Beth shares two projects she's working on now. The first is an Iowa State-theme table runner for a United Way auction. (She used this pattern.) And the second project is a set of reusable sandwich wraps and snack bags.

We share listener-submitted tips, including those for rolling binding, making T-shirt quilts, strip piecing, and getting flat seams. One listener also shared a great resource for finding quilt shops while traveling. (Visit quiltinghub.com.)

Lindsay shares an idea for taking a fall drive to see the scenery and find a barn quilt trail.

See a list of barn quilt trails across the country here.
