Jenifer Gaston
I am so glad that Jenifer Gaston listened to the Quilting on the Side podcast episode where Andi and Tori interviewed me. Jeni and I didn’t know each other even though we only live about 15 minutes apart. After our interview for this episode on A Quilter’s Life, we continued to chat and found out that she had known my husband’s grandmother and even had been in my house years ago. How do you like that for coincidence!
Jeni’s favorite quilt. A Life of Plenty.
Here’s a quilt that Jeni’s mom made. Jeni showed me the hand stitching and you could see how it changed over the years that her mom worked on it. What a treasture.
Jeni used her Mom’s Featherweight and a toy sewing machine that she had when growing up as decorations in her studio.

Some of the Rugs Jeni made that she had in her studio. Then she showed me how she made them.

During the interview we talk about Jeni’s fabric line with Marcus Fabrics called Scrap Happy. Somehow I forgot to mention the name of it in the interview and wanted to make sure I mentioned it here.

I am really enjoying your podcast and I loved hearing about Jenifer’s family and business pursuits. I am not a “vintage” type quilter so I had not heard of her but her work is lovely.
