Networking throughout the quilting world enables you to meet and know people globally. Due to the Internet, you can reach many more people than your grandmother did at her quilting bees.
The b5Business Channel, where I write Home Biz Notes, collaborated on a collection of posts about this topic.
I think you’ll find the many views on networking interesting and informative. You can […]

FRIDAY FEATURE
If you have a quilting business or shop (online or walk-in), do you feature specials or an attraction one day a week…or month? Do you look for these specials where you shop?
As I browse the mail coming to my e-mail box, I’ve noticed, over the course of time, that Fridays seems to be a […]

I’d like you to consider something unique for quilters…dressing in “character.” If you wear or use some of your wares, you’ll draw attention to your work, whether you have a quilting related business or are someone who likes to create and quilt.

E-cards and postcards…do you use them for quilting friends and customers (if you have a business)? A discussion evolved about this at a blog I read regularly.

What quilter doesn’t love to hear about quilts and share his/her knowledge, too? When I’m ask to speak to groups, whether adults or children, I feel a thrill that someone wants to hear what I have to say about my quiltmaking adventures and heritage.
It’s the same with writing […]

Karen, at b5media’s new blog, Pink Ribbon Review, in the Science and Health Channel, mentions her enjoyment […]

Looking for that “Wow” factor, that something extra that makes your quilting and fabric art stand out from the rest, sometimes can be like seeking an elusive treasure on a scavenger hunt. However, there you usually have a map or clues to guide you.
Perhaps you’ll find some clues from the bloggers at the b5media Business Channel. For their Theme Day they […]

A big THANK YOU to all my readers for being patient and sticking around during the technical difficulties we’ve encountered at b5media the past couple of weeks. The Internet and blogosphere, like amost anything you’re involved with, can be affected by situations beyond one’s control.
For instance, where I live in New Hampshire (USA), we’ve encountered blizzards and […]

“Don’t toot your own horn,” Mother often cautioned us. She called it bragging when we told others about our achievements. She was proud of us when we received recognition, but the general feeling was to downplay it. Mother felt it was for others to spread the word. That was somewhat the practice of the era when […]
