Why I opened a fabric shop.
Join me as I describe my journey to open and run a fabric shop, specializing in quilting arts. The difference is, my shop is in my own home! While it does present some challenges, it’s a great option while leasing retail space is not an option. In life, the ability to pivot, redirect and move forward is key!
