I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to these podcasts over the last year! There is so much good information shared! I love women helping women to succeed! ❤️ Koko

I love this podcast! Elizabeth is so down-to-earth/real. The knowledge she shares seems so doable and helpful to anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur. Thanks Elizabeth for the time and effort you put into this podcast! Such great guests!!!🩷

I am a millennial mom who has been sewing for decades and started a business as a sewing educator a few years ago. This podcast has been a fantastic resource for me as I navigate the ups and downs of having a “micro” business. I have come across so many bumps and road blocks on my journey and the Craft to Career podcast has been so helpful to me as I address them. The realness of mental health issues, the nitty gritty of making a website and email list, as well as sharing the stories of other inspiring entrepreneurs; it has been so helpful and motivating. I come back to this podcast frequently for the new episodes and for replaying some of the older ones. It’s my go-to podcast for my sewing business. Thank you so much for everything you do to produce such a valuable podcast!

I appreciate this podcast because Elizabeth speaks to her audience with a confident voice and an authentic point of view, as a creator, a business owner, a woman. She is not talking from from some far-removed objective space, but from experience, and brings guests who do the same thing. It makes the podcast both helpful and relatable. I’ll be honest: I am not an entrepreneur and really could not care less about that for myself, but I appreciate the effort that any small business person puts into their company. This energy is reflected in the advice Elizabeth and her guests give. Conversely, I am a quilter and am very interested in the artistic discussions. I also find that some of the biz advice crosses over. When Elizabeth said, in a podcast discussion about competitors, that no one could beat her at being her, she was talking about business identity, mostly, but I immediately identified with this and felt motivated to refine my artistic identity. This podcast has something for most people to learn from.

Listening to the podcast while quilting is like having a chat with someone at a quilting guild. Elizabeth is giving you tips and sharing experiences.

I have great respect for the passion and confidence of those who turn their craft into a career.

Great podcast. Just starting out contemplating how to grow my craft buisness. Found great insights in each episode. Leona

Totally enjoyed the podcast and guest interview. Monique’s nuggets of info are so informative. Thanks for making these podcasts available!

Love this podcast. It’s fun and entertaining, while still giving informative topics.

I found the email marketing episode in particular quite helpful. Food for thought. Thank you!

The strategies and personal perspectives shared on this podcast are invaluable. It has changed my thinking about creating a career.

I enjoyed listened to Elizabeth share her story and provide helpful insight on turning a craft into a successful business.

This podcast has been so wonderful. It provides practical information and inspiration that you really can turn your quilting into a career. It’s going to be hard work and Elizabeth doesn’t tell you otherwise, but she does show you how to make it possible. I love hearing the guests that appear - it only adds to the possibility that Yes! You can do it! Thanks for this great forum!

Love this podcast! Great content!

As much as I have dreamed of turning something I love into a business I’m afraid I’m afraid I’m just not as ambitious as those who succeed. Thank goodness for those that are though that give us so much. I love podcasts that not only share great information but also celebrate and share each other’s successes!

Probably not the point, but this podcast proved to me I do not want to monetize my hobby hahahaha great advice for those who do! And such a sweet host 💕

Well done and so informative!

Great podcast to get me into a creative or inspired mood!

I have been listening to Craft to Career for several years. At one time I was building a sewing pattern business and it was helpful to listen to another woman building a business. I have since stepped away from actively pursing business building, but I still love listening to Elizabeth and her guests.

I enjoy listening to your podcast. I’m a quilter & enjoy several types of handwork. I have no plans to write patterns or sell my projects. I enjoy learning new things and hearing about others successes. Thank you!

I’ve been trying to craft a career for myself and I enjoy listening to the podcast and hearing all the ways that can assist me on my journey. I’m very excited that this is here.

Love it!! Appreciate the authenticity and knowledge Elizabeth brings to the show. I’m not a quilter but enjoy listening to her insight as well as her guest’s advice on ways to run your craft business.

She is honest and love the info. I been listening for a while and i absolutely love it.

Love this podcast! I never miss an episode and especially love to listen while I sew!

The Craft to Career podcast? Oh, it’s my jam! I’ve been tuning in since Day 1 (I know, I know… why did it take me this long to leave a review?!). Every episode, I find myself wondering—wait, is Elizabeth secretly reading my mind? Because somehow, she always delivers the exact advice or encouragement I didn’t even know I needed. This podcast has been a total game-changer for me and my business. So THANK YOU for showing up, dropping knowledge, and keeping it real every week!

This podcast is such an easy listen. If you are crafty, creative, artistic, and want to leverage your skills into a more fulfilling opportunity I guarantee you will find something to take away from this podcast. I’m hooked!

I had to stop in the middle of listening to episode 137 just to leave this review! I first found your podcast earlier this week by randomly searching “craft,” hoping for some direction and connection in my journey of starting a custom bling business. From the very first episode, I was hooked. But today—this episode hit differently. Your message on value spoke straight to me and shifted my mindset in a way I’ve been struggling to maintain. I’ve never saved a podcast before, but every episode I’ve heard from you is now in my archives. Thank you for being that girl! Your interviews are incredible, and I’ve taken so many notes. I’m sticking by your side! -Keiish 💜

I really enjoy your podcast, I am a quilter recently retired,not really trying to start my own business. I learn so much from your podcast and enjoy the variety of topics. Thank you for being so real and sharing your knowledge!

I love this podcast! As an aspiring fabric designer and quilt pattern writer, I love hearing stories and experiences from other creatives. Elizabeth is real, honest, and has great guests either way so much information to share. This is a great podcast for creatives.

This show is phenomenal! I listen to it regularly and often dig through archives to find inspiration when I’m struggling with a next step in establishing a business. Elizabeth has thoughtful and candid commentary on a range of topics. I appreciate her willingness to be vulnerable in sharing what she struggles with, which is so reassuring for me. The guests she has a so relevant, too! From quilters to fabric designers to experts in marketing and management, her guests offer valuable insights and opportunities to find partners to work with on this journey. ❤️

I routinely listen to your podcast and find i learn something new every episode.

Hi Elizabeth, the podcast about goal setting by using SMART goals struck a note as I’ve done this with employees for years. I thought you gave good, simple, easy to understand examples but this method can also be used for big goals as long as you break them down into smaller steps. Example:“Make a Quilt” can be broken down into: choose a pattern, buy fabric, cut fabric, sew blocks, etc. There is one other concept to keep in mind. If the goal is to learn a new skill, then taking a class should only represent 20%, being mentored 10%, and the other 70% should be actions that involve doing the thing you are learning. Example: learn to play guitar would be, take a class, practice 10 minutes a day, ask instructor for help on tricky parts. Thanks for the variety of topics you cover. They are interesting and make me think!

I stumbled upon this podcast, looking for something encouraging and informative to listen to. I quickly realized that God used this to help encourage me to do more in pursuit of my dreams. I love the encouragement Elizabeth gives. Her gentle guidance is so helpful. Thank you for a wonderful podcast that encourages and inspires us to be and do more than we think we can.

I don’t have a crafting business, and I wouldn’t even call myself a serious crafter or quilter. But every week, I tune in to be inspired and empowered to chase my goals—whether they’re craft-related, career-focused, or something else entirely. Elizabeth’s warmth, wisdom, and refreshing vulnerability keep me coming back for more!

Elizabeth’s voice in the quilting entrepreneur space is invaluable. I appreciate the evergreen component of this podcast as a year ago I unfollowed because I simply wasn’t ready. But now! I’m excited to learn from her and implement pieces of what she is saying here!

Yes I am writing the review again because after listening to each episode I have more and more gratitude for Elizabeth’s honesty and vulnerability, knowledge and generosity of sharing it. I wait for each episode to come as I know it will teach me something, it will inspire me and it will make me think and face myself! Not too many things out there can do that. And I need you to know that, having had a privilege to meet Elizabeth in real life this past September (oh Sundance memories!), she is truly as warm, generous and genuine as you think. So whatever future holds for this podcast and your business Elizabeth, I am here for it and cheering you on.

I’m a small business owner (online quilt shop) who is trying to figure out so many things as I just started a year ago. I appreciate Elizabeth’s vulnerability and personal stories. I am one that likes to learn all the details so that I have a gauge as I make my own decisions and she does just that in her podcast. Thank you for taking the time to share all of it. The good, the bad, the hard, the fun, and especially the hope for a future in creating businesses out of passions. Keep up the great, inspiring work! And if you haven’t give Elizabeth a listen, you won’t be sorry!

Just good, honest and open conversations about turning your craft passion into a career. Elizabeth gets real and shares insightful information, including bumps you might experience along the way, challenges, and hope.

I’ve been listening and learning from Elizabeth for a couple of years. Episode 173 was really insightful for me. I will be hosting my first live event in a few months and this gave me some ideas that I have not yet implemented- such as making sure the participants know what to wear. I also attended the first retreat virtually and I can tell you that Elizabeth is so gracious to speak about how things didn’t go well and how she addressed those issues. She is a class act.

Thought it would be a good use of my time to listen to some podcasts on my new adventure. Finally starting my business. Scroll through all the different options, Craft Corner about Instagram. So I thought I would start with this one. When I see those that have been so successful like Nicole Burke, it is super intimidating. I look at all the Instagram pages, watch all the cute little videos, I love it! However, it is very easy to get caught up and “I’m nowhere near that” type of thinking. For now I’m just going to keep forging on doing what I Gotta do to make this happen and not gonna worry about what I need to do a week from now. Thank you so much! I will be listening to much more of your series.

This show features interesting small business owners giving real-life lessons learned. It also has a high production quality, making it easy to listen to.

I’ve listened to a few podcasts here and feel more educated and driven after each one, to work towards accomplishing my dream. It’s nice to resonate with her and her guest speakers that have become so successful in something they love to do, but know that they too, started out at some point, at the beginning of a journey that lead them thru lots of positives and some challenges, which all needed to happen in order to become who they are in their career today. Elizabeth’s story is so inspiring and I’m excited to learn more from her along my own path of craft to career!

Elizabeth has a very unique perspective and shares some great information that I’ve not heard anywhere else. A good listen for sure.

Thanks for this podcast I love the ideas shared here and wish some of them were longer with even more information. However, I sometimes get the feeling that Elizabeth has told the person she is interviewing not to say certain things, like they’re skirting around answering something that came up. Or maybe they are hesitant on their own? Is that just me? I will definitely keep listening with an open mind. I have so much to learn and I’m excited to move forward!

I’m a few episodes in, and love how Elizabeth speaks to the quilter and future businesswoman in me!

Thanks Elizabeth for this podcast episode about focusing your time/effort and energy on the things that you do well and enjoy and delgating other tasks to others. I have had an executive coach telling me this for years with my career in science! Great advice and I like how you provided some examples of what can be delegated out, saving yourself for the more creative parts of your business. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of these poscasts and you cover many topics that interest me. - Susan

Love listening while I sew or the longarms quilt. I am learning more about running my own business for sure. Thank you!!

This podcast is informative and interesting. As an aspiring pattern writer, it’s definitely a must listen. Thank you for being so engaging!

I love this podcast. She is so knowledgeable and makes all of this seem attainable. It makes me want to get out there and start a quilty business myself!

I originally stumbled onto the Craft to Career podcast when Elizabeth was interviewed on another podcast. I’m so glad I did. I listen to podcasts while I’m walking and Elizabeth’s topics are always engaging and keep me entertained. I also really like that she doesn’t sugarcoat difficult topics. I just listened to episode #161. It was a hard truth that I needed to hear. Elizabeth makes you feel like she’s “been there, done that”. In a word, she’s authentic.
