How The Quilt Ladies Started
bethanndoing.com
It seems like a dream, but it's happened !
14 years of My Quilt Ladies !
The Quilt Ladies idea came to me about 1995. I was working
at the Sioux City, Iowa, Public Library and a mother of a little girl came up to
me and asked, "Do you have anything like this for me?" she was
holding up a popular children's book, that is presented in a series way. Our library had nothing. For days after she
left I had it in my head. I could do it. I love writing and I love quilting. I
put them together and what I have is The Quilt Ladies Book Collection.
On the Left: First book,
printed in 2000 at home.
On the Right: taken to copy editor, book designer and a printer
I sold the first 3 titles (as on the left) of The Quilt
Ladies Collection at quilt show, craft fairs, any place that I thought they
would sale. Added books one at a time.
So, HERE I am.....14 years later, 12 of "The Quilt Ladies Books" and the Quilt pattern Books, "Little Quilt Ladies"
The Best Kind of DREAM, they do come true !
~ Thank you all for your support and friendship ~
It would have never happened without you !
Again, Thank you !
If you have a DREAM
DREAM HUGE and START NOW!
Nothing happens overnight or even over months, but start !
Start dreaming, start savings,
start hoping, start planning and enjoy the process.
If I can do it, you can.
