Turn your artistry into a sustainable business — with the tools, training, and support you need every step of the way.
Â
If you’ve mastered the stitches, built your creative style, and now want to grow visibility, income, and freedom through your craft… Meander Pro is for you.
Maybe you…
- Feel like your beautiful patterns or workshops get lost in the noise, met with crickets.
- Wonder if your work is even “unique enough” to sell.
- Are stuck trading hours for dollars with custom quilts or longarming, and don’t see a scalable path forward.
- Have tried all the “right” things (social media, launches, Etsy shop) but your revenue is inconsistent at best.
You don’t need to hustle harder. You need a clear system — and a supportive place to make it happen.
Meander Pro is the only membership that brings together:
âś” The artistic development of Meander Quilt Guild
âś” The guided creative journey of Art School for Makers
âś” The business training, coaching, and visibility of Meander Pro
Â
So you can create art that looks like YOU, and turn it into a business that sustains you.

“Shannon is the real deal. She has a successful business, but even better than that, she is willing to help others create a successful business. She doesn’t hold anything back. Shannon shares what has helped her find success. She has a natural business sense and a healthy outlook on life. If you want to grow a creative career in the quilting industry, Shannon will help you. She is wonderful and has brought significant results and growth to my business.”
— Elizabeth Chappell, Quilters Candy
“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 from this program. 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!Â

“Before this program, I felt very lost in regards to how I was going to approach transitioning my business from an Art Quilter to a Pattern Designer. Now I have released patterns and been picked up by a distributor. I am working with fabric companies and I feel like I have a path forward.”
— Kaye Collins
"I didn't know what I wanted to do with my business and I didn't have a webpage or anything. But, I did everything that Shannon asked us to do and I am so grateful. I am happy today, I have met all my goals and have set new ones.
