Informative and inspirational

As a former student of Elizabeth’s (Craft to Career and Quilt Pattern Writing Course), I feel so lucky to have been pulled into her orbit. I have been absorbing her content for a few years now and have grown so much as a solopreneur. I appreciate the way she shares even her most vulnerable experiences in growing a crafty career. If you are starting a business, or already going strong- this podcast will motivate you through all the hurdles! You will be taking notes and seeing the benefits right from episode 1. Highly recommend!
