"I am finding this book extremely helpful in planning how I can sell the quilts I make. Although I have not decided on exactly what I will do, the book gives me several options from which to choose. Thanks so much, Chuck, for a very helpful tool. "
Susan Birney , Fort Collins, CO

"Dear Chuck,

I have been reading for days and I have to tell you, I am very impressed with your book "How To Start Your Own Quilting Business".

I knew it would be a good read but it surpassed my wildest imagination with so much information. It is easy to understand and a good read.

I also want to thank you for including the 101 Patchwork Patterns. I had the book but lost it in an accident five years ago. There is a large tulip pattern that I really love. In 1988, lived in Englewood, Colorado and purchased a used Dodge car. It was in bad need of seatcovers. I had little money so I decided to make the seat covers myself.

The car was a reddish brown so I purchased some brown material, and some bright orange material and some bright green material. I made the seat covers and used that tulip design on the upper front of the seats and it was very pretty. Later when I sold the car, back to the person I had origionally purchased it from, his comment to me was "I will buy the car back but only if I can have the seat covers to".

Needless to say, I was delighted to have that pattern back and will use it again and again, not necessairly for slipcovers. Just thought you would enjoy that little bit of information.

Again I thank you for such a wonderful book and all the other resources that came with it. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your e mails.

Sincerely,
Doris Reilly"
