Co-hosts Tori and Andi explore quilt pattern design, course creation, digital marketing and the ups and downs of running an online quilt business so that you can make money from your favorite hobby. They share ways they have both grown a business while juggling family and other paying work responsibilities so that others can see how to manage a profitable, crafty side hustle.
Andi learned to quilt when her mother opened a fabric store as a retirement project. She quickly fell in love with all things quilting! She began to offer longarm services, patterns and classes that help quilters of any skill level enjoy, experiment and excel as they quilt.
Tori began creating Quilt Patterns and teaching quilting as a way to afford daily Starbucks. As she discovered how enjoyable and profitable it could be, she became fully immersed! Combining a passion for quilting with a profession as an Instructional Designer, and a Masters in Education, Tori founded the Quilt Patch Course Academy. Here, Quilt and Creative Teachers find support in transforming their craft into a successful course or workshop that is both lucrative and impactful. The goal is to create engaging and innovative courses that keep students coming back for more!
