The Balance of Passion and Business - With Libs Elliott

Episode 064Libs and I fired up this conversation a few weeks before we hung out in person at the European Patchwork Meeting in September. She was just finishing up the work that she exhibited (what a WOW show) and we talked a lot about managing the balance between the art we make for the soul, and art we make for the biz. I can tell you that after hanging out in person for a week, I’ve added Libs to my list of fave peeps in the biz. She is thoughtful and generous, and really cares about taking care of the community she has created (the Sew Squad!). I enjoy her perspectives on things (see also our bonus recording with Daisy Aschehoug from EPM!) and honestly can’t wait to have another good gab with her… right after we both hit some deadlines!Show NotesWebsite - https://libselliott.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/libselliottYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/libselliottFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/libselliottPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/libselliottSneaky Dee’s Bar in Toronto, Canada - https://www.sneakydees.com/Cliff’s PDX - https://www.cliffspdx.com/Lib’s Textile Tour in Japan - https://kyotokimono.com/pages/trips-to-kyotoNancy McDonough - https://kyotokimono.com/pages/who-we-areSew Squad - https://sewsquad.libselliott.com/European Patchwork Meeting - https://patchwork-europe.eu/en/home/Luke Haynes - https://www.luke.art/Zak Foster - https://www.zakfoster.com/Productive Flourishing - Start Finishing - https://www.productiveflourishing.com/p/start-finishingTeam Habits - https://www.productiveflourishing.com/p/team-habitsHeidi Parkes - https://www.heidiparkes.com/Tara Faughnan - https://tarafaughnan.com/QuiltCon - https://www.themodernquiltguild.com/quiltcon/quiltcon-homeSoak Wash - https://soakwash.com/Jacqueline Sava - https://soakwash.com/blogs/soak-stories/soak-story-1Andover Fabrics - https://www.andoverfabrics.com/Libs Fabric Collections - https://www.andoverfabrics.com/SingleDesignerNew.php?Designer=Libs%20ElliottTula Pink - https://www.tulapink.com/Alison Glass - https://alisonglass.com/Juki TL-18 QVP - https://jukiquilting.com/products/haruka-tl-18qvp.htmlPfaff Passport - https://www.singer.com/products/pfaff-passport-2-0-sewing-machine?srsltid=AfmBOopr79ehdR__jUhybwXPK_qaO2AoyDcwS4nR6crultIls32aHa9A&variant=47703999086871Pfaff expressions - https://www.singer.com/collections/all-pfaff-machines?srsltid=AfmBOopCnN1nVb7VdJN0s-TvVPtt9N2kp29_Xq_TzT3QtF_vQw3P6QQFDaisy Ashehoug - https://daisyaschehoug.com/How to Own a Revolutionary Craft Biz is a reader-supported publication.
