Quilting and Patchwork

Quilting Biz - What Do I Know About Quilting & Business?

by Mary Emma Allen on October 31st, 2008

Mary Emma Allen, Quilting Entrepreneur

I’ll briefly summarize why I can provide you with quilt business information.  In addition to operating a mail order quilting business from my home for several years, I’ve written about quilts, quilting, and quiltmakers.  For 8 years I wrote “The Business of Patchwork” for the now obsolete Quilt World Omnibook.  Then for 3 more years, I wrote “Work Patch” for another magazine.

During this time, I taught workshops, gave talks, and visited schools to introduce quiltmaking to students studying early American crafts.

I’ve not operated a quilting business as such for several years, but have continued to write and teach about this topic.  Thus, you might say, I’ve gone into the business of quilt writing through blogging, column writing and with my book, The Magic of Patchwork.

I’ll share this information about quilt businesses with you and hope I can help you develop a business or increase the productivity of the one you have.
