Joining and Building the Quilting Community - with HollyAnne Knight

#057 - I was so excited to talk with HollyAnne Knight because I see her as such a powerhouse of positivity and inclusivity within the industry. She calls all her people Rock Stars, and upholds them as such in the community she creates, in her shop in Duluth, Georgia, and her online education platforms.

I feel like she’s a natural born teacher, and part of her teaching approach is to make everything easier (and more accessible!) for her students too.

She tells the story of building her store while trying to collaborate with the other stores in her area, and carrying the products that compliment what else is available and makes a wider selection for the local customers - and how challenging it can be to be expansive and collaborative in a world that thinks of success in a limited way like slices of pie!

She wants to build a community of women who dare to be FOR each other (I think we should trademark that!)
