Measure Twice, Cut Once
....and other life and business lessons learned from quilting. Makers have stories! And crafters have skills!
In these casual chats and interviews, I (often with a guest) talk honestly about creativity. The joy, and hope, and even healing it can bring, and the businesses we can build doing the things we love.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Pat Sloan - Making Quilting Fun!
Pat Sloan - designer, author, and YouTuber truly has a deep passion for making quilting fun for herself and everyone around her. She's made over 800 quilts!! Pat has a vast experience of all aspects of quilt making and design, from patterns and sewalongs, to fabric design and teaching online.
We chat about some of her most favorite things about creating, and some of the less-favorite. Pat gives some tips for contributing designs to magazines, and also great encouragement for makers who are struggling with new or complex skills.
Pat has an enormous online community and many ways to connect. Daily youtube videos, quiltalongs, Facbook group, and Ukrainian fundraiser are just a few of the ways you can join her to be inspired to make quilts that you love!
