Hi there!
Here they are!
Many of the lovely ladies of craft who I met at the Creative Conference of Entrepreneurs in Seattle this summer.
Pop by for a look at their work and say hello for me.
Later in the winter I will be posting the second part of this post. Kirstyn, Krusty and Denise are busy working behind the scenes getting their businesses and crafty work onto the web - so you will get to see what they are up to then.
(Ladies - if there are any misspellings or inaccurate information please write to me pronto and I will make corrections asap!)

Carolyn's got her mind on blending the architecture of quilting with modern fabrics in surprising and insightful ways. Carolyn's busy making lovely quilts, shams, placemats and now great yoga mat bags (and she takes custom orders!) I love Carolyn's quilted runners.

Emma is busy baking absolutely delicious custom cakes, which will make you sneak back for another slice (I did - Emma brought samples to the Conference, since her bakery is located in Seattle). Emma's decorations range from the whimsical to the elegant. I loved the delicacy of her Italian Meringue frosting and white chocolate cake.

I attended Marlo's class on small object photography at the Conference and I loved it. Marlo was funny, insightful and encouraging and had all of us fired up to go out and get our camera's and photo's into shape. I can only imagine what miracles Marlo could do for your crafty business.
