Title: Help me to support my friend
Post by: ellisr on July 19, 2011, 12:59:48 pm
My friend has just quit her job and decided to set up a small business so she has more time for her son and family. She does some wonderful patchwork items.
Can people pop across to her little Etsy shop and view her items so that she gets a high rating and her items get the chance of selling.
 http://www.etsy.com/shop/SmittenByTextiles (http://www.etsy.com/shop/SmittenByTextiles)

All you have to do is click on the items as though your looking at the details and this takes her viewings up.

Thank you all in advance as I know how supportive you all can be of someone just setting up. :wave:

Her items are lovely, love the pink blanket, but alas I have no little girls to buy for.  :wave:

She did a show with me a couple of weeks ago and had some stuff that I would have bought for myself if I had the money her workmanship is exceptional. She got a few commision pieces requests from the show for single beds (not in such bright colours) so she is slowly getting there.

Very pretty! Will be keeping an eye on her shop - though it could prove expensive  :D

Her pieces are lovely!  I had a go at patchwork and it was not a pretty sight - she is obviously quite talented.  How would I contact her if I wanted to commission a piece?  My sister has moved to NZ and would really like to give her a quilt for Christmas x

Sorry my last message was short.

If you want something special why don't you get something patchworked in like an old fabric item that you both love, remember to book in advance especially for xmas as she is getting busy.

She has just posted it and I was talking to her and telling the exact same thing apparently she is now doing another in blue, I wish I had her patients, I can make clothes but patchwork is a real art.

Becki has popped over and read your lovely comments and was quite overwhelmed by the lovely things you have said. Thank you so much it has boosted her confidence a lot.

Don't forget to keep popping over and keeping her figures up and help her new venture along.

I am trying to convince her she needs to become part of our TAS family as she does have chickens and dogs and loves spending time on my holding.
