Ever thought about turning your quilting hobby into a business? Our special guest for today's episode is Robin Jordan! Robin met her husband at "The" Ohio State University and has been married for 24 wonderful years. They currently live just outside the little town of Chesterville, Ohio. 

Robin has been sewing since the 7th grade. A quilted pillow was her second project and she knew from that point on that she was destined to be a quilter. The business started with her buying a Gammill Longarm and parking it in their dining room, working part time to build the business. Robin stated, "This was wildly convenient at first because I was able to help the kids with homework and cook dinner, all while monitoring the longarm as it is computerized." 

Today Robin's business, Thread White and Blue, has moved to its permanent home in the barn across her driveway. Robin says, "This April we will have celebrated 12 years in business. Wow. It's so hard to believe. Most days you will find myself and, my partner in crime, Susan working on all things quilting. We have expanded from the days of the dining room to running 3 Gammill Statler Stitchers with turnaround times of about 4 weeks."

Ever thought about turning your quilting hobby into a business? Tune into our latest episode of Quilting Business Success. Today, we're chatting with Holly Potvin. Holly has been a quilter for 43 years, and a longarmer since 2003. She has made many quilts of different styles, preferring geometric quilts using bright bold fabrics. 

Holly had a freehand Gammill for 5 years before converting to a Statler in 2009, where she ran a successful business till 2016. Life threw her some curveballs that led her to close her business, but she continues to use her Statler for personal purposes and quilting for a handful of friends. 

These days, Holly quilts almost every day. She says, "It is my passion and enhances my life immeasurably. Gammill has always been my machine of choice and sometimes I piece quilts specifically because I want to quilt them with my Statler."
