Another wonderful podcast! Gillian kindly sent out a post this morning reminding everyone she would be on the podcast this week with a link to it. It was every bit as joyful as I was anticipating. Another great giggle when Helen pointed out that Gillian is a “wham bam thank you ma’am sewist”. Hilarious. I’ve been a huge fan of hers since discovering sewing online. Thank you to both of you again for another delicious hour well spent!
Thank you, Kathleen! We agree that Gillian is the bees knees! So glad you enjoyed the episode!
Oh my goodness, I am only half way through this episode and I LOVE GILLIAN, what a kind and inclusive approach to creating sewing community. Thank you for featuring her and thank you Gillian for your contributions to creating a much needed kind and inclusive corner of the sewing internets!
Oh, one note, I meant to say “kind, inclusive, and accessible”!
