In this episode, Rochelle and Leslie stitched together conversations as colorful as their fabric stashes! They shared exciting personal projects, with Rochelle completing a wedding quilt and diving into her label-making obsession, while both exchanged travel wisdom about the Mobile Passport Control app and Viking cruise adjustments. The crafty duo discussed upcoming retreats, Halloween plans with grandchildren, and fitness journeys, before unraveling conversations about shipping costs, quilt-making techniques, and the surprising history of ranch dressing. Their needle-sharp wit shone through discussions of buffalo wings, tomato soup preparations for Thanksgiving retreats, and the practical wisdom that UPS might beat USPS for heavier packages.
The conversation took a heartfelt turn as Rochelle shared her involvement with suicide prevention initiatives and her touching experience giving quilts to unhoused individuals, emphasizing the importance of remembering loved ones for their positive qualities. Creative energy flowed through discussions of zipper bag projects, with Rochelle hunting for the perfect colored zippers and planning to bring her creations to an upcoming retreat. These quilting companions wrapped up their chat with sewing projects featuring directional chicken fabric, a Nutcracker-themed quilt class, matching family pajamas, and heartwarming stories of community support—including how Patty helped an unhoused woman named Barbara secure Social Security benefits, leading to Barbara's touching plan to donate underwear and socks for the holidays.
This is a jam-packed episode filled with heart. Enjoy!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
