I’ve been getting a good amount of visitors to both sites lately, so I just can’t understand why I’m not getting any sales or why more people aren’t leaving me comments on my blog. I’d really like some comments. I need the encouragement, motivation and inspiration. Having slow sales can really discourage a crafter and make them not want to continue making stuff. I just want people to like the stuff I make and enjoy it all. But if no one buys anything, it makes you think that no one likes it. But I had people telling me all day at the craft show last weekend that my quilts are “beautiful”, “adorable” and telling me “Great job!” or “I love this one!” but no one bought any. Are my prices too high? I’ve lowered the price on a few of the quilts already. I think my prices are reasonable. I’ve looked up other quilts on Etsy and I think my prices are much lower than some others.

Please leave me some comments, good or bad. Tell me what you really think about my blog and my Etsy shop. What you think about the stuff I make and my prices… etc. Do you have any ideas of other things I should make?

I really need the feedback!

Thanks so much!

Also I need to ask for some advise again, and I need it as soon as possible. I have been making new pot holders the past few days to sell at the aforementioned craft show next weekend, and don’t know which way I want them. When I first began making pot holders, I just tied a knot in the middle with embroidering floss instead of “quilting” them. I tried quilting a stitch around the inside of one the other day and like the way it looks. Now I’m not sure if I want to make all the new ones like that from now on, or like the ones I was making before. I sold all but three of the old version at my yard/craft sale last month, so I kind of know some people liked them the way they were, but they haven’t been selling in my etsy shop, so I don’t know if I should change them.

This is where you come in… Do you like the old one or the new one better? Please let me know.
