Open For Business!

After much planning and much sewing, KCQuilts is finally open for business! There is now a navigation bar at the top of the page that you can use to browse around the site, so please do.

I had been struggling for the past year to figure out a way I could continue to remain a stay at home mom, knowing how expensive it is to live in the area that I live in. I knew I wanted to make money somehow, but I didn't want to work full time and, if possible, I didn't want to work outside of my home. Tutoring was a possibility, since I am a certified teacher, but didn't really appeal to me. Several people suggested that I should try selling quilts, since I like quilting so much, and I immediately dismissed the idea. Didn't they know how long it takes to make a quilt and, therefore, how much I would have to charge to make it worthwhile?

But, as I thought about it, I began to imagine just how I would handle a quilting business if I actually had one. And the idea began to seem possible and appealing. I mentioned it to my husband, who was nothing but supportive, and then began researching. And researching. And sewing. And blogging.

And, now, here we are. Only time will tell if I'm actually successful at this, but so far it has been fun. Hopefully, in the future, it will be fun and profitable.
