So, I'm an entrepreneurial type of person. I've always thought of owning my own company, even a small one, while working a regular job for health benefits. And now that the quilting bug has not only bitten me, but has become imbedded into my soul, I am thinking of trying to sell. There is a craft show locally, every spring and fall, where you have to be juried to get in, but the crowds are enormous. I am thinking of investing my time and sewing into making small quilted items, and seeing if I get in. The jury fee is only $20 so I'm not out much if I don't get chosen. So far, I'm thinking of wine bags, tote bags in four sizes, placemats, napkins, coasters, potholders, tree skirts, table runners, and wall quilts, no bed size anything, as I only have a domestic machine. Most everything will be fall or holiday related. Plus, NYS is very simple for setting up an LLC, I can handle the paperwork myself, and the tax forms are a cinch for me.

Can I get some wise people to give me advice, ideas, etc? Would you sell? And for a show that is heavily attended and advertised, how many items would you make? And what price would you put on items?
