We've grown into a community about quilting, crafting, entrepreneurship and intellectual property.

Just Wanna Quilt Podcast
We done over 400 interviews over the last four years. Jump in anywhere! The interviews are recorded for research into quilting, crafts, and related legal issues that arise, and we share them with the public. There is little editing. We also tend to post in spurts, as I finish with the research. We also have a lot of fun and talk about all kinds of things. Learn more here

We have a new law book!
Social media is now part of the workplace -- whatever kind of workplace that is -- crafters, K-12, manufacturing, corporations, consulting firms, everything.
