Stitching Beginnings with Alicia

In this episode of the Sew Off Kilter Podcast, Becca’s youngest sister, Alicia, joins Ian and Becca to share what it’s like stepping into the quilting world as a beginner. Together, we talk about the joys and frustrations of starting out, from navigating sewing patterns to choosing the right tools, and even when it’s okay to let go of projects (hello, “quilt bankruptcy”).Alicia draws fun parallels between quilting and cooking, reminding us that creativity often thrives in a clean space and with a supportive community. Along the way, we share personal stories, laugh at our own stumbles, and celebrate the growth that comes with stitching by hand or machine.Whether you’re brand new to quilting or a seasoned maker, this conversation is a reminder to find joy in the process, embrace mistakes, and lean on your quilting community for encouragement.
