Subscribe for weekly quilting breakdowns, and let me know in the comments if you have a favorite charity you like to support with your sewing.

I’m Barry — a retired electrician who traded wires for fabric and found a new passion in quilting. Since retiring in 2021, I’ve enjoyed the freedom to create, travel, and share my projects on my YouTube channel, Barry Quilts.
