Taiga Bentley is the curator behind the whimsical color-gradient quilts and quilted jackets at House of Taiga. Since she was a young girl, Taiga has always felt drawn to rainbows, color gradients and art. As the owner of Olga Korper Gallery (started by her grandmother), she always has her eye on art. During the lockdown of 2020, Taiga was enamored by the quilt her friend was making, and a whole new world of craft was opened to her. As she browsed the internet for gorgeous fabrics, she knew there was no going back. She immediately purchased herself a sewing machine and began to learn to sew. Her rainbow gradient puff quilt was her first project, and is still a staple in the entertainment of her daughters as an "I Spy" game. Several quilts later, Taiga added quilted color-gradient jackets to her repertoire. Wearable quilts?! Why not! The same fabrics that are fun and eye-catching for children also make beautiful jackets for children and adults alike. Each one unique and tailored to the life of the client. Taiga lives for color and loves to share her passion with the masses. Not only can her quilts and jackets be purchased, but she also curates color-gradient bundles you can buy so you can make your own gorgeous color-gradient quilt! So jump on the Rainbow Connection, have a listen and go check out Taiga's world of color!

After training at the prestigious, Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, Rachel acted for a while but then through a mutual friend found out about a TV presenting gig, and that was that! Off she went in search of a new career. After a successful run of broadcast television jobs and hosting live events, her last TV presenting gig was for a craft channel working with lots of different artists selling their products. When this came to an end, it was a natural transition for media and the world of craft to combine when Rachel started CraftyMonkies, a place where people can go and learn a variety of art and sewing, mostly quilting based skills with incredible artists from all around the world via live interactive Zoom classes, or via their monthly member VIP club, and at in-person retreats in both the USA AND UK. After hearing amazing stories from classmates and teachers about how they had overcome blocks in their life using creativity, it was only a matter of time before Rachel started the podcast ‘Breaking the Blocks. The first episode was launched in February 2024 and it continues to grow at a fast pace! Rachel is successfully building a fantastic community of like-minded creative souls who regularly come together to share their passion with each other, and as she says, ‘the door is always open’ so go check out CraftyMonkies and the podcast if you feel so inclined!

Todd Leavitt, a Vermont transplant to North Carolina, has been on the quilt scene for quite some time now. But it hasn't always been his obvious passion. Todd and his brothers were all taught to sew at young ages by their mother. There was also some sewing during school for a home sciences class. Todd enjoyed sewing, but felt societal pressure to leave it behind and focus on his career. There weren't a lot of openly gay men in the sewing scene. All that changed when Todd experienced a heart-attack at 40. That was the wakeup call he needed to find more balance and start doing more of what he loved. That's where quilting entered his life. Now, he's a pattern designer, Craft-Thirster, Textile Daddy and content creator. The Bear Quilter has a new pattern to be released in October, and fabric kits and notions will be available on his website! Please enjoy this episode and go find Todd if you haven't already!

Meagan Guité is a Project Coordinator for Ruby Star Society who loves color, anything vintage and pets. Meagan's mom, Sarah, taught her how to quilt over 15 years ago when she opened a quilt shop. Meagan worked for her mom, and learned to quilt so she could answer questions for customers. Meagan's joy of making things with fabric comes from Sarah, and is something Meagan cherishes even more now. After Sarah passed away in 2021, Meagan found a new energy to create and sew. She quilted through the pain of losing her mother as a way to keep her close. Since then, Meagan quit her corporate job, and in a leap-of-faith moment, she applied for the job posted by Ruby Star Society looking for a project coordinator/social media/marketing expert. She got the job (that she splits with Audrey Savage) and now gets to live in the creative space of quilting and sewing. As the Project Coordinator, Meagan organizes the projects that will be mocked up in new fabric lines being released. She also helps write and create project plans and patterns. The new 10 Years of Magic pattern is one of Meagan's designs. Meagan is clearly an asset to Ruby Star Society and the world of quilting. Her ideas and excitement for design are so inspiring! Go check out her work while you listen. Please enjoy!

This episode is all about organizing your space. Amanda got some information from some of you from Instagram about the items you use to organize your fabric. In this episode, Amanda also interviews the CEO of Smart Labels, David Hewlett. Amanda was able to try the Smart Labels before the interview. The hope is to help add to the awesome collection of ways we organize our spaces, and inspire you if you need it. A quilter's space is a sacred space. Organization - whatever that looks like - helps the flow of creativity. Hopefully this is helpful for any of you who want ideas for how to store your supplies in a way that keeps you creating!

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!

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!
