Blogging has become an important part of many quilters’ lives, as well as numerous other people. It keeps them in touch with others, lets them express themselves and their creativity, helps them promote a business, and makes them happy.

The Home Biz Notes post, My Mother, The Country Grocer, won this round of the b5 Business Channel’s “Apprentice” type challenge, an ongoing 8-week contest, with a different version each week. This week we were to tell the prototype business owner, Kay, a success story.

Yvonne has just posted a list of Popular November Home Biz […]
Don’t think you’ll ever be interviewed? Never say “Never!”
When I was a reporter for our local newspaper and a writer for quilting magazines, I interviewed quite a few quilters, both those who weren’t widely known and others who were Do don’t be surprised if what you’re doing is of interest to a reporter somewhere.
The next question…“What […]
