This Week in My Business - March 13 2026

Mar 13, 2026

It’s never not busy around here. Let’s jump in.

Top Three Wins This Week

Santa Clara Libraries - taught in two this week and they are excited about a new workshop for their America 250 celebrations.
Global Quilt Connection held an amazing session “Building a Healthy Quilt Guild” with Guild Leaders worldwide.
Held my first 1-1 sewing lesson at my Studio

Been submitting my new and “old” workshops to the libraries again for the next round of bookings.
Taught UV Resin and Mending workshops all over the Bay
Made samples for a new workshop on making bunting (flag garlands)

Finally finished my workshop for the Quilters Life Summit happening April 21-23.
Designed all the labels for the candles, lip balm and bubble bath I’m selling at Craftcation.
1-1 sewing lessons can now be booked on my website. Had two people book with zero advertising so there’s definitely a market for them!

We have had SO many problems with our platform, NewZenler. I would definitely not recommend them to anyone. A lot of support emails going back and forth this week.
Had a very successful lecture for Guilds with Belle Brunner.
Recruited the teachers for the next All Star Sampler Platter - and Guilds can now buy passes for all their members.
Lots of work on our booth and promotional materials for the H&H trade show in May. There is a whole bucket of stuff to be designed and then printed. Have ordered samples of some promotional items.

The 100-day project has me all in my head again. I have such bad imposter syndrome. Which is ironic because it’s something I lecture about.
Did my 2025 taxes! Just got to give them one last check and then submit them. And then pay the tax sob.
Got the Make & Take project sorted out for the San Francisco Guild’s Quiltaway event - happening in two weeks! Expect to see lots of flowers appearing sometime soon…
Charlotte is not supposed to sit on my WIP, not least because of the pins but also because she is molting as it heats up in Oakland. Nonetheless she managed to get settled when I got up to grab a drink, and then looked too cute for me to move her. She knows what she’s doing.
