THE CONFIDENCE...
Thank you so much Elizabeth for your guidance, encouragement, and mentorship. Without you, I wouldn't have had the confidence to start my pattern business and online membership. You are an amazing person!

CRAFT TO CAREER COURSE
Hi friend, I’m Elizabeth Chappell—sour jelly belly addict, Harry Potter fan forever, mama to three adorable humans—and I guess you could say that I have been an entrepreneur since childhood. Growing up I started doing my own business by selling drawings and *gasp* homemade mouthwash to my neighbors. Thankfully my business skills have developed since then.
Everything changed when I met a friend and we dreamed of starting a business together.Unbeknownst to me, her mom was a well-known quilter and fabric designer. As any good friend does, I invited myself to Quilt Market to see what her mom’s business was all about. I instantly fell in love with the relevant designs, the fabrics, and modern quilts that I never knew existed!
Suddenly, I realized that the business I wanted to create needed to be in this amazing world of fabric and quilts.Along with my friend, I taught myself how to create quilt patterns within a matter of months, started a subscription box for quilters, and…the rest is history.
Since then, Quilters Candy turned into a thriving, multiple 6 figure business. One of my favorite things is offering this course to business creatives. If you know that you have a business idea and you want to be in a safe, supportive, and fun community of entrepreneurs, plus get hands on lessons from me that will shape your business for success, I would love to have you join me in the Craft to Career Course!
In this course,
you'll get access to...

Most entrepreneurs are surprised to learn that the biggest thing holding them back is their beliefs and mindset. This week we focus on tangible practices to help with your mindset. Learn to believe and expect success.

Elizabeth – you are a gifted business leader!

I KNOW YOU YOU MIGHT BE wondering...
Do I really need to take a course when I could Google what to do? Or just jump in and try?
In the Craft to Career course, you have ALL you need to know organized into manageable lessons — all in one place. And just like learning anything in life, it’s always better to have a REAL person who can answer your questions and give you help.
Starting a new business can feel lonely and a bit scary. If you could have someone who is in your corner who’s been where you have been, has built a successful business, is cheering you on, and sharing all they’ve learned with you, wouldn’t you want that?
You have an incredible opportunity to be a part of a community that gets you—and wants to keep growing and evolving with you—all with the help of a teacher who can share what you need for success.
THE COURSE IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF...
You’re open to implementing the things I teach
You want to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs
You are ready to grow your business
Nodding along and saying, “YES, that’s me Elizabeth?!”
HOWEVER THIS COURSE IS NOT FOR YOU IF...
You are threatened by others’ success
You aren’t ready to work
You aren’t willing to try the things I share with you
take a look at the
friendship and support
This is a screen shots of a conversation from a past Craft to Career Course group.
Because entrepreneurs don’t need to do it alone.And just like surrounding yourself with supportive friends outside of business, now you’ll have business friends who are with you while you grow, learn new skills, and see success with your business.
You have a business that you are passionate about, and not a lot of people around you get it. Here, we get you.
