Work at Home - Make an Income With Quilting

Your beautiful hobby is now under consideration to bring an income into your household. Work at home and make an income with quilting.

Your hobby is earning money for your household. Does it get any better than that? Imagine, earning an income doing something that you love.

Friends, relatives, and neighbors have complimented your work and admire your talents. So there is your proof that your sewing skills are marketable. In fact, some people have asked if you would consider making them a quilt and they are willing to pay money to have you do so. If people have offered to financially compensate you for your quilt making why not go into business?

Be your own boss. Start your quilting business today. You can do it. You probably have many quilts being stored in closets waiting for a new home. You may be shy; however, after you make your first sale you will be very comfortable selling your quilts.

Quilting is your passion and perhaps you are concerned that you would ruin your hobby. Not true. People purchasing your quilts will actually inspire your passion to continue because you see how happy you are making others with your beautiful creations.

Working at home allows you to work in your comfortable surroundings. Your schedule is flexible allowing fantastic social time to be with your family and friends. Or to run your personal errands without regard for a boss who wants to know why you need time off from work.

It is your income, so you are the judge as to how much money you wish to earn. There are quilters that are earning a hundred dollars an hour or selling their finished quilts at three thousand dollars or more. It would not be unreasonable to quote that you could make an additional one thousand to four thousand dollars a month as either part time or full time income working at home.

Knowing the uncertainty of the economy you can make your income definite by making and selling quilts. There are step by step instructions to turn your quilting passion into a home business. If you have never been in business before there is information to guide you into the business world.

You are probably getting excited about the prospects of being in business for yourself. The next question might be what quilting do I want to do?

Through the years I have learned to be a jack-of-all-trades and maybe mastered one. Because my interests are many, diversity has been the road most traveled. Currently, my hobby is learning and combining these interests with my business of internet marketing.

Planet Patchwork won't be undersold on quilting software!

Jazziest booth decoration honors were a tie between Riley Blake and Alexander Henry. Riley Blake’s “Eye Candy" gets kudos for the beautiful candyland they created in the aisles. Super cute, too, was the Utah firm’s fabric catalog that contained project directions using their fabric lines along with some yummy treats to cook. Most notable of their designs in my mind was the Wanna Be a Cowboy, available in two colorways -- pink and brown or blue and brown. This would be darling for children’s clothing or bedrooms. Alexander Henry’s “Sew Spooky” was way over the top as well, with a life-size witch and all of her pals -- crows, skulls and spiders. I couldn’t help but realize that much of my favorite Halloween fabric in the last few years has been thanks to this fabric group. Cutest dress-up mention should go to Bunnie’s Designs' Alice in Wonderland and her husband, the Mad Hatter. It took us a full day to catch a glimpse of the hatted one because he preferred wandering the floor to staying in the booth , but he was worth the search.

The cleverest giveaway was Warm and Natural plastic bracelet which held a jump drive loaded with the company’s catalog! Have to love the creativity. However, Shannon Fabric was handing out mini-blankies made of their soft cuddly fabric (some with the famous minky dimples and some not) and they sure were popular. Many of us walked around feeling our nice mini-throws as we walked the aisles. Their catalog lists so many colors, prints and soft textures that I’m sure shop owners needed comfort as they tried to chose among all the soft, cuddly fabrics!
 
Chair covers this year did not seem as inspired as they might have been, although I was sort of partial to Henry Glass’ “Whimseyland” covers with appliquéd backs. Windham Fabric’s school house theme ( I think all my years in education may have resulted in my not totally loving it) was very nicely done, complete with math-problems on the chalkboard. The chair covers there were pretty awesome, especially the cushioned seats!

Most unusual at the Food Court had to have been what appeared to be Chinese vegetables atop corn chips. I overheard someone comment “Fusion? That looks like Asian nachos!” However, after some Googling, I suspect that we were not viewing corn chips but wonton wrappers, which, in retrospect, sounds pretty good. Otherwise, it was pretty much what you expect -- Quizno’s, hot dogs, Southern stuff, BBQ potatoes, fudge, nuts, and lots of sugar-laden baked goods. I stuck with my protein bar!

As much as we love Market, Market is really all about business. Shopowners have important decisions to make about what and how much to buy, which tends to be stressful. Although the quilt display is there, it is the icing for attendees, not the cake. They visit the exhibit, but usually not until they have done much of the work they came here to do. For that reason, I always love to be sure to spend some time in what I call “the Quilt Cathedral”. The dimly lit (to minimize possibility of light damage) cavernous hall with the hush that comes from few people in the high space seems to mirror a giant church. And of course, being in the presence of all the artistic beauty is a pretty awesome experience.
