My guest today is Carson Converse, an artist and designer whose work lives right at the intersection of dynamic modern sensibility and grounded in tradition. Carson originally studied sculpture at Boston University before going on to earn a master’s degree in interior design from the New England School of Art and Design. That mix of artistic training and design thinking shows up beautifully in everything she creates—from hotel interiors to award-winning modern art quilts her work is thoughtful and bold, with a strong sense of form, beautiful materials, and a real attention to detail. And if that does't get you to listen in, she has won more ribbons at QuiltCon than any other quilter.

Jenni and Kay are the hosts for Quiltfolk Magazine’s "Adventure Workshops," delivering virtual quilting experiences that combine travel, storytelling, and in-depth sewing techniques. Based in Yorkshire, England, these two are experienced quilting teachers known for their work with Liberty of London and for creating projects that promote creativity and wellness.

My guest today is Tania Tanti, a Melbourne-based art quilter who loves screen printed fabric paint and embroidery thread! She uses painting and stitch to create bold, expressive art pieces. Her work often lands somewhere between abstract landscapes and portraiture, usually with strong colour, lots of contrast, compelling messaging that opens up the conversation and more than a hint of humour.

My guest today is Lorena Uriarte.
