Hi Lynda:
Things are going slow but well, I have been doing a lot of business networking etc. I seem to have 2 or 3 business functions a week to attend (good for getting in touch with what is going on in the community and getting my name out there. I have joined the Women's Business Network as well as the Northumberland Business Network. These networks help one promote one's business. Kinda of like the old commercial "you tell two friends and they will tell two friends" etc. I also started ads on the Radio, a little pricey, but felt I needed to strike while iron was hot and I had a little money to do it.
How are things with you? Are you coming up with new patterns etc.?
I am trying to keep up with my post readings, but don't have more than about 30 minutes to spend on personal emails in a day. I just need to get myself in a routine so that I do have more time.
Take care Lynda, it was really good to hear from you.

Yes Lynda I have met Linda Bodkin at our Quilt Guild last month and this month met Kaaren from Simcoe. Yes I will keep in mind if people want quilt tops machine quilted. Do you have a price list. You can email me if you like. I'm thinking I may have my wall hanging done when it is finished. Keep in touch.

Hey, Lynda!
I was at the Guelph Quilt show on Sat and would have loved to have made myself known to you! I was the one answering some of the questions as well during your machine quilting demo! Not having seen your picture on this site was the reason I missed recognizing you. I was sure I had seen that quilt of yours - To Party - Fiesta somewhere!!!I took a really good look at it! Love it!!! Same as at the St Catherines Quilt show on Friday, I met Elaine D. from seeing her birthday quilt there!!! Now we could have (maybe!!!) said we are on the Hearts and Faces group in here!

That is wonderful about the patterns and the quilt work. Sad about why you are doing the charity ones though. I have my own machine quilting/finishing business and I really enjoy it. I don't own a longarm though, I do it all on a midarm that is dropped into a table so it is flush with the machine. The first year was kind of 'random', the second year I had 5 months of non-stop work and then random again, but this year I seem to have a much steadier clientele. I'm sure that with you selling your patterns as well, you'll quickly have a following of people in your area! How exciting for you!

Lynda,
That is great! How exciting about your pattern! Do you have more in the works? Keep it up, fresh ideas are always needed. Looks like this one will definitely get some interest for sure!

Lynda,
Your work is all wonderful. Just love your applique work and GREAT color selection. Your quilts with the vibrant colors on dark fabrics are stunning. Congratulations on your award - well deserved! Carol

Absolutely love your To Party... Fiesta quilt! Is it paper or foundation pieced?

I know, it isn't easy. A year from now we can look back on this time and wonder what we were worrried about. I met up with the woman from the Welcome Wagon (for Babies) and will invest some money that way. Each name I get cost 3.05, but these are direct links to people who are expecting or have just had babies. I have been getting good exposure in the local paper. So the word is getting out, just need to be patient. You know the prayer. "God give me patience, but make it quick" LOL.
It is amazing the type of soliciters that come out of the woodwork when you are a new business, everyone wants a piece of your business even before it is started.
Keep plugging Lynda it will come.
Take care my friend.
