Studio Tours and Life Transitions

Hey quilters, welcome back to another episode! This week we're catching up with Leslie, who just made the bold leap from 17 years in corporate life to focusing full-time on her true passion - sewing and handwork. We're also hearing some incredible stories about forgiveness and healing from Rochelle, who shared her emotional journey of reconciling with her ex-husband in 2020, plus some lighter moments touring new studio spaces and discussing the surprisingly addictive world of grape soda grapes from Sam's Club. From Tula Pink's amazing five-class lineup at Quiltcon to Doug's surprising move to Dallas, this episode is packed with the kind of authentic conversations that make our quilting community so special. Leslie's processing this major life transition through therapy while we all explore what it means to reclaim our identity after big changes, and Rochelle introduces us to her new "draft theory" about standing tall and maintaining clarity of purpose even when you're feeling isolated.
