making it fun: Brand Ambassador Intro

Our final 2022 Brand Ambassador is the incredibly talented Kim Jamieson-Hirst from Chatterbox Quilts. Her love of fabric and crafting is infectious and we're so excited to have her as part of the Michael Miller Family! The designs that she creates are innovative and beautiful. Read all about her and her sewing journey below.

Kim Jamieson-Hirst is the owner of Chatterbox Quilts, a quilting business dedicated to helping quilters learn and improve their skills. Kim’s a YouTube influencer whose upbeat personality and easy to understand tutorials attract viewers. She is the creator of several online quilting courses, such as The Mandala Project and First Steps into Free Motion Quilting. Kim shares her quilting knowledge through her Chatterbox Quilts’ YouTube channel, Chatterbox Quilts’ Crew group, and her private online membership, The Quilter’s Way, where members learn new techniques by creating projects.

Kim is helped in her quilt studio by her purry assistants, Teeka, Victor, and Salem who are always eager to lend a paw or two. When not quilting, Kim can be found binge watching shows on Netflix (the scarier, the better!), creating in her studio or filming videos with her hubby, Gary.

Kim doesn’t believe in the quilt police but does believe that quilting is more than stitching an accurate 1⁄4” seam (if it ain’t fun, it ain’t quilting 😉), that chocolate is an essential quilting tool, and that practice makes improvement…and you’re improving with each quilt you make!
