Quilters receive all these financial basics Plenty of books covers the basics on making quilts, but too few cover how to market a quilt to turn a quilting hobby into a real business. Quilters receive all these financial basics in Make Money Quilting, from creating designs that sell to marketing and promoting quilts and selling either retail or wholesale. While some chapters are more general to small business practices, most are specific to quilting, which makes for a much more valuable guide.
