  • Stitching Your Feminism - with Stephanie Rohr

    Stitching Your Feminism - with Stephanie Rohr
    Oct 15 2025
    Stephanie Rohr first crossed my radar a few years ago, when a NY Times article detailed that her first book, Feminist Cross Stitch, got pulled from Michaels for having profanity in its pages. I immediately bought the book (solidarity!) and thought what a cool woman, I hope to meet her some day!Well friends, that day happened and it was such a great convo. We talk about both the support and reactions to her books (the second one has lovely messages of self care - and a relatively equal ratio of cuss words, all supported by her publisher)We talk about the political aspects of stitching, but also the practical, financial, accessible, and ergonomic aspects of it too. Being in any creative field that calls upon your body demands that you figure out how to do it without hurting yourself!Stephanie’s theater background has inspired and informed some of the words she stitches, but stitching was also a way to busy her hands while calming her mind in theater productions and rehearsals. All that stitching eventually turned into a business.She loves to teach - but even more than that, She’s a huge proponent of just stitching any way that works for YOU. No perfect backs, unless you want them to be - just have fun doing it!

  • BONUS EP: At the European Patchwork Meeting with Libs Elliott and Daisy Aschehoug

    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.
