I’ve had a Big Cartel shop for many years, but it has been seen by very few people and I’ve never had a sale there. In fact, it’s been on maintenance mode most of the time. However, I’ve recently been debating a switch from Etsy to another platform and Big Cartel is one that works for many artists I follow. I am still using the free version which only allows for 5 listings, so I have restarted it with the five quilts you see here. I will be keeping my Etsy shops for now and probably will continue to use them in the future for certain items, but costs at Etsy are really killing me (especially for more expensive items) and as time goes by it gets harder and harder to be noticed there.
Four of these quilts have never been offered for sale before. As a prolific quilter over the years I find that it gets harder all the time to figure out where to store my quilts. I decorate with many of them, but still, I have overflowing closets. So, it’s time to let some of them go. If I do in fact sell one or two I have more to add to the shop to keep it at full capacity (with 5 listings). If you are so inclined, the shop link is now under SHOP at the top of my website and there’s a button at the end of this post.
If you seem to remember that Shoofly sold a while back, that’s because it did sell. However, it was returned because the buyer thought it had a white background from the photos. In fact, that is a taupe background.
