Here’s the text of an email I just sent out to the Quilting Business community… No… I’m not losing my mind! A couple of days ago, I posted on the blog about completely redefining how I offer products on the QuiltingBusiness.com site.

I’m going to start with “how to sell your quilts” with a particular emphasis on why you need to create a story and price HIGHER.

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 the winners are: How […]

OK… so I’ve been very quiet since the holidays. Part of it was the football play-offs (and we won’t talk about the result of the Super Bowl ever again!), and part of it has been sheer laziness. But, with the promise of Spring just around the corner, I’ve started to come out of my self-imposed […]

Here’s another question from one of the Quilting Biz community. It comes from Dyna, who is looking to get some basic information about business permits and advertising a new quilting business. Here are her questions: If you are actually running the business from your home are any type of permits required from the city or […]
