Juggling Your Quilting Business with a Family
Juggling a quilting business or an outside-the-home job with family presents a challenge to any mom, However, when one has triplets, the challenge may present even more situations to cope with. Although Mary Beth Stevenson, doesn’t have a quilting business, we all might take an example from her if we want something that will enable us to be an at-home mom (or dad). She already had her home business up and running when her triplets arrived. Working from home at her designing business appears to have worked well for her. This wasn’t simply a whim, “What do I do now?” when she found she was going to have triplets. She and her husband decided they wanted her involved in a home business before they were married, so she began developing one then. This may be a great suggestion for anyone who thinks they would like to work at or from home. Start planning now, before you really need the business. Or, if you’re already involved in quilting and fabric arts, take this time to plan on organizing for efficiency, expansion, and enjoyment.

What do you need to start quilting, what kind of needle, scissor, what type of materials, etc….

Yes, that truly would be a juggling act, keeping up with three babies/toddlers, or whatever age they grow to be. I’ve had a house full of youngsters from one year to 12 years when I’ve held “camp cousin” (grandkids, grand neices and nephews) at our home and tried to keep up with my work. But that was only for a day.
