Ep. 1: Our Quilting Heritage | Podcast

Our best-selling online course is back and better than ever! APQS Longarm Certification Sponsored by Quilting Daily has been revised and updated. Not only will you learn how to make beautiful quilts, you’ll also gain skills to turn your passion into a paycheck with tips on how to run your own quilting business.

We’re getting down to the nitty-gritty as we discuss our quilting heritage and our journeys to our current quilting lifestyles. We explore how we got into quilting and where this incredible journey has taken us, then we discuss and learn more about the Quilts of Valor® program, which awards quilts to any warrior who has been touched by war.
