    Doing It Your Own Way - with Diana Fitzgerald
    2026/09/23

    085

    In this episode, Diana Fitzgerald of Banjo Flannel talks to us about figuring out how to do things her own way, and not really paying attention to what other people are up to. We also talk about her brand new book featuring patchwork and sashiko.

    We talked about how having a scientific brain works well with pattern writing, and how it’s necessary to be interested in something to have a chance at being good at it.

  • Making, Curating, Exhibiting, and Experiencing Activist Art - with Mel Beach

    Making, Curating, Exhibiting, and Experiencing Activist Art - with Mel Beach
    2026/09/09

    084

    In this episode, Mel Beach is back with us! Mel and I took on a convo about activism quilts, and how they appear out in the world – both throughout history, and in the current landscape of both artistic activism and politics. We talk all the facets of making this work, curating it, displaying it, and experiencing it as a viewer. And what to do when you come across work that isn’t your cup of tea.

    Mel has also been making up a storm of fun stuff on her IG feed, using watercolor instead of fabric for the moment. We talk about how making the ugly stuff helps you make the good stuff!

    In this episode I’m chatting with Rachel Allen about copywriting and marketing. She talks about finding a way to be human in your marketing communications without being performative, and about understanding what your customer is looking for first before you attempt to sell them anything!

    Taking the Temperature of What You Do - with Jo Avery
    2026/08/12
    Episode 082In this episode I’m chatting with Jo Avery. We talk about her entrepreneurial journey from her early twenties, and how she has refined her businesses along the way to suit the stages of her life, including moving from in person teaching to online, and partnering with people who have other skill sets and compliment hers.Jo is also a maker of temperature quilts - a style of quilting that has fascinated me. She talks about developing them using improv techniques (her favorite way to work) and using these, and 100 Days projects, as playgrounds for her next big idea.Show NotesWebsite - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/joaverystitch/Bayeux Tapestry - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayeux_TapestryBritish Museum/Bayeux Tapestry - https://www.britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/bayeux-tapestryLady and the Unicorn Tapestry - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_and_the_UnicornFestival of Quilts - https://www.thefestivalofquilts.co.uk/Daisy Aschehoug - https://warmfolk.com/Svalbard Retreat - https://warmfolk.com/products/svalbard-retreat-2026-depositThread House Academy - https://academy.thethreadhouse.co.uk/Creative Spark - https://ctpub.com/Cleopatra’s Needle Needlepoint - https://www.cleopatrasneedle.co.uk/Jo’s Temperature quilt - https://joavery.co.uk/temperature-quilt-and-temperature-embroidery/Temperature quilt archive - https://joavery.co.uk/category/temperature-quilt/Karen Lewis - https://www.karenlewistextiles.com/Nick Ball - https://www.instagram.com/quiltsfromtheattic/?hl=enKelly Lautenbach - https://www.instagram.com/itsjustsew/Exhausted Octopus - https://exhaustedoctopus.com/*Dear Data: A Friendship in 52 Weeks of Postcards - https://amzn.to/4o7lpXUJo’s patterns - https://store.stitchgathering.co.uk/collections/pdf-patternsJourney to the Centre of a Quilter Book - https://store.stitchgathering.co.uk/products/journey-to-the-centre-of-a-quilter-bookHandiquilter Moxie - https://handiquilter.com/product/hq-moxie-15-quilt-machine/?srsltid=AfmBOop_zOlmMc1xxxky0-rIJoSdGN0hf3sWoyDbktMoBw3AsJKmMN3sAurifil - https://www.aurifil.com/Modern American Vintage - https://modernamericanvintage.com/Poking tool - https://modernamericanvintage.com/collections/quilting-tools/products/pointturnersScorer - https://modernamericanvintage.com/collections/quilting-tools/products/heramarkers*Affiliate link - I might make a commission but you don’t pay moreHow to Own a Revolutionary Craft Biz is a reader-supported publication.

    Where the Inspiration Comes From - with e bond (Part 2)
    2026/07/29
    Episode 081In Part 2 of my convo with book artist and fabric designer e bond, we delved into where you look for inspiration. e brought a lot of her book making and painting skills to her first fabric designs, and subsequent lines relate back to this in an on-going story.We also talk about what can be inspiration, and it’s not necessarily other art. e is a huge reader, and many of the books she reads turn into art ideas. I loved the great sense of art being threaded through all aspects of her life, and honestly, find myself needing to do a bit more of that in mine!Show NotesWebsite - https://ebondwork.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/eisroughdraft/Creativebug classes - https://www.creativebug.com/instructors/e-bondEnid Blyton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enid_Blyton*The Notebook, The History of Thinking on Paper, by Roland Allen - https://amzn.to/4wZP09tAustin Kleon - https://austinkleon.com/*Mick Herron Slough House - https://amzn.to/4u01MCd*Twyla Tharp, The Creative Habit - https://amzn.to/4ecMOUL*The Art of Looking Sideways - Alan Fletcher - https://amzn.to/4vlRDB5*Picturing and Poeting - https://amzn.to/3PQFnJu*Robin Wall Kimmerer - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Robin-Wall-Kimmerer/author/B001KIHUZE?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=25143b97-e2d8-49ab-94ec-7cb6e815745f*Braiding Sweetgrass- https://amzn.to/4wZMU9y*Atomic Habits - https://amzn.to/4dF3jsH*The Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes - https://amzn.to/4uFAXo714-Pattern Series - https://huntersdesignstudio.com/shop/?swoof=1&product_cat=quilt-patterns&product_tag=fourteen-fqsThe Slowdown Show - https://www.slowdownshow.org/Tracy K.

  • Allowing the Creative Process to Lead You - with e bond (Part 1)

    Allowing the Creative Process to Lead You - with e bond (Part 1)
    2026/07/15

    Episode 080

    Book artist and fabric designer e bond joined the pod and we had a really vibrant conversation about how to discover and work in one’s own creative process. We also talk about how to capture ideas and where they live until they can be brought to life.

    I find creative process conversations so thrilling. We all do it differently, and yet, we’re all essentially reaching for the same thing: the place where we get to manifest an idea into something of substance.

    Our conversation went long, and it was so satisfying that we’re making it a two-parter.

  • The Legacies We Live In and Leave Behind - with Kristin Barrus

    The Legacies We Live In and Leave Behind - with Kristin Barrus
    2026/07/08

    Episode 079

    Kristin Barrus was just recently awarded her doctorate, and the focus of her studies were entrepreneurial quilt makers. I was honored to be one of her interview subjects a couple of years ago, and it was wonderful to talk to her about what came from all her research.

    I can’t begin to summarize it, other than to say it’s fascinating. It’s both surprising and not surprising to hear that many entrepreneurs, while connected to the cloth and smart about making businesses in the industry, are equally interested in altruistically creating legacies that support other women. Definitely singing a song I love!

  • Designing Quilt Patterns to Make Something That Can't Be Unmade - with Cheryl Brickey

    Designing Quilt Patterns to Make Something That Can't Be Unmade - with Cheryl Brickey
    2026/06/24

    In this episode my Cheryl Brickey of MeadowMist Designs joins the podcast. When not designing quilts, and running a really fun and successful Curated Pattern Bundles project, Cheryl works writing patents for an industrial fabric design company.

    We talk about the building blocks of pattern writing, design inspiration, and what, if anything, pattern designers can do to protect their intellectual property.

    We talked a little about what got us into quilting, and Cheryl said something that really resonated with me: she wanted to make something that couldn’t be unmade. What a great way to look at the legacy behind a quilt.
