In this episode of Sew Off Kilter, Ian and Becca take a stroll down memory lane to uncover the moment they each finally embraced the title quilter. From first quilt shops (or, in Ian’s case, not remembering the first shop at all) to the awkward, funny, and sentimental milestones that shaped their quilting identity, this episode mixes heartfelt reflection with the usual laughs. They also touch on how their quilting journeys have evolved—and what “being a quilter” really means. Whether you’ve been quilting for decades or just picked up your first fat quarter, this one’s all about those ah-ha! moments that stitch us to the craft.

Becca and Ian dig deep (literally and emotionally) into their fabric stashes to confess just how big their collections have grown. From irresistible fat quarter bundles to that fabric they swear they’ll use “someday,” they explore the habits, hilarity, and heartbreak of being a fabric hoarder. Tune in for laughs, relatable stories, and a few tips for managing your stash (or at least pretending to). No judgment here—this is a safe space for fellow fabric fanatics.
