Taking on the Challenges - with Jo Wollschlaeger

#056: Jo Wollschlaeger talks challenges on the pod! She takes on a lot of the challenges in the modern quilting world, like the Pantone Color of the Year Challenge, or any of the various challenges for the MQG’s yearly QuiltCon show. And she’s good at them too, most recently winning a ribbon at QC 2025 for a quilt that started as a Pantone Challenge for the color Peach Fuzz. She really challenged ME with her statement that there are no bad colors - just ones you might find challenging! She thinks we should rise to those color challenges, but I’m not so sure !

We have a lot in common in our way of thinking about art and I love talking about it with her because I feel we bounce great ideas off each other. This pod is a bit of a peek into that!
