Everyone probably knows by now how I feel about being in business for myself - while it's one of the hardest things I've ever done, it's also one of the BEST. I love that I get to make a living being creative, playing with kids, and doing things I love.
Like most people who run their own small businesses, I'm a big proponent of supporting other small and local businesses. It's what our Community Connections idea is all about. To find the truly unique, the excellent service, the dedication to quality, and the mom and pop connection with people who care, look to small businesses!
So I'm happy to announce that my mom-in-law has given in to my endless pushing and taken the plunge, opening her own small business. Her talent: quilting. Her passion: baby quilts! She's shown me a few things about quilting lately (I am NOT a seamstress!) and I have an understanding now of how the intricacy of the quilting she does leads to a top-quality product. There's a lot of time and love put into making a quality quilt that your baby will pass down to the next generation!
A website is in the plans for coming months, but for now she is set up with an Etsy shop to begin showing her work. The link is : StarryNightQuilts Please take a moment to check it out, and pass it on!
Those quilts are just gorgeous! Your mom is so talented, Heather.
