This week, I’m joined by Jamie Bright of Craft a Dream, and this conversation is such a treat. Jamie is a sharp businesswoman with a real gift for marketing, and her path into quilting is not the one you might expect.
Before entering the quilting world, Jamie built valuable business experience in another field. When quilting found its way into her life, she brought those skills with her and used them to create a thriving, self-sustaining quilting business.
In this episode of the Craft to Career Podcast, Jamie shares practical strategies to help you grow your quilting business. We talk about building an email list, hosting successful virtual summits, and finding ways to earn more from every quilt pattern you create and sell.
What I love most about Jamie’s advice is that it reaches far beyond quilting. Her experience in marketing, audience building, and business growth offers helpful lessons for nearly any creative entrepreneur.
If you have ever wanted to turn your quilting passion into a steady, sustainable business, this episode is for you.
