Show Notes
This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, I’m joined by Amy Lollis of Amy Lollis Creative, a designer, educator, and business mentor who has thoughtfully reimagined what a sustainable quilting career can look like.Amy began her journey writing quilt patterns and taking on commission work, then expanded into teaching and coaching as her business grew. Over time, she realized she needed a way to continue supporting quilters without burning out. That realization sparked a major shift in how she shows up in the quilt world.In our conversation, Amy shares how she transitioned her in-person offerings into on-demand courses and workbooks, allowing her work to reach more people while creating space for rest and balance. We talk about Scrap Academy, her course for creating beautiful scrap quilts, Build Your SquareSpace Site, and her SEO workbook designed to help makers fine-tune their online presence.Amy is deeply passionate about helping quilters build businesses that are successful, sustainable, and low-maintenance. As she’s redefined her professional goals, she’s also been tending to her inner life and is preparing to pursue a PhD in counseling, bringing care and intention into every part of her work.Find her at www.instagram.com/amylolliscreativePlease enjoy this thoughtful and encouraging conversation.
