Episode 25 – Pride & Joy Quilting with Guest Veruschka Zarate

This week on The Sewcial Hour Podcast, we’re joined by the incredibly talented and award-winning quilt maker and pattern designer Veruschka Zarate of Pride & Joy Quilting. Known for her bold, vibrant designs and mastery of foundation paper piecing (FPP), Veruschka shares how she discovered her passion for quilting, what inspires her jaw-dropping creations, and her favorite tips for quilters ready to try FPP for the first time.

We chat about her journey from learning traditional piecing in 2016 to becoming a BERNINA and Handi Quilter Ambassador, teaching internationally, and even releasing her own WonderFil thread collection. Plus, she tells us what keeps her creativity flowing, how she pushes the boundaries of FPP design, and the joy she finds in teaching others.

Whether you’re new to paper piecing or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with inspiration, encouragement, and practical advice you won’t want to miss.
