On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about building a career as artist who makes quilts with my guest, Jane Sassaman. After a varied career in the design world, Jane Sassaman began to quilt in 1980. She found that these “soft paintings” satisfied the draftsman, the craftsman and the artist in her. Consequently, she is now a dedicated (some say “obsessed”) quilt artist and fabric designer. Her art quilts have been shown in many national and international exhibits, including Quilt National 1989 through 2005 and Contemporary American Quilts, the first major exhibit of American art quilts in England. Her quilt “Willow” was named as One of the One Hundred Best American Quilts of the Century. Jane is also the author of The Quilted Garden. The book includes twenty years of her work and exercises for making nature-inspired quilts. Jane’s love for historic decorative arts can be seen in all facets of her work, but it is especially evident in the exuberant fabric she is currently designing for FreeSpirit. Her designs are oversized and colorful and have been coined as “William Morris on anti-depressants”. They are created for quilts, wearables and home decorating. Her latest book, Patchwork Sassaman Style, beautifully illustrates her fabric “in action." +++++ This episode is sponsored by Sewing Studio.

This week our interview takes on a married couple who both changed their lives in the past 5-7 years in order to follow their dreams and start new careers. Tracy McElfresh runs Tracy's Sewing Studio in Dayton, Ohio and Jeffery McElfresh is the head brewer and helped open Yellow Springs Brewery in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Their journey started with Tracy leaving her job to open a fabric shop just as Jeffery was losing his job as a manager with Border's. Jeffrey took that moment as an opportunity to take his home brewing hobby into the professional realm.
