Casey Cline: Quilts, Courage, and Writing Love Stories That Matter

🎙️ Casey Cline: Creating with Courage, Quilts, and Clean Historical RomanceHosted by Cassidy Beck | Verses & Visions: Creative ConversationsIn this heartfelt and refreshingly honest conversation, Cassidy sits down with historical romance author Casey Cline — a woman who seems to do everything: quilting, baking pies, riding horses, practicing jiu-jitsu, working in housing advocacy, raising two daughters… and writing sweeping love stories inspired by real history.But beneath all those hobbies is something deeper: a creator who feels called to bring beauty, faith, and hope into the world — one story at a time.Casey shares how her love of history led her to the fearless traveler Isabella Bird, how motherhood shapes the way she writes about love, and what it really looks like to pursue creativity while juggling family, work, church service, and life’s everyday demands.This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to fit into one box. You can follow every spark of curiosity God plants in you.Because sometimes creativity looks like quilts, sometimes like novels… and sometimes like simply showing up.✨ In this episode, we talk about:Collecting hobbies (and why that’s actually a strength, not a distraction)Teaching herself quilting during COVID and donating quilts to veteransWriting historically accurate romance — down to word choices and idiomsResearch rabbit holes and the realities of editingBalancing writing with motherhood and a part-time legal careerNavigating vulnerability as an author (reviews, events, showing up publicly)Feeling called by God to finally pursue writingWhy clean, wholesome love stories matterLetting go of labels and embracing a multi-passionate lifeHow love — romantic, familial, and divine — shapes every story she tells💛 A personal takeawayCasey’s life is such a beautiful picture of “create with what you have.”She doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. She quilts when she can. Writes when she can. Serves where she can.It’s not polished or perfectly scheduled — it’s faithful.And honestly? That feels a lot like real discipleship and real creativity.📚 Resources & LinksCasey’s website: caseycline.comMonthly newsletter + free historical romance novellaFollow Casey on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Goodreads, and BookBubLearn more about LDSPM(A) and creative community events🌟 Sponsor ShoutoutsSodaBeers Crafted by Cassidy’s family, SodaBeers offers premium, small-batch sodas that bring people together — from crisp Ginger Beer to classic Root Beer and Apple Beer favorites.
