I've been thinking for a while now about trying to sell my Beach and Tree quilt
patterns through quilt shops (either online or bricks-and-mortar), but have no idea of how to go about this. Has anyone with some experience in this got any advice for me? Do I just start emailing shops, or sending them copies? How are costs/charges worked out? What sort of volume is required? Should I be looking at printing my patterns differently? (currently I print the instructions myself and get the pattern sheets done at a copy place, then put them together myself) Is it even cost-effective? What else should I know?
Speaking of selling, I'm also listing a few more of my quilts on
Etsy - the quilts below will be going up in the coming days. I don't really need to keep them all, and if I want to upgrade my sewing machine, then some sacrifices have to be made! Three of these quilts have been featured in Australian Patchwork and Quilting:
Nurture: 140cm (55.5in) sq, featured in AP&Q Vol 20 No 2
Starburst 115cm (45.5in) sq, featured in AP&Q Vol 19 No 11
Transitions 100 x 105cm (40 x 42in), featured in AP&Q Vol 20 No 6:

Non so rispondere alle tue domande ma volevo dire che le tue trapunte sono F A N T A S T I C H E!!!!!
Ciao
Have you used PatternSpot? That might be a place to start. www.patternspot.com
BTW, can't remember if I told you but AP&Q said they'd publish my pattern - yay! Thanks for the contact. :)
I thought this was going to be about selling your house (based on your FB update the other day) because you found another house with the perfect quilting room.
Wish I had some spare cash - I'd love to own Hush & Brush...
I know this is a bit late, but I've just been reading through some of your posts. I find a lot of pattern designers just email shops with their designs and pricing. You never know your luck :-)
OMg, I LOVE this!! Thanks for sharing.
