MEET ELIZABETH CHAPPELL

Quilterpreneur, Educator, and Creator

I am a Minnesota born girl living in Texas with my husband and 3 kids. If I could tell my 13 year old self I was going to become a quilter, I would have laughed in disbelief! However, a few years ago I discovered the world of quilting and fell in love!

I serve quilters who own or want to start a business in the quilting industry. I teach on topics like how to write and sell quilt patterns, how to grow a successful career in quilting, and more. 

more about my story

My business ideas started early. When I was 8 years old, I went door to door selling homemade mouthwash. Bless those neighbors who bought some, because that early success fed my entrepreneurial spirit. For years I hustled to earn money, from cleaning rooms at a Super 8 Motel (yikes, have I got stories) to delivering early morning papers. But my real desire was to create my own business.

Fast forward to my mid-thirties, when I roped my best friend into starting a business with me. We didn't know what we would do, but we knew it would be something. My friend brought me to International Quilt Market, or rather, I invited myself to tag along. I was blown away. It turns out quilting is cool.

That's when Quilters Candy was born. Around the same time my friend taught me to quilt, we met with a lawyer and opened Quilters Candy Box. Through the years, Quilters Candy Box morphed into Quilters Candy. It turned from a physical subscription box into an online membership. Along the way, I learned how to write and sell quilt patterns, and I now teach others to do the same.

That desire I had as an 8 year old turned into something wonderful. I'm glad you're here. Whether you're a quilter or an entrepreneur, I'm excited to connect.
