I’m thinking pattern design is really what I would like to focus on – I know I don’t want to own a quilt shop because I work in one!

I’ve been living that dream for the last 11 years when I turned the key and opened my quilt shop…from banking to retail…from crunching numbers to counting inches!

Designing clothes for the cosplay community. I do it now for my daughter and myself (yes I cosplay at 58 years old) It is fun! Mary Ann

How thrilling to have the “Sam Hunter Case Study” included in this book! I’ll have to get this book no matter what – thanks for alerting us to its existence.

Having been pushed out of the corporate nest a few years ago during a downsizing phase I sulked for awhile, looked for a comparable job for awhile and finally took the leap and started my own business – a dream I’d had for many years – an online quilt shop. I’ve never been happier but find myself wanting to expand on my dream and take the shop “outside” on the road, vending at shows and the like, ultimately ending up with a brick and mortar shop. Big dreams I never thought I’d have but here we are! It’s time to spread my wings again and fly …

Sam, congratulations in being featured in this book. My dream over the years was to own a B&B. It was achievable for a while money-wise, but life happened. Still a dream.

I’m really contemplating leaving my corporate job and start longarm quilting. I have all the tools in place just a little scared that it won’t pan out. I may need to read this book!

I am into making bags and wallets and seriously considering setting up a small side business. But my background is in teaching which is not what my main career ended up being. So I can also envision doing something that combines my education background with sewing for a fun career later in life.

Still waiting to figure out what I was born for. Maybe bike racing! You inspire me Sam! Congrats!

Thirteen years ago during a rare underemployed period, I started a business that has grown nicely into a full distributorship with retail and wholesale customers and crazy hours. I’ve been working in Accounting and Finance for 30+ years, too. Next month, I’ll stop the outside jobs to focus solely on my business. Nervous? Yes, but I am not the person I was and have an inkling of what I can be. This sounds like an insightful book that can help someone like me.
