Episode Synopsis
Episode 15: Fabric, Finances & Friendship: How Quilters Can Thrive Despite Rising Costs
In this episode of Patchwork Revival, I’m exploring how quilting continues to connect generations—especially during challenging economic times. As rising tariffs and inflation impact the cost of quilting for both quilters and quilting-adjacent businesses, this episode focuses on realistic, compassionate advice on how we can continue our craft without compromising our sense of community or creativity.
This episode is perfect for experienced or beginner quilters, and anyone who loves quilts of any kind! Enjoy encouraging insights on intentional quilting, budget-friendly fabric sourcing, and supporting small quilt shops, fabric designers, notion and fabric manufacturers, and even quilt pattern designers. I’ll also open up about my current quilting projects, personal reflections, and how quilting can be a powerful form of self-care and stress relief.
If you're looking for ways to keep quilting affordable, foster kindness in our community, and stay inspired during uncertain times—this episode is for you!
