Featured on the Mommy Carpet this week is WAHM Pat English from Juniper Trail Embroidery
Owner: Pat English
Bio.: Former R.N. turned embroiderer.
I purchased my first embroidery machine in late 2003. I started out doing work for family, co-workers, and friends. Soon I branched out to 2 gift shops and a resort in upper Michigan. At the same time, I
started selling some generic items on eBay. Then I got the idea of a niche market for grandparent shirts. Over the past 6 years, I have accumulated a large design collection for my shirts. I sold exclusively in my eBay store until early 2008.
That's when I opened my own on line store. Early on after opening, I met Carla of My SEO Gal. She optimized my site, uploaded everything to Google, gave me a ton of advice, and generally has been an inspiration and coach to me. By the fall of 2008,
my private store was really busy and I closed the eBay store.
I branched out into purses, totes, and diaper bags. These are fun for me to buy and
personalize.
