Amanda chats with Lisa Skinner of Lovering Quilt Co. about choosing to leave the corporate world to become a self-employed fabric shop owner.
Lisa is the owner and head maker of Lovering Quilt Co. Lisa is a graduate of Buffalo State with a bachelor's in Fashion Textile Technology and has a passion for fabrics. When she picked up quilting in 2015, her adoration for quilting and buying fabrics (which we all know are two different hobbies) led her to a daydream of owning her own little online fabric shop. She chats about her transition from the corporate world into being a self-employed and the challenge of staying on top of your business as a solopreneur. They also dive into the changes in priorities as a result of the 2020 lockdowns and what that means for small businesses. Lisa also shares about the challenge of going out of your comfort zone to meet new people, but the "common thread" of quilting keeps us together as a community. And that common thread tied us to you, so please enjoy!
