I quit working for someone else and started my own company a couple of years ago. It started out slow but rapidly picked up. I had always made quilts for friends and family, and they spread word of mouth. I also teach sewing and quilting classes and at this time I am able to pay all my household expenses and still save a little. I love it. I will not give away all my secrets to success, but if you are really interested in making a living at quilting, it can be done. Send me a PM.
