Abigail creates quilts inspired by nature, science, and family to name a few—often combining contemporary fabrics with vintage and repurposed materials to add layers of meaning and texture to her work. Her quilts have been exhibited at shows like QuiltCon and Quilt National, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles as well as international exhibits in Taiwan. 

Abigail brings together so many influences—modern art, folk art, collaboration, even science—and turns them into quilts that feel emotional and alive. I first saw her work at QuiltCon when I interviewed her for Quilt National and I was instantly drawn into her quilt Bumblebee Jasper to look at every detail. She’s also the creator of the collaborative Exquisite Quilt Project, inspired by the Surrealist “Exquisite Corpse” game, where multiple artists contribute without seeing the full design ahead of time.

]]> My guest today is Valori Wells - From darkroom photography at age 13 to earning a BFA in fine art, her journey has always followed inspiration. For the past 27 years, she has designed commercial fabric collections, authored quilting books, and led artist retreats in Bali and Morocco, where she teaches photography, block printing, and textile arts. As the second-generation owner of The Stitchin’ Post in Sisters Oregon, she’s carried forward a 50-year legacy of art, education, and community. Her work—whether painted, printed, sewn, or taught—is rooted in storytelling, nature, and emotional expression.

Valori has 2 great websites to check out:

My guest today uses colour as a principal element in her work, applied in layers, and created with the intention to surprise, evoke calming emotions and a sense of joy. Today I’ll have a chat with professional artist and designer Estè MaCleod. She is a professional artist and designer with a background in textile and surface design. Her art has hung in galleries in the UK and internationally and she often turns her work into designs that are licensed for use on products like Free Spirit Fabric, wallpaper, ceramics and more. She also teaches a selection of online courses with a focus on creativity and combining techniques in acrylics and water based media and she’s well known for her Coloricombo weekly creative prompt of colour where she shares a palette chosen from colours that have caught her.

Thank you for listening to the Quilter on Fire Podcast. 

]]> Today is like the color confidential episode of the Quilter on Fire podcast except its not confidential – we are going to spill the beans on color. My guest today uses colour as a principal element in her work, applied in layers, and created with the intention to surprise, evoke calming emotions and a sense of joy. Today I’ll have a chat with professional artist and designer Estè MaCleod. She is a professional artist and designer with a background in textile and surface design. Her art has hung in galleries in the UK and internationally and she often turns her work into designs that are licensed for use on products like Free Spirit Fabric, wallpaper, ceramics and more. She also teaches a selection of online courses with a focus on creativity and combining techniques in acrylics and water based media and she’s well known for her Coloricombo weekly creative prompt of colour where she shares a palette chosen from colours that have caught her.

]]> My guest today is Kate Colleran. She is a quilt pattern designer with Kate Colleran Designs and a fabric designer with Island Batiks, and she’s written 2 books! She first started Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs with Elizabeth Balderrama where she was the designer and Elizabeth did the pattern testing, consultations and was the shipping maven! Together they wrote their first book Smash Your Precut Stash with C&T Publishing. Today we’ll talk about how the business changed when her partner retired, how Kate got into fabric design, and the latest development with C&T – her brand new book – called Patchwork Braids.

THE QUILTERS follows the daily lives of several men, spending most of its screen time inside the sewing room in a Level 5 maximum security prison in a small Missouri town. As we follow several quilts from design to completion, audiences will come to know these men, witnessing their struggles, triumphs, and sense of pride as they create something beautiful in this windowless, sacred space, deep within the prison walls. Through this process and the relationships forged we witness the power of art to restore an individual's view of themselves and others. Today, I’ll have a chat with award-winning filmmaker Jenifer McShane!

THE QUILTERS is in consideration for an OSCAR nomination! 

The film window is now closed to view it for the DOCNYC event as mentioned in the podcast but if you are going to H&H Americas in May it will be featured there.

IF you are thinking - "What!? but I want to watch this film!" go to @thequiltersdoc on Instagram or follow QuilteronFire on the socials so you'll see the announcement as to when it is available for you to watch.

She is a multiple award-winning quilter whose work is instantly recognizable. And part of the reason for that is that she’s been featured on the covers of 18 magazines! And when I say multiple award-winning we are talking about a dozen Best of Show Awards! She is known for the strong visual impact of her medallion quilts and her brilliant use of colour. She’s had prestigious acquisitions of her quilts by the National Quilt Museum in Paducah and even by a Senator’s wife in the US Capitol!

I was so thrilled to land an interview with this icon in the quilting industry that we chatted for over 3 hours. You are going to love her candid talk about standing up for yourself and valuing your work! Karen was voted Teacher of the Year in 1997 by Professional Quilter Magazine and I'm delighted to share her story with you.

Thank you for listening to the Quilter on Fire Podcast. 

]]> My guest today is Karen Kay Buckley! She is a multiple award-winning quilter whose work is instantly recognizable. And part of the reason for that is that she’s been featured on the covers of 18 magazines! And when I say multiple award-winning we are talking about a dozen Best of Show Awards! She is known for the strong visual impact of her medallion quilts and her brilliant use of colour. She’s had prestigious acquisitions of her quilts by the National Quilt Museum in Paducah and even by a Senator’s wife in the US Capitol!

I was so thrilled to land an interview with this icon in the quilting industry that we chatted for over 3 hours. You are going to love her candid talk about standing up for yourself and valuing your work! Karen was voted Teacher of the Year in 1997 by Professional Quilter Magazine and I'm delighted to share her story with you.

She has a popular blog and social media presence that hits the important topics like cost effective sewing, custom made clothing to fit you, and using technology to your advantage. It's not so scary. So let's explore the story of Tiffany Turner.

She is a mixed media textile artist and online educator. I have been her friend for years online and had the chance to meet her in person finally at QuiltCon 2022. She is really into experimentation and pushing the boundaries of a process or technique.

She takes it further than she thinks she can and then turns around and shares it with her audience. Her first online course is a series of classes on learning to design for your cutting machine. And her latest course is a wonderful exploration of rust dyeing fabric, which I absolutely love doing myself and I'm excited to explore the technique on the podcast.

She has had quilts juried into Quilt Con 2022 and 2023, the largest annual show of modern quilts in the world.

Her studio has grown to include a long arm machine and two resident feline supervisors, plus occasional foster kittens. Just for fun, Karen's favorite color is all of them, but she admits to a smaller stash of yellow, which I couldn't believe when I read that because my favorite colour is yellow. But cooking and music, especially from the band U2, and travel everywhere, especially if U2 is playing there, are also a big part of her life. Beyond quilting, Karen enjoys sharing her knowledge and expertise with a number of different organizations on a volunteer basis. Currently she serves on the board of the Modern Quilt Guild, the Calgary Folk Festival, and the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew.

So she doesn't do many interviews, so I was excited.

This mother and daughter team (Linda & Laura) has literally pioneered the online learning space in creative arts, and they've brought it to the world in a way that sings to the student and lifts them up, and it's perfectly affordable. It was so incredible just standing in front of Laura's work at the show, at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham.

I'd seen it for years in magazines online, in her courses on the computer screen, but it just, when you see it in person, in front of your face, it just takes you in, tells you a story, and spits you out, inspired to make art. So I loved sharing Laura's story with you.

One thing I loved hearing from her on the podcast is that no one is really a social media guru or maven because it changes every single day. We get massive doses of the unknown from social media and there is so much pressure to go viral. It is intimidating. You finally figure out how to make a reel on Instagram and then TikTok comes along and steals the show. The hardest part of it all is just going gloves off and diving into the ring to try everything. It’s new to everyone. We are not alone. And Kim is out there spreading the word about how people can grow.

Their latest exhibit called Fabric of a Nation - American Quilt Stories is a rich historical presentation that spans 300 years of American Quilts. And I’ll quote the website directly to share that “the remarkable examples on view are by an under recognized diversity of artistic hands and minds from the 17th century to today, including female and male, known and unidentified, urban and rural makers; immigrants; and Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, and LGBTQIA+ Americans."

The exhibition invites visitors to celebrate the artistry and intricacy of quilts and coverlets and the lives they document, while also considering the complicated legacies ingrained in the fabric of American life. I cannot even imagine the research and work involved in pulling together a project like this.

I had the joy of working with Val on a Fibre Art Network challenge several years ago. We had to partner up and one quilter (Val) was to make a fabric portrait and her challenge partner (me) was to make an abstract version of that art piece. I was so impressed with the vibrant colour palette, intricate detail of the cut appliqué and the incredible stitching on her 1950s car portrait that it was easy to be inspired to create a partner piece. Working with her was a breeze and it was one of my favourite challenges to this day. So on this episode of the podcast we’ll be talking about photo to fibre art portraits and Val’s new book.

She is working, going to school and juggling it all while still finding a little bit of time for her love of quilting. Her heartwarming story caught my eye on social media when I saw a picture of her adorable daughter Calyla on Christmas morning wearing a gift that her mom had made for her. The joy on Calyla’s face had me scrambling to reach out to Wendy to get her on the show. This child is a huge Dolly Parton fan and in this episode we’ll be talking about Wendy’s quilting story and Calyla’s Coat of Many Colours.
