Where Creative Passions Turn into Purposeful Businesses


If you’ve ever wondered whether your hobby could be something more—more impactful, more profitable, more aligned with your life—you’re in the right place. At Authentic Quilting, we believe in honoring your creative spark and turning it into something real and rewarding.


This blog is your go-to hub for turning handmade magic into business momentum. Whether you're a quilter, crafter, carpenter, sewist, maker, or aspiring entrepreneur, we’ve got practical tips, real stories, and step-by-step guidance to help you build a business that fits your passion and your lifestyle.


Explore our five content categories below and find the support you need—wherever you are in your creative journey:

Creative Entrepreneurship Blog

You’ve got the talent. You’ve got the passion. Now let’s build the business. This category is your go-to hub for real-world strategies, gentle guidance, and business-building wisdom for creatives who want more than just a side hustle. Whether you're dreaming of launching a shop, offering services, or turning your creativity into income—you’ll find practical ideas and encouragement right here.

Leadership & Personal Development Blog

Running a creative business takes more than talent—it takes mindset, time management, and the occasional deep breath. This category is about becoming the kind of leader your creative life needs: focused, confident, and still beautifully human. From building better habits to overcoming imposter syndrome, you’ll find tools to grow personally while you grow professionally.

Higher Ed to Handmade Blog

Ever felt like you outgrew your old career (but weren’t sure what came next)? Same. This is where we talk about pivoting—from classrooms and cubicles to creativity and freedom. Whether you’re leaving academia, a corporate job, or just looking for something more meaningful, you’ll find honest stories, encouragement, and next steps for turning your experience into something handmade and heartfelt.

Marketing & Monetization Blog

Let’s talk about the money stuff—without the icky sales vibes. In this category, we cover how to price your work, sell your services, grow your email list, and market your business in a way that feels good (and actually works). Whether you’re just getting started or ready to level up, these posts will help you share your craft with confidence—and get paid for it.

Maker to Mentor Blog

At some point, your creative business becomes more than just you—and that’s both exciting and a little terrifying. This category is all about stepping into leadership: teaching what you know, leading retreats, training team members, and mentoring others without losing your creative soul (or your scissors). If you’re ready to grow beyond a one-woman show, you’re in the right place.
