Thanks so much for all your advice and input. I will take many of your suggestions. I do plan on joining a guild to gain more information. I've talked to two quilt stores in the area to feel out the situation and got some positive feedback on the local area demand...seems like if I become good at this, the work will be there. still not sure what we are going to do. It's a huge decision, but id really like to start thinking of ways to generate income for when I retire. Thanks again:)
I'm making my first t-shirt quilt tonight and loving it!
