Who Gets It
I’m Donna—educator, maker, and creative business strategist. After years helping people start and grow businesses (including at the Small Business Development Center), I launched Authentic Quilting to support men and women just like you—makers, artists, and crafters who want to build a business without burning out.
If you’ve ever said “I don’t know where to start,” you’re in the right place.
This Is for You If…
You’re dreaming of turning your hobby into income
You want to teach, sell, or share your creative work
You’re overwhelmed by “business stuff” but craving direction
You believe in creativity, community, and showing up fully as yourself
Whether you're a lifelong quilter or a multi-passionate maker—you're welcome here.
