[1]Dear Quilting Enthusiast,
If you've ever thought about starting and running YOUR OWN
SUCCESSFUL QUILTING BUSINESS _--_ while AVOIDING SOME OF THE MOST
COMMON MISTAKES made by business newbies _--_ _and_ USING SOME OF THE
MOST POWERFUL MARKETING TECHNIQUES available, then this might be the
most important letter you'll ever read.
HERE\'S WHY:
Over the years, I've received a ton of feedback from readers of my
_QUILTING BIZ EMAIL LIST_. Many of them don't want to start a machine
quilting business or quilt shop because of the money required, or they
just want to create a part-time income from their quilting. Instead,
they ask me QUESTIONS LIKE...
"HOW DO I SELL THE QUILTS THAT I MAKE?"
"CAN I MAKE MONEY SELLING MY QUILTS ON EBAY?"
"ARE CUSTOM QUILTING SERVICES IN DEMAND?"
"ARE T-SHIRT AND PHOTO QUILTS MARKETABLE?"
"HOW CAN I GET STARTED IN MY OWN QUILTING BUSINESS?"
INTRODUCING MY NEWEST QUILTING BUSINESS BOOK...
"_HOW TO START YOUR OWN QUILTING BUSINESS_"

will do, the book gives me several options from which to choose.
Thanks so much, Chuck, for a very helpful tool. __"_
SUSAN BIRNEY , FORT COLLINS, CO
_"_Dear Chuck,
I have been reading for days and I have to tell you, I am very
impressed with your book "_HOW TO START YOUR OWN QUILTING BUSINESS_".
I knew it would be a good read but it surpassed my wildest
imagination with so much information. It is easy to understand and a
good read.
I also want to thank you for including the _101 PATCHWORK PATTERNS_.
I had the book but lost it in an accident five years ago. There is a
large tulip pattern that I really love. In 1988, lived in Englewood,
Colorado and purchased a used Dodge car. It was in bad need of
seatcovers. I had little money so I decided to make the seat covers
myself.
The car was a reddish brown so I purchased some brown material, and
some bright orange material and some bright green material. I made the
seat covers and used that tulip design on the upper front of the seats
and it was very pretty. Later when I sold the car, back to the person
I had origionally purchased it from, his comment to me was "I will buy
the car back but only if I can have the seat covers to".
Needless to say, I was delighted to have that pattern back and will
use it again and again, not necessairly for slipcovers. Just thought
you would enjoy that little bit of information.
Again I thank you for such a wonderful book and all the other
resources that came with it. Keep up the great work. I look forward to
your e mails.
Sincerely,
Doris Reilly_"_

information relating to "starting my own quilt shop" - I nearly fell
