    Collaborative Design Projects - with Kristy Lea
    Apr 1 2026
    Kristy Lea visits the pod again, and this time we dig into what it takes to run and participate in collaborative design projects.We discuss the differences in doing free block projects for strategic email list growth, and patterns for sale projects - and Kristy and I have collaborated on both kinds in the past couple of years.There’s a lot of organization to get them up and running, and Kristy reminds us that the customer service lift can be pretty heavy at the outset. But we both agree that enthusiastic customers - especially the ones that write sweet emails - are worth the efforts!Show Notes Kristy Lea - Quiet Play Designs - https://quietplaydesigns.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/quietplay/ @quietplayBack to Nature QAL - https://www.leilagardunia.com/back-to-nature-paper-piecing-quilt-alongAngie at Gnome Angel - https://www.gnomeangel.com/Leila Gardunia - https://www.leilagardunia.com/Frightful Fun Block of the Month - https://huntersdesignstudio.com/product/frightful-fun-block-of-the-month/EQ8 - https://electricquilt.com/online-shop/category/electric-quilt-8-eq8/?srsltid=AfmBOop3VMc-cG6ufCKyB9t62HcAb4n1Afq-upsp_f9SvwSVhc-oOSD8Adobe Illustrator - https://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.htmlWinter Wonderland - https://quietplaydesigns.com/pages/winter-wonderland-signup?srsltid=AfmBOop_wVwb7XtABRH_MkMQyplDdyLK8XavqRzKF4XfcSQpfngjwPPVNicole of Sew Much Moore - https://www.sewmuchmoore.com/Leslie of Seasoned Homemaker - https://www.seasonedhomemaker.comMake Mine Mini - https://quietplaydesigns.com/products/make-mine-mini-fpp-membershipFrightful Fun BOM Podcast - https://www.revcraftbiz.com/p/the-frightful-fun-block-of-the-monthHow to Own a Revolutionary Craft Biz is a reader-supported publication.

  • Big Quilt Shows - Exhibiting, Lecturing, and Teaching - with Daisy Aschehoug

    Big Quilt Shows - Exhibiting, Lecturing, and Teaching - with Daisy Aschehoug
    Mar 18 2026

    # 071 - Daisy Aschehoug returns the the podcast to talk about working for the big quilt shows, and the wide variations in compensation they offer.

    As you well know, my biggest concern is always to challenge any model that relies on the underpaid labor of women for its success.

    There are so many levers to pull in terms of paying people well (or at least fairly), and we talk about the pros and cons of some of the decisions both we and a venue can make. They can also be profitable in terms of exposure - which we all know is my least favorite currency!

    It’s a great discussion that covers a lot - including making sure your contracts cover shipping (with tariffs) correctly.
