Many quiltmakers and fabric artists have turned their hobby into an income producing business. It’s important that they develop a bookkeeping system for income and expenses. If they’ve developed a business large enough that they have employees, there are other bookkeeping matters to consider.
The post about bookkeeping at my blog, HomeBizNotes, will give you a place to start with […]
The January theme for our Arts and Crafts Channel’s Theme Day is “All Things New.” This could mean new projects, new directions, turning your hobby into a business, taking new classes…essentially venturing out of your comfort zone.

Quilters and fabric artists simply can’t resist fabric and are always adding to their “stash.” When I was operating a quiltmaking business I used the excuse that I never knew what colors or designs my customers would want. Actually it did come in handy to have a large selection of fabrics to choose from when […]
Quilters often say they’d like to see more photos of quilted and fabric postcards.
My daughter is participating in another postcard swap at Art2Mail. She’s posted some of her cards on her blog at Meandering Threads, under the post titled Postcards and Playtime.
These are an interesting mix of leaves and scenery. These may give you ideas […]
Throughout the years of quiltmaking, the Bible has influenced women and their quilting…in their daily lives and their handiwork. In the History of Quilts Newsletter, we learn more about this topic and quilt block series Judy Anne Johnson Breneman is designing, called Bible Quilt blocks.
I find this web site, Womenfolk, which contains much information about America’s […]

Also, Beth utilizes different fabrics as well. If you’re participating in Take a Stitch Tuesday, let me know where we can […]

At KayeWoodTV.com, you’ll find a wide variety of programs, offering sewing and […]
I’m a collector of stationery, note cards, and postcards, particularly those with quilting and patchwork designs on them. Recently I purchased some writing paper and envelopes with designs by Denyse Schmidt and found it very unique. Then I discovered she has even more designs for stationery, journals, and photo albums.
I’ve often thought about producing my own […]
Those quilters and mixed media artists who enjoy Quilting Arts Magazine and Cloth Paper Scissors will find it exciting that Quilting Arts, LLC has joined the Interweave Press Family.
