today I have a special treat….
in the Go Create Inspire newsletter for this month, Sue from Sweet Jane’s is our featured creative entrepreneur…
here is a little intro about Sue…
I started my shop after I resigned from my job as a flight attendant for American Airlines. After we adopted our daughter, I decided to be a stay at home. I find it necessary for my personal sanity to keep busy, and I don’t enjoy cleaning my house enough to fill my day 🙁 Plus, I love to earn money….so I started searching for something I could create and sell (and do at home). As I was perusing Etsy, I noticed all of the quilt pattern designs that were selling their own original patterns. I thought, Hmmm, maybe I could do that? I designed my first pattern, and people really liked it. I continued to design and for the most part, people seem to like my patterns. From the comfort of my own home, I have been able to form my own business and stay very busy!! I am so happy doing what I love!! I have all of you to thank….THANK YOU!!
Sue shared in the newsletter…
One important thing I would like people to realize is that with some time and effort, you can learn to quilt and sew. There are so many great tutorials on the internet, and classes to sign up for on Craftsy, anyone can do it! Please keep this in mind….you don’t have to do it perfectly! Forgive yourself! Try your best but NEVER EXPECT PERFECTION!
Sue has graciously offered to giveaway the following four patterns to one lucky reader!!
a tablerunner
another tablerunner
and then patterns for the first two photos in this post!
a baby quilt
and flowers in sunshine quilt

I will draw a winner on Wednesday, August 6.
Happy Sewing!
