START AN ETSY TREASURY???? INTERESTED?
I will choose the items to post on the Treasury and change it at least once a week. We will need at least 16 shops to participate to set it up. You will need to commit to the following:
1. "FAVORITE" all the items with each new Etsy Treasury that's posted. And leave at least one message under each Treasury. (this automatically boosts the Treasury)
2. Add this tag to all your items: EQUILTPLACE. This will make it easy for me to find your items.
3. Optional: "LIKE" TO FACEBOOK if you have a page.
4. Optional: STUMBLEUP each Treasury. (if you use Stumbleup) If you want to add it, it's stumbleup.com. I have been getting extra activity from this site and have had good feedback from other Etsy sellers. Note: Make sure you download the "tool bar" or it will drive you crazy.
5. Optional: TWEET each Treasury (if you Tweet)
It sounds like a lot but it takes about 5 min.
I will start it as soon as we have 16 shops....so if you want to do it, encourage others in our group.....

Jennifer, I don't know what's going on, but there hasn't been a treasury for weeks. What's your Etsy shop? I'll favorite it. Mine is curlicuecreations.com. Great to meet you!

My Etsy shop is:
www.etsy.com/shop/jennfsulaw
I have not tried selling anything quilted on there since most people dont want to pay for the time it takes to make those kinds of things. I can make more of a profit from my baby clothes! I save my quilting projects for friends and family who appreciate the time that goes into them!Jennifer

I understand about the quilted items. I mostly sell patterns of my original designs, and some resale. I do make small quilted trivets and things like that for sale and have been successful selling those. I do not skimp on my pricing of quilted items. I always account for the time that goes into them. I have not tried to sell any large quilts as of yet. I don't know if I could bear to part with them. I become so attached during the making of the quilts.

Hello Joan. I don't think anyone is doing these treasuries anymore. I visited your shop and gave it a heart, and also your Purple Quilt, too. What kind of longarm do you have? I mostly sell patterns and vintage sewing stuff in my shop, Curlicue Creations. I write a blog at http://curlicuecreations.blogspot.com, administer the FB group, Quilter's Show and Tell, and do other social media activities to help let people know about my shop. I also do quilt patterns for the magazines, mostly Quiltmaker. I typically have about 4 sales a month. Not much, but everything does seem to be building up. I don't have a lot of time b/c I am also raising 3 boys. It's great to meet you. Have a super day!

Jennifer, Thanks for the heads up on the treasuries. I have a Pfaff 18.8 with a Qbot, I have been making quilts for many years, but only quilting them for just over 3 years now. I stay pretty busy myself and haven't had that much luck either with Etsy but for the nominimal posting fee I can't really complain. Most of my work comes from word of mouth, and my LQS. I will check out you shop as well. Now that my boys are grown I have plenty of time to do what I love doing. Hope you have a Great day.

It's great to meet you, Joan. I don't know much about the Pfaff 18.8, but one of my quilty friends has a Qbot on her Voyager. She does some beautiful quilting with it. I'm still doing all my quilting on my domestic machine, an Elna Quilter's Dream. I've taken some classes & I've seen improvement in my quilting, but I keep wondering if I should take the plunge and go long-arm. I'm really on the fence about it. I've changed my mind a million times. Good luck with your Etsy shop. Have a super day!
