Introducing Quilt Buzz
the podcast for, by, and about the everyday quilter
Mission
Giving the “everyday” quilter a modern platform to shine, one interview at a time.
Our Story
The Quilt Buzz Podcast was dreamed up one day by three millennial quilters, Amanda Carye, Anna Brown, and Wendy Chow, who had connected over their love of quilting on Instagram (a surprisingly popular hangout spot for quilters of all ages!). After learning each other’s stories of how they came to quilting from various backgrounds (Anna has a fine arts background in printmaking, Wendy comes from the world of marketing research and consulting, and Amanda is a serial entrepreneur with an MBA), they realized each quilter has a story to tell.
From modern quilt pattern designs to web-based design software, from creating an exchange for unwanted fabric to “local” online fabric shops, the quilting community is a vibrant place of ingenuity, entrepreneurship, and incredible creativity. Quilt Buzz aims to create a platform to learn more about the “every” quilters’ stories from across the global quilting community, focusing on up-and-coming projects and people that are pushing the boundaries.
The Facts
Quilt Buzz is a bi-weekly interview-style podcast that highlights the stories, projects, and creativity of people from across the global quilting community. Hosted by three millennial quilters, each episode deep dives into why the guest of the week started quilting, what drives their creativity and inspires them, and how they are implementing their vision within the quilting industry.
