What our  alumni are saying:

"Working with Shannon in her mentorship program was an incredibly inspiring experience and represents a pivotal moment in my business. Shannon is so generous in sharing her expertise and business acumen, letting us in on the inner workings of her business and helping us strategize for business growth. It was also a great pleasure to learn alongside some very talented individuals and to make connections that will last a lifetime."

Jennifer Walters
Manderley Makes

"This was the very first business class I took. I loved that it was geared towards quilters just like me! I began with the intention of finding ways to expand my handmade quilt business. However, I ended this program with so much more: fresh ideas, a new direction, and the foundational knowledge necessary for building a scalable business. I finally understood what a business could look like and the opportunities it could create for me. I started taking steps to create a website, online workshops, and quilt patterns. Within 3 months I had tripled my income. I was able to hire part time day care for my toddler at the time and really got my business off the ground! Even after four years, I continue to utilize the tools and insights I gained. Although my business looks a little different, if it wasn’t for Shannon and her program - I wouldn’t have become the teacher, coach, podcaster, and author that I am today! "

"I wish this course had been around when I first started my craft career. It would have saved me a lot of time figuring out how to get started! "

Bobbie Gentili

"Great business coaching -- you can recoup the cost very quickly if you take the lessons seriously and implement the tools. "

Carole Lyles Shaw
Modern Quilter Media LLC - Florida, USA

"This course has given me the confidence to go forward with a business in the quilting world. This is something that I kind of had thought about, but had no idea where to start, and at my age did not want to try and figure it out all on my own. Going though the program and working with Shannon has been amazing. Now, I am currently working on starting up my business, with confidence and most importantly know how."

Rhonda Lynch
Sew Simple Quilting Studio - Texas, USA

"This program is a concise, thoughtful map for a contemporary craft business! Incredibly helpful and beneficial."
