About

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for coming by the site – it means so much to me!

I produce a podcast called ‘Within A Quarter Inch’ – it’s about quilting and crafting – my life as it were.

I am married and have  TWO (they will turn 3 on Thanksgiving Day!) year old TWINS! Can you say ‘busy momma’?

About a year ago (December 8th, 2008 but whose counting?) I  chose to stay home and be a SAHM and couldn’t be happier. After being in the accounting/business/financial reporting world for 10 years – this is the best decision I ever made.

We will have to tighten a couple of strings – or thread, as the case may be – but I’m sure we will manage.

Again, thanks for stopping by and please subscribe to the podcast so you don’t miss an episode.

    I am so happy for you Life is always a balancing act, and choices need to be made You will find a way to make your choices work It will be good for your children, and give you a chance to be a stay at home Mom. If it isn’t to your liking, there will always be another job to be found

    Allison, Thanks so much for doing your podcast; I love listening. You have a beautiful voice and by listening to you l feel motivated to quilt. I don’t care if some of them don’t even contain any information about quilting; so ignore those horrid comments.

    Congratulations on becoming a SAHM. I’m happy that you are happy. Enjoy it all.

    Allison, thank you for creating and continuing your podcast! As a single mom, I can certainly identify with your just-a-quarter-inch-away-from-chaos life. I listen to you when I escape to my sewing room – thank you for your great tip quilts and reassuring voice!

    Hi there Allison!
    Just want to tell you how much I love your podcast, you keep me company when I sew, clean up the kitchen or take a walk. You really make me laugh (although I have to say people are looking at me when I’m in a public place). I have downloaded all the episodes, so I still have quilte a few hours left, but keep them coming:-)

    I just love your podcast, I discovered it about a month ago and always listen to it at the gym. I have a young daughter and I swear you are like the fun friend who you can say anything to. I discovered today that your only 2 hours from us in Ohio, how funny is that! Keep it up.

    Thanks for the podcast. Like Christine I discovered your podcast about a month ago and enjoyed them while commuting to work. I enjoyed them so much that I got on I-tunes and downloaded the entire past podcast sessions that were listed. Listening to you really motivates me to want to go to my sewing room as soon as I get home from work and just sew on a quilting project. You are like a breath of fresh air in the summer. You’re like getting a call from a long time friend. I hope you are able to podcast for many years.

    Hey Allison, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your podcasts. They have kept me entertained over the last several months. Tonight, when my husband and I went to see an ‘intense’ movie (District 9), I pulled out my trusty itouch and listened to something friendly and fun—-you!
    When my children were small, I was never able to complete even a fraction of the sewing you accomplish. Keep up the great work!
