Alternate Title: Finding "your people" on the wide world web as a new generation of quilters.
Join Ashelyn and Lacie in a conversation with their dear quilty friends, Christina and Taylor as they unwrap the unique challenges that millennials face as quilters as the traditional scope of the quilting community remains out of reach.
They name a few obstacles but ultimately accept and embrace that relationships are now being nurtured online. Despite each having large Instagram followings, each truly values the small connections being made within their communities.

Alternate Title: How To Love What You Make And Not Have To Make Everything You Love
In episode 15 of The Grateful Thread Podcast, Ashelyn and Lacie talk about avoiding comparison traps in the quilting world and dive into their own experiences with envy and "Quiltstagram".
