It’s a guest episode!

Sherri McConnell shares her patterns, techniques, and so much more at A Quilting Life — and one of her passions is to help those who love quilting to find time to truly enjoy their hobby and craft! In this episode, we talk all about her journey in crafting, the quilting planner she designed herself (!!), and her suggestions for those looking to find more time to enjoy the things they love.

    Ah! My worlds are colliding. I love Sherri’s podcast with her daughter Chelsi Stratton. I’m always hoping I will run into them at the local quilt shops!

    Sarah and Sherri – Thank you so much for the shout out for the ProAction Planner and your kind words 🙂 I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying it, Sherri. Quick tip – for your “3 Things Done” each day method, you can use the top three, darker lines in the bottom section of the weekly pages for this. The lighter lines are then the “nice to do if time”. Thanks again to you both – I enjoyed your talk!
