    BONUS EP: At the European Patchwork Meeting with Libs Elliott and Daisy Aschehoug
    Oct 8 2025

    I recently attended the Carrefour European Patchwork Meeting (EPM) in Alsace, France. I shared lodging with Daisy Aschehoug and Libs Elliott, both veteran attendees and exhibitors.

    Libs was on the jury for the show, and was also exhibiting an all new solo show, a series of quilts made with generative code. I got to help hang that show and it was magnificent.

    One evening, I put the microphone in the middle of our table, and we poured some wine, turned on the mic, and just had a chat. We covered artistic process, new and old ideas in quilting, the eternal tension of derivation vs inspiration, and remembering to turn on the camera occasionally!

    I hope you enjoy a peek behind the scenes!

  • Embracing Tradition - with Tara Faughnan

    Embracing Tradition - with Tara Faughnan
    Oct 1 2025
    #060: Tara Faughnan takes us on her quilting journey, through fabric design and a passion for traditional quilting blocks. She was recently the keynote speaker at QuiltCon 2025, and the attendees got to see her exploration of her maximalist traditional quilts in a lovely solo exhibition. Tara talks about finding the rhythm in her color palettes, which I find to be very distinctive! We talked about collaborative processes, and Tara says that while she collaborated a lot when she was designing textiles, she doesn’t look for collaboration when designing her quilts.We talk about how she researched the data she presented in her keynote about how poorly represented women in in museums, fine arts, galleries, and collections, and that despite occasionally thinking she should be come a painter to garner more art-world respect, she always returns to the women-driven lineage of quilting - and how much she values being part of that lineage. She talks more about all the feels around creating that keynote, but I’ll let you give it a listening her own words rather than my cliff-notes!She also talks about figuring out the right things to do, industry-wise, that make money, and appeals to us to stop working for free (motion seconded!)Show NotesWebsite - https://tarafaughnan.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tarafaughnanFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/people/Tara-Faughnan-Quilts/100083173158162/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDinczHJgfzjlV4vqG-3c1A/featuredQuiltCon - https://www.themodernquiltguild.com/quiltcon/quiltcon-homeTara’s Exhibit at Quiltcon 2025: https://youtu.be/3w8v9M6d-EEMichael Miller - https://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/Hoffman Fabrics - https://hoffmancaliforniafabrics.net/Block Studies - https://tarafaughnan.com/pages/block-studies?srsltid=AfmBOop12ymWIjP4_mJ9gRrJGMZ__TpDPESA9s9tUtPQ0YnvV5vAIGSSClos Mirabel Retreat - https://tarafaughnan.com/products/clos-mirabel-depositOther Upcoming Events - https://tarafaughnan.com/pages/upcoming-eventsClos Mirabel - https://clos-mirabel.com/Daisy Aschehoug - https://daisyaschehoug.com & https://warmfolk.comSheila Frampton Cooper - https://www.zoombaby.com/Embroidered Journey - https://embroideredjourney.com/How to Own a Revolutionary Craft Biz is a reader-supported publication.

  • Authentically Attracting Your People - With Samantha Hoyt

    Authentically Attracting Your People - With Samantha Hoyt
    Sep 17 2025

    #059 - Samantha Hoyt was a joy to talk to - two Sams collide to talk about all the things, and let me tell you, we discovered we have a lot in common. Sam is past the point of being anything other than authentically who she is (which is passionate about sewing, taking care of the planet, and a lot of other big hearted things), and as it turns out, that’s what brings people back to her sewing retreats year after year.

    She is very much a maker, and makes a lot of her own clothes. She is intimately aware of the cost of fast fashion, especially the hidden costs to environment and to the people making the garments. She’s an advocate of us all to do better about keeping clothes out of the landfill.

  • Navigating the Gatekeeping - with Karlee Porter

    Navigating the Gatekeeping - with Karlee Porter
    Sep 3 2025
    #058 - Karlee Porter is a life-long artist, always going in her own direction. So it makes sense that when she turned to quilting, especially long-arm quilting, she took to doing it her way - and teaches other to follow their own inspiration too.We talked about important industry things - like pricing according to the complexity of the pattern, and how to navigate (and not participate in) the gatekeeping that plagues most craft industries. She also talked about creating her company Honest Fabric with very deliberate environmental considerations at the forefront, and a structure for paying its artist partners a very close second.Show NotesWebsite: https://www.karleeporter.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karleeporterdesignFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/karleeporterquiltsGraffiti Quilting Masterclass - https://www.karleeporter.com/shop/education/graffiti-quilting-master-class/Holly Anne Knight - https://www.stringandstory.com/Shimmering Symphony - https://www.karleeporter.com/shop/digital-designs/printablequiltpatterns/shimmering-symphony-pattern-pdf/Carol Bryer Fallert-Gentry - https://bryerpatch.com/Karen McTavish - https://www.mctavishquilting.com/Machines documentary - https://www.amazon.com/Machines-Rahul-Jain/dp/B0769ZG321Carolina Moore - https://www.carolinamoore.com/Oeko-tex certification - https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/our-standards/oeko-tex-standard-100Graffiti Quilting Book - https://www.karleeporter.com/shop/books/graffiti-quilting-a-simple-guide-to-complex-designs/Honest Fabrics - https://www.honestfabric.com/The Foundation - ‎Watch Foundation - Apple TV+‎Apple TV+https://tv.apple.com › show › foundationBaby Lock Longarm Quilting machines - https://babylock.com/machines/longarm-quiltingAlison Glass - https://alisonglass.com/Guicy Guice - https://alisonglass.com/Libs Elliott - https://libselliott.com/*Digital Muse: Bringing AI Into Your Creative Process - https://amzn.to/3Gfm8op*Joseph Albers Interaction of Color - https://amzn.to/3GfmaN3*Affiliate link - I might make a commission but you don’t pay moreHow to Own a Revolutionary Craft Biz is a reader-supported publication.

  • Joining and Building the Quilting Community - with HollyAnne Knight

    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.

  • 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.
