Do you love to quilt? Do you find yourself quilting for friends, relatives, neighbors, and anyone who is in need of a gift? Are you a member of a quilting guild or a not for profit organization which makes quilts for others such as the military veterans, nursing homes, or poor children in other parts of the world? If you do any of these then quilting is a passion. You can continue to do the above projects and be in business at the same time. If you think about it your quilting business will allow you to do more than doing your quilting as a hobby. Enhance your passion with business ownership which will open more doors of opportunities to meet people that will not only purchase your quilts, but will have you meeting people which can advance your charity quilting interests. Leave your limitations behind you and move forward welcoming new ideas which are excellent fuel for your creativity. One of the reasons many people do not go into business is because of their concern for no money. This is easily remedied. Quilting is an excellent home based business as working from your home eliminates renting a commercial location. One key element of business practice is to keep a budget. This helps you to see how much money is coming in and how much is being spent. Once you start doing business money management is not difficult. You will soon learn how creative you can get about balancing a budget and making money. You may surprise yourself. As you progress in your business you will learn very quickly about other business procedures; much of it is common sense. Because of the charity contributions of your quilts you have established a ready base for customers. People know you. You have established your quilting reputation and they will do word of mouth advertising which will give you a big boost in sales at the start of your business. There is no concern for money for your business; do you see how quickly that problem was solved? Two items to keep in mind at this point of this article: 1. People from the general public will be purchasing your quits. 2. People from your quilting guild and not for profit contributions will be purchasing your quilts. If you do not understand how item two can contribute to your income, research information on operating a not for profit business and you will find your answer. In reviewing your marketplace two major money concerns have been solved: 1. You are operating a home based business eliminating a store front. 2. You have a ready retail market through your quilting guild and charity contacts. Other ways to lower your expenses will include buying wholesale and voluntary contributions from the not for profit portion of your business. In my opinion, you are off to an excellent start in making a transition from quilting hobbyist to professional quilter. Quilting is a passion and business ownership is an income.
