    Hi Kate, I love your energy, and you have great ideas 💡, I checked the pattern for the sew-along, and I like it a lot, but it is very expensive, my suggestion for next time, try to see if you can find a free pattern, fabric manufacturers always have so many free patterns, even Riley Blake have for many years the free block of the month, so just an idea for next time, take care 😊

      @KateHicksQuilts  20 дней назад

      I hear you. I really appreciate you saying that! I do try to mix some free ones in here every as well. Just for reference, what’s a realistic price range for you, regarding patterns? I’d like to choose better in the future!

      Hi 👋
      For me, for just a pattern around the $18 dollar mark. If we are talking about a book with lots of patterns, I would say about $40.00 dollars 😊

    That would be wonderful what they used to call the old windmill quilts but that idea you were talking about putting it all together and auction off and send it to charitable that would be wonderful

    I'm sure there are some hard facts in marketing re Etsy vs Stand alone shop, but I would like to think that whatever platform you sell your fabric on, your subscribers will follow you there. Rifle Paper Co and Moda are wonderful goals to have. Keep us posted.

    Good morning Kate. Great info. I will put the live on my calendar and hopefully remember to tune in! Love the idea of the game and then making one big quilt from all the different quilters…so fun. And I think you are pretty funny as well. Happy new year!!

    I love your enthusiasm and willingness to try something out of your comfort zone. Joining in a live stream is out of my comfort zone (and 11 am MST is 6pm for me (GMT)) but I shall try to join in. I love the idea of a quilt along, but like another commenter, the pattern cost is a bit too high for me (£29 GBP). I’m on a budget and would rather spend my money on fabric than patterns, so tend to not to pay more than about £10 (about $12 I think). I also like the idea of more games (the bundle choice game was fun 😄): I’d love to join in with using the three FQs but I presume I won’t be able to play, as postage to UK will be prohibitive 😢. Perhaps the next game could be one those of us outside the US could join in (I can’t be your only subscriber outside the US!).
    As for the shop, I know that Etsy is milking its shopowners these days, but you probably need to really dig down into how other craft stores handle their own webshops: there may be discussion forums where you can seek advice on that. I love your existing choice of fabrics: seeing what you have and how you use it has made me more adventurous in my own choices. As for carrying Moda, would that mean less space to carry the lines you currently stock? I’ve never been a particular fan of Moda and feel like I can that anywhere else, but your fabric choices are quite individual. It’s irrelevant anyway, since I’m over the other side of the pond and can’t order from you 😂😂, so feel free to ignore me!

    • @KateHicksQuilts
      @KateHicksQuilts  19 дней назад

      So many good thoughts here, thank you! Definitely not irrelevant! Please keep sharing!
      I agree the pattern is a splurge and I will keep that in mind for future. I like your way of thinking, fabric first, then patterns. 😘
      I am going to figure postage out. You're right it's not just you that follows me here from other countries. I've got to head to the post office this week anyways so I think I will stop and ask some questions. If you don't think I'm crazy, HA!, would you email me your mailing address? My email is katehicksquilts@gmail.com Then we can get some definite numbers. I feel like "customs" is intimidating. That seems variable and kind of unpredictable, but we shall ask and see!
      I appreciate your feedback on Moda. I don't think I would carry less of anything, I'd just have more options. My quirky tastes aren't going anywhere. Haha!

  • @lynnlockardquilting
    @lynnlockardquilting 20 дней назад +1

    What's the name of the pattern?
    Coriander quilts( cori Yoder fabrics) shes with Moda .Charisma Horton (Charisma Corner) fabric is Timeless treasures I think. She has mainly solids but a lot more than Bella solids. Both have their own fabric lines. Yes , sale on your own website. Great Ideas.

    How can I be apart of your sew along. I really like to do February blocks with the 3 different fabric. Vintage sew along. Do you sell that pattern?

    • @KateHicksQuilts
      @KateHicksQuilts  19 дней назад

      Nothing special to join me, I’ll just post videos of them. I linked the pattern in the description of this video if you’d like to check it out.
      The game is something different and I’ll have that info in February. Glad you want to play! It will be fun!

    Keep in mind that you will be responsible for paying taxes to all the states. Etsy handles all of that for you. Do you really want to become an accountant? I have heard of many companies moving to Shop. Look into other platforms if the fees are high for you.

    • @KateHicksQuilts
      @KateHicksQuilts  20 дней назад

      Good thoughts! Thank you! I didn’t expect the “do you want to be an accountant” part to hit me so hard. No. No I do not. 😂 I just want to sew stuff. All seriousness, I appreciate your perspective!
