About this episode
Sam Hunter and Libs Elliott discuss the balance between creating art for personal fulfillment and for business purposes.
Episode 064 Libs and I fired up this conversation a few weeks before we hung out in person at the European Patchwork Meeting in September. She was just finishing up the work that she exhibited (what a WOW show) and we talked a lot about managing the balance between the art we make for the soul, and art we make for the biz. I can tell you that after hanging out in person for a week, I’ve added Libs to my list of fave peeps in the biz. She is thoughtful and generous, and really cares about taking care of the community she has created (the Sew Squad!). I enjoy her perspectives on things (see also our bonus recording with Daisy Aschehoug from EPM!) and honestly can’t wait to have another good gab with her… right after we both hit some deadlines!
