The Secret Quilters

The Secret Quilters

The Secret Quilters is a podcast for the new generation of quilters—those who love the craft but aren’t afraid to question it.

We created this podcast because we kept asking the same question: Why isn’t anyone talking about this?

Quilting is creative, inspiring, and deeply rooted in tradition—but it can also be overwhelming, expensive, and, at times, a little stuck in the past. We believe there’s room for a more honest conversation.

Each week, we explore quilt shops, shop hops, fabrics, and tools—sharing real experiences, thoughtful critiques, and the kind of insights you usually only hear behind closed doors.

    Cutting Remarks | Episode 5

    Every quilter needs tools—but which ones do you really need? In this episode, Brennen and Mindy take a look at the essential quilting tools, starter kits, and the gadgets that promise to make quilting easier. From rotary cutters and rulers to irons, seam rippers, and those mysterious tools we never actually use, we're sharing what’s worth the money—and what might belong in the junk drawer.

    Quilting as a Second Language | Episode 4

    Apparently, quilters are fluent in a second language—and no one gave us a dictionary! In this episode, Brennen and Mindy decode quilting jargon, from WOF and HST to UFOs, fat quarters, and more. If you've ever walked into a quilt shop and wondered, “What did they just say?” this episode is for you.
