But, since I’m switching the methods, you may receive duplicate emails from me if you signed up to the Quilting Business email list over the past two months. I’ll eventually remove the 35 or so people from the older blog list, but I wanted to apologize up front for duplicate emails.

… and what this has to do with your quilting business
Well… It’s the day after the Super Bowl, and my New England Patriots couldn’t beat the New York Giants to claim their fourth World Championship in seven years. It’s a depressing day for Patriots fans, but I guess it’s a heck of a [...]
