#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!)

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!
