I have a long arm quilting business that I do at home. My DH and I thought it would work well with our ever changing schedule in our family and it really has worked out well! I quilt when I am home and can participate in one of our daily 2 carpools. I also make T-shirt quilts and photo quilts from start to finish. I also teach long arm quilting classes at a LQS as well as new owner classes for frame quilters at the shop. I get a discount at the store, which is a nice perk as well.
To answer the question-do I make a living at quilting? No, but it supplements my DH's income nicely. Since I do work at home most of the time, I look forward to going to teach at the quilt shop-gets me out of the house and I get to see all the wonderful new things that are constantly coming in at the shop! My biggest challenge these days is finding time to sew my own projects and hem DH's slacks! :D
