Episode 52: Quilting with Corey Pearson

What happens when a love of quilting turns into a career that takes you across the country, introduces you to incredible people, and makes you one of the familiar faces in the quilting community? In Episode 52 of The Sewcial Hour, I’m joined by Corey Pearson, Chief Quilter at Linda’s, for a conversation about quilting, creativity, travel, community, and the journey that brought him to where he is today. Corey and I talk about how he discovered quilting, his path to becoming Chief Quilter at Linda’s, and what that role really looks like behind the scenes. We dive into his passion for longarm quilting, the artistry behind the process, and why he continues to be excited about quilting after turning his passion into a career. We also talk about life on the road, quilt shows and industry events, building relationships within the quilting community, and the partnerships that help move the industry forward. And, of course, we get a little personal with some fun quick-fire questions along the way! Whether you're a longtime quilter, a longarm enthusiast, or simply someone who loves hearing the stories behind the people who make up our creative community, this conversation with Corey is full of insight, laughs, and plenty of quilting inspiration. Because quilting is about so much more than fabric and thread. It's about creativity, connection, lifelong learning, and the people who make this community so special. 🧵 Sew With Me Retreat — October I also take a quick break in the middle of this episode to tell you about my upcoming Sew With Me Retreat this October!
