First Stitch Story: Meet Mary
In this episode, we meet Mary, a fellow Kansas City–area quilter whose creative path included early sewing lessons, a break for life, and then rediscovering sewing and quilting years later, Mary’s story touches on creativity, learning curves, and the joy of saying yes to something new.

WIP-Finishing Tip: Prioritize What Matters
Today’s WIP-finishing tip is all about prioritizing your projects. When everything feels important, it’s easy to feel stuck. I walk through three-step process to narrow your focus so you can decide what to work on next…and then actually make progress!

I also mention a couple of free tools that support this process, including one especially helpful for quilts that are headed out the door as gifts.
