How Will “Back-to-School” Affect Your Quilting & Quilting Business?
This time of year, throughout the month of August, the “back-to-school” idea is in many people’s minds….students who will be going back to school of some type and parents will be involved in getting them ready. How will this affect your quilting and your quilting business, if you have one?
For some, with all your children in school, it will mean more time for quilting projects, taking workshops, teaching workshops, and venturing into areas you haven’t explored before.
If you have a quilting business, either in your home or online, it may mean more moms with time to take classes, purchase fabrics for upcoming projects, take workshops, too. So that means more business for you.
If you work or teach at a quilt shop, you should have more time for projects there when youngsters are in school.
However, will there be school activities that require getting youngsters to and from school or these? You’ll have homework to help with, school projects to oversee.
If you homeschool and tie your schedule to the public school year (as many parents do), your days will become more structured. You may be able to coordinate some of your lessons in with quilts and quiltmaking.
To accomplish everything efficiently:
Plan ahead so you won’t have too many unexpected interruptions.
Brainstorm (paper and pen in hand) about how “back-to-school” will affect your home business and what plans you have to make to accommodate this.
How is “back-to-school” affecting your quilting and your business (positive and negative) and how are you adjusting?
