Thanks for the list. I also listen to PRI’s The World in Words (http://www.theworld.org/category/podcasts/the-world-in-words-podcast/) and Vinyl Cafe (http://www.cbc.ca/vinylcafe/). The first one discusses all sorts on interesting tidbits about languages. The second is a Canadian one, and the host tells very funny and sometimes poignant stories.
Hi Darla, we listen to many of the same podcasts. Besides the quilty ones, I listen to Grandma’s Sewing Cabinet, Grits to Glitz (occasionally), HappyCrafter 207, How Much Do We Love, iMake, , Joyce Meyer (love her), Manic Mommies, Sew Forth Now, Spilled Milk, Sporkful. Thanks for posting yours!~I’ll check them out! Always looking for new good ones!
Thanks for the Xmas gift of podcasts.
Have you listened to The Science Show? It comes from ABC, the Australian one. The show has been going for decades and is really good. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/
How did I forget Sew Forth Now. I listen to her, but did not post. Ugg. I haven’t gotten to your podcasts you listed Robyn, but I’ve signed up for them in iTunes.
Listened to a few of the language ones Colleen, but LOVING ABSOLUTELY the Vinyl Cafe so far. Listened to a christmas turkey story, and one about a library, and one about the bloopers. The host sounds amazing & funny, and I just get pulled into his stories.
I also have downloaded the science show & have listened to one episode, lovely. I’ve got more warm & fuzzy podcasts to become acquainted with.
Hi Darla, About the fiskars tool. I have one too and some stencils for simple shapes to cut with it. I have had very little luck with it. It works on fabric only if you’ve backed it with paper; either freezer paper or fusible web. Even then it doesn’t work great. Hope that helps. Tami In Denver
