This week, the girls have a whirlwind of creative chaos and awesome plans to share! We've been dreaming up a brand new way to stay safe while we get crafty, with Rochelle's cool new climbing helmet that's getting double duty for both climbing and quilting. We've also been getting a little wild and outdoorsy, with plans for a super fun floating trip down Flint Creek, complete with some tasty snacks. It's not all adventure, though—we've been busy baking up a storm with homemade sourdough and other treats, all while celebrating birthdays and admiring the incredible talent of a young fashion designer named Max Alexander. It just goes to show, there’s no limit to where your creativity can take you!

And speaking of creativity, we’ve got a whole new world of projects to dive into. We’re super excited about the revival of the arts and have been planning some major projects, from creating woolly mammoth-themed crafts and teaching classes on quilted tennis shoes, to tackling new barn quilts and tackling an upcoming quilt show in Shell Knob, Missouri! We’ve even been working on a home renovation project that has us all buzzing with excitement and new design ideas. Plus, we've got some great tips for staying safe on the go, with a reminder about moving around during long trips and retreats. It's a busy, beautiful world of quilting, crafting, and fun, and we're so happy to share it all with you!

Rochelle's been on quite the adventure, trying on 1940s wigs at Quilt Nebraska and deciding they're her new go-to! She's also become a fabric organizing whiz, making sure every zipper and notion has its perfect spot, even rethinking those sky-high cupboards. Plus, she spilled all the tea on her wool crafting obsession, showcasing adorable ornaments and sharing her excitement about teaching these fuzzy creations at upcoming events like Winter Wonderland and Camp Wanna Sew. It sounds like Rochelle is having a blast with her new look and her super organized craft space, all while inspiring others with her amazing wool projects!

The chat also covered everything from juicy travel plans to a hilarious docking station drama, with Rochelle sharing her Scotland and Iceland trip details and a funny story about embarrassing Scott during a live recording. Leslie jumped in with updates on her home reno, from painting and flooring to planning a magnetic screen door for her new craft room, aiming for a big move-in this Sunday! There was even a quick peek into fabric design trends and the joys of renewing a driver's license online. It's a lively mix of personal updates, creative endeavors, and a sprinkle of everyday adventures, all wrapped up in one fun conversation!

Enjoy!
