0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.
0:11.2	This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning
0:15.5	and planning adjacent.
0:18.0	Today we have our guest episode for the month of August. For those who are new listeners,
0:23.3	know that Best Laid Plans does not do guests on a super regular basis. I try to have about one per month
0:28.9	because this is, seems to be what makes sense for the cadence of this podcast and ensures that
0:34.9	when I have somebody on, it's someone truly special that's covering an
0:38.8	angle of planning that I really can't talk about. And this is no exception because our guest today
0:44.7	is a master quilter and has a ton of experience sharing her quilting expertise with the
0:51.7	world via her website and her YouTube channel.
0:55.4	And she also has a passion for planning as it relates to crafting and quilting.
1:00.7	Because she's so passionate about it, she has more recently wanted to refine her planning methods.
1:05.9	And as we discuss on this episode, she actually was a member of Best Laid Plans Academy. So she was one of my
1:12.6	enrolled students in the cohort spring cohort, which was my second cohort. And then after the course
1:19.8	was over, reached out to kind of let me know that she really, really enjoyed it and to talk about
1:26.6	her passion for planning, which is when I asked her to come on because I felt that she really, really enjoyed it and to talk about her passion for planning, which is when I
1:28.2	asked her to come on because I felt that she had a lot to share with you listeners. So I really
1:33.9	hope you enjoy this kind of glimpse into the crafting world and how planning can be
1:39.2	incredibly helpful in that realm. And yeah, I learned a lot from speaking with Sherry. And even though I am not
1:48.5	a crafty person myself, every time I talk to someone in the knitting or fiber arts or quilting
1:54.3	space, I absolutely see the appeal and how relaxing and wonderful for just life enjoyment and mental health it truly can be.
2:03.5	So I will let Sherry share all of her stuff and here we go.
