introduced to quilting. When she realized she could translate her drawings and art style onto fabric, she practiced for hours at work and at home to hone her skills.
In 2014, Karlee wrote and self-published her book "Graffiti Quilting: A Simple Guide to Complex Designs". This year is the 10th anniversary of the first edition of her book. However, Karlee has tripled the size of the first book and the next Graffiti Quilting Class participants will receive the new version of the book in their Welcome Kit!
Sign up for the class on her website and use code NYGQS25 to get a $25 discount on your tuition! Amanda is taking the class, so join her!
