Building trust with your ideal customer is key! Learn more about online summits in our conversation with Jamie Bright, season 6 episode 7 🎉

02/27/2026

This is the part a lot of quilting business owners miss.

Summits aren’t just “exposure.”
They’re a shortcut to trust.

You get real time to teach, connect, and let people hear you… and that’s what turns a casual viewer into someone who actually remembers your name, joins your list, and comes back for more.

If you’ve been trying to grow by only posting onsocial media, this clip is your reminder: sometimes the fastest growth comes from stepping into a room that already has the right people in it.

Connect with Jamie - and if you’re curious what that looks like in action, the Quilters Paradise Summit is happening March 9th–16th.

She started quilting at 10 years old… with two-inch squares and pure determination.

And now? Jamie Bright is running a thriving quilting business built around one pattern that started as play.

In this episode of Quilting on the Side, Jamie shares:
✨ how the Luminary Quilt took off
✨ how COVID wiped out her photography marketing business almost overnight
✨ why she pivoted (again) into quilting
✨ and how summits helped her get in front of tens of thousands of quilters

One of the biggest takeaways?

When you market what you already have… it can grow.

Jamie didn’t create something brand new.
She put intention and strategy behind something that was already working.

And her deep dive on collaborations and summits? Basically a mini masterclass inside the episode.

If you’ve ever wondered:
– How do I grow my audience faster?
– Are summits actually worth it?
– How do I turn exposure into real sales?

You’ll want to listen.

Tori shares how her business has changed! Listen to the full story on Season 6 episode 6 of Quilting on the Side.

Rebranding is about clarity.

In this clip, Tori shares why she officially retired The Quilt Patch by Tori and stepped fully into Hey Tori .tech , her digital marketing coaching business for quilters and creative entrepreneurs.

She was still holding onto patterns.
Still straddling two identities.
Still trying to do it all.

And she realized she needed to choose.

Now her focus is clear:
✨ Digital Marketing Magic Coaching (DMMC)
✨ The Self-Publishing Incubator
✨ Coaching full-time
✨ Quilting… for fun again

The rebrand wasn’t about starting over.
It was about owning who she had already become.

Listen to the full episode of Quilting on the Side for the whole story.

Andi said something I think a lot of pattern designers need to hear:

You don’t have to have something new all the time.

In this clip, Andi talks about stepping off the “constant creation” hamster wheel and leaning into what she already has - her existing quilt pattern library - by freshening it up with new fabric, new colorways, and new seasonal inspiration.

Because let’s be real…
Sometimes the most sustainable move isn’t making more.
It’s marketing what’s already good.

We talk more about pacing, expectations, and what a real side hustle looks like in this episode of Quilting on the Side. Listen on your favorite podcast platform now!

“Do you ever regret going into quilting as a business?”

This question hits different when you’ve been doing it for a while.

Because the truth is… most of us have had moments where we’ve wondered:

“Is this worth the effort?”

“Should I just let it be a hobby again?”

“Why does it feel like I’m always putting myself out there?”

Andi’s answer is so honest (and so relatable).
No fluff. No pretending it’s always easy. Just real perspective from someone who’s been doing this a long time - and is still choosing it.

If you’ve been in a season where your energy is lower, your pace is slower, or your business doesn’t look like the “full-time dream”… you’re not doing it wrong.

Sometimes the win is staying in the game in a way that fits your life.

Season 6… and we’re creeping up on 100 episodes. How is that even real?

We recorded a “reintroduction” episode because two things are true:
1. Our audience has grown (hi - so glad you’re here)
2. We have grown too

When we started Quilting on the Side, life looked different.
Sleep deprivation. Full-time jobs. Big ideas with tiny pockets of time.
What’s changed in both of our businessesss and life - still building, still learning, still figuring it out… just with a little more clarity (and a little more sleep).

In this episode, we share:
+ What’s changed in both of our businesses
+ What we believe now about building a quilting business while juggling real life
+ What we believe now about building a quilting business while juggling real life
What’s changed in both of our businesses and life - still building, still learning, still figuring it out… just with a little more clarity (and a little more sleep).

If you’ve been evolving too (your offer, your pace, your priorities)… this one’s for you.

Get excited! 🎉

In this clip, Andi asks when Tori recommends capturing marketing content - and the answer might surprise you.

Tori shares that the best time to create content is in the moment, when you’re excited and already deep in the project. That energy makes it easier to grab photos, short videos, and process shots that later become powerful marketing tools.

Instead of waiting until the project is finished (and your excitement is gone), documenting along the way turns marketing into something supportive—not draining.

This clip is just one piece of a larger conversation where Andi and Tori break down digital marketing basics for quilting businesses and how all the pieces work together.
