About Quiltsy
I stole this next part from a previous post : )
Quiltsy is a team of quilters/sewers who make a variety of quilted and sewn items to sell on Etsy. From business card holders to king size quilts, there's something for everyone. Quiltsy members are so talented and we have several members who have been published and others who are award winning quilters. If you want something created with quilting or sewing, someone on the team can most likely do it for you. Many Quiltsy members love a challenge and take custom orders. The name Quiltsy is synonymous with quality.

Quiltsy is not just a team who promote and support each other in our Etsy shops. For those who are comfortable with sharing their personal lives, we support each other in the ups and downs of daily life. Quiltsy members are always ready to help each other. If someone has a question there is usually another member who has the answer or knows where to find it.

When you visit the Quiltsy blog you'll find stories about activities we've been involved in, including donating the proceeds from the sale of a bra quilt, made by team members, to Breast Cancer Research. Come on over to the team blog and get to know Quiltsy Team.

When you shop on Etsy, I invite you to shop Quiltsy first. Just type quiltsyteam into the search bar on Etsy. : )

Have a great day!

Evolving On Etsy and A Quiltsy Giveaway

When I opened my Etsy shop I didn't know how to make good photos. I opened with an inventory of tea cozies, fabric postcards and burp cloths. The pics of the burp cloths were horrible. I'm surprised I even sold any. The pics of the postcards were OK, since I just scanned them into the computer and cropped them

My photos are much improved since the kids gave me a camera about three years ago. It took me a little while to learn how to edit them, but now they look pretty good. See My Etsy Shop to the right.

My shop has evolved over the past two-three years. I started making hooded towel sets that include two burp cloths and a couple of washcloths like the one you see below. They have been a good addition to my shop.

I've had more sales this past year than in previous years. That is due in part to a wonderful group of people called Quiltsy Team.  As members of Quiltsy, we support each other and help promote each other's shops.
