Welcome to the ‘Craft to Career’ podcast with Quilters Candy.
I am Elizabeth Chappell, the host of the podcast. In 2016 I started a brand new business in the quilting market while also learning how to quilt.
Over the past few years, I have grown a following on social media, had my patterns printed in magazines, carried in quilt shops around the world, and am about to publish my first book. I have turned the craft and hobby of quilting into a 6 figure business.
I’m sharing what I have learned to help YOU turn your craft into a career.
In the ‘Craft to Career’ podcast you will learn how to turn your craft into a successful career.
In this episode, I cover:

I just discovered your website and blog, and I am beyond excited! I am a long arm quilter who has decided to pivot (as you said in your first episode) and venture into pattern design. I am SO thankful that you are willing to share your wisdom. I have only listened to the first episode so far, but I plan to listen to them all!

Thanks so much for putting together such a fabulous podcast! I appreciate that you’re willing to share and support others in their creative goals. I wasn’t able to take your pattern writing class when I was writing my first pattern but I’m so grateful for the knowledge and perspective I’m gaining from your podcast!
Much appreciated!

It’s such a wonderful mindset to share your knowledge- it shows such a community and knowledge sharing drive to come from this place. Hi still remember when we met at Quilt Market and love how we are still in touch.

I’m a new Quilter’s Candy member as of last month and I just finished listening to all three of the podcasts. Thank you so much for all the tips and candor. This is just what I’ve needed as a newer quilter and Etsy shop owner. I have aspirations and have been trying to figure it all out but your making it so much easier. And what a great way for us to get to know you even better. Your a gem- thanks for the value you give us in All ways! I can’t wait to hear what’s next on the podcast!
