Podcasting with Modern Sewciety’s Stephanie Kendron

Hello My Quilting Friends! Today I have a terrific interview with Stephanie Kendron, the host of the Modern Sewciety podcast. Click Here to check out her website and podcast right now.

Stephanie began her podcast while remodeling her dream house after listening to lots of podcasts. Katie from Katie’s Quilting Corner was super helpful and supportive to Stephanie as she was getting started.

Hosting a podcast is a lot more complicated than it looks. Stephanie learned how to do this from the Smart Passive Income podcast and Pat’s steps to creating a podcast.

Stephanie set up an RSS feed and records using Skype on her computer. She used to edit each episode herself, but has recently changed to sending her audio to an editor who cleans it up and sends it back to her. Then Stephanie uploads it to itunes, then Libsyn, then WordPress.

The hardest part of a podcast is knowing where someone is listening and how they found your podcast. It’s almost impossible to track exactly where people are listening and how many people.

Stephanie’s favorite conversations are when quilters open up and share their lives and personal journey. For her, the story is the key and that’s why she created her podcast and continues to ask questions.

Podcast Sponsor

This podcast is sponsored by the Machine Quilting Block Party, a quilt along designed for beginning quilters! Each month you’ll learn how to piece or applique a new quilt block, then how to machine quilt it with a combination of walking foot quilting, free motion quilting, and ruler foot quilting.

Now for a few updates I shared before the podcast:

I’m really excited about a new quilting workshop I started filming last week. I’m quilting the Mega Pinwheel Star quilt with three simple designs using my walking foot.

Lately I’ve been tapping into what makes me feel great and the word effective keeps coming up. Working on this workshop closely with my husband Josh , I really feel my actions have been focused and effective and that feels great!

I’m also working on my walking foot book! I’ve set a deadline for July 1st to have the text finished, which will be a tough deadline as I’ve decided to add more designs.

I debated this a lot, but ultimately decided I need to honor my nature. I’m a design junkie! It’s also going to be used next year as our guide for the Machine Quilting Block Party so the more designs we have to quilt, the more we will learn together.

So that’s it for this week’s podcast! If you would like to be on the show or have someone you’d like to recommend, please click here to contact us today. I’m always eager to make more quilting friends!

Let’s go quilt,
