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.

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!

Episode 083

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!
