    Joining and Building the Quilting Community - with HollyAnne Knight
    Aug 20 2025

    #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!)

  • Taking on the Challenges - with Jo Wollschlaeger

    Taking on the Challenges - with Jo Wollschlaeger
    Aug 6 2025
    #056: Jo Wollschlaeger talks challenges on the pod! She takes on a lot of the challenges in the modern quilting world, like the Pantone Color of the Year Challenge, or any of the various challenges for the MQG’s yearly QuiltCon show. And she’s good at them too, most recently winning a ribbon at QC 2025 for a quilt that started as a Pantone Challenge for the color Peach Fuzz. She really challenged ME with her statement that there are no bad colors - just ones you might find challenging! She thinks we should rise to those color challenges, but I’m not so sure !We have a lot in common in our way of thinking about art and I love talking about it with her because I feel we bounce great ideas off each other. This pod is a bit of a peek into that!Show NotesInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jowoquilts/Portland Modern Quilt Guild - https://portlandmodernquiltguild.com/Powell’s Book Store - https://www.powells.com/PMQG Rainbow Challenge - https://www.facebook.com/portlandmqg/posts/-the-2025-rainbow-challenge-is-back-at-powells-were-thrilled-to-bring-back-one-o/1076382424520781/Modern Domestic - https://moderndomesticpdx.com/Christina Cameli - https://www.christinacameli.com/Cath Hall - https://wombatquilts.com/Pantone Color of the Year Challenge - https://saroy.net/2025/02/announcing-the-2025-pantone-quilt-challenge/Laura Hartrich - https://www.laurahartrich.com/e Bond - https://freespiritfabrics.com/e-bond/Fabric - https://freespiritfabrics.com/counter-spark-pack-counter/Hamilton Wood Type Museum - https://woodtype.org/Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill - https://www.wholecirclestudio.com/Jacquie Gering - https://www.jacquiegering.com/*Walk - https://amzn.to/3GTnogR*Walk 2.0 - https://amzn.to/3SC3x8oLucy Engels - https://lucyengels.com/Yvonne Fuchs - https://quiltingjetgirl.com/Tara Faughnan - https://tarafaughnan.com/Bars Quilt - https://tarafaughnan.com/collections/shop-all/products/bars-quilt-pattern-pdfBERNINA 330 - https://www.bernina.com/en-US/Machines-US/Series-Overview/BERNINA-3-Series/BERNINA-330BERNINA 770 QE - https://www.bernina.com/en-US/Machines-US/Series-Overview/BERNINA-7-Series/BERNINA-770-QECarol Soderlund - https://www.carolsoderlund.com/Nancy Crow Barn - https://www.nancycrow.com/artretreatsspring2025.2.html*Austin Kleon - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Austin-Kleon/author/B002HDCKJ2?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1747259215&sr=8-1&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=53f75e26-4b7f-4555-a628-bf909e959b0fJames Clear - https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsHow to Own a Revolutionary Craft Biz is a reader-supported publication.

  • Niching and Pivoting - With Amy Lollis

    Niching and Pivoting - With Amy Lollis
    Jul 23 2025

    #055 - My convo with Amy Lollis was so fun. She’s full of thoughts and ideas that move a mile a minute so we covered a lot of ground. I love that she talked about coming out of a pattern designing course more interested in fonts than patterns, and that the course (and life) have made her realize that it stresses her out to write instructions. Sometimes choosing what to do for a business is as much about choosing what NOT to do! She also talks candidly about the challenges of juggling being a mom of littles and an entrepreneurial biz (without the benefit of a 7 figure earning partner!)

  • Stitching for Self Care - with Melissa De Leon Mason

    Stitching for Self Care - with Melissa De Leon Mason
    Jul 9 2025

    054 - Melissa De Leon Mason joins the pod and we had such a great convo! We talked about how teaching has become her favorite part of the industry, and how she decided to teach foundation paper-piecing design - something many designers find very instinctual and not easy to teach. As a therapist, she blended self care and stitching into a very well received QuiltCon class this year. She’s a huge advocate for self care being necessary, not an indulgence - a stance I can very much support! I hope you enjoy this high energy and lovely conversation - and maybe fire up a cuppa and rest a bit while you listen.

    PS - Team Lewis Hamilton!

  • Activism, Art, Craft, and Craftivism - With Betsy Greer

    Activism, Art, Craft, and Craftivism - With Betsy Greer
    Jun 25 2025
    #053: Betsy Greer joins us to talk about the activism inherent in making art and craft. I’ve followed Betsy for several years and have always admired her consistent voice around how art can be used for activism (I happen to LOVE activist art) and it was an honor to talk about this with her. Check out her IG feed too - it’s a wonderful reminder that all creative acts - large or small - have the potential to create or foster change; a great message in today’s turbulent world.Show NotesWebsite - https://www.hellobetsygreer.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craftivista/SAQA - https://www.saqa.com/Threads of Resistance - https://fullercraft.org/exhibitions/threads-of-resistance/International Quilt Museum - https://www.internationalquiltmuseum.org/Church of Craft - https://churchofcraft.org/Fuller Craft Museum - https://fullercraft.org/Lisa Anne Auerbach Knit Sweaters - https://lisaanneauerbach.com/knitQuiltCon - https://quiltcon.com/AIDS quilt - https://www.aidsmemorial.org/quiltConfrontational Ceramics - https://amzn.to/3GmmAkjTrench Art - https://amzn.to/4jHY5MQ*Stitching a Revolution - https://amzn.to/3Gi5vrA*Subversive Stitch - https://amzn.to/42T9Vho*Crafted with Pride - https://amzn.to/4lHs890Betsy’s Books:*Craftivism - https://amzn.to/4lbqqMi*Knitting for Good - https://amzn.to/3HR0Tts*Affiliate link - I might make a commission but you don’t pay moreHow to Own a Revolutionary Craft Biz is a reader-supported publication.
