With her background and love for art history, she designs quilts inspired by famous works of art and artistic movements. From a Starry Night quilt inspired by Van Gogh to Art Deco quilt patterns, Eva brings fine art into quilting in a way that feels fresh, meaningful, and completely her own.</p> <h2 data-section-id="dvuaww" data-start="1214" data-end="1253">In this episode, we will talk about:</h2> <p data-start="1255" data-end="1316">How Eva discovered grant opportunities in her local community</p> <p data-start="1318" data-end="1390">What the grant application process looked like for her creative business</p> <p data-start="1392" data-end="1475">Why niching down into art history quilts helped her stand out as a pattern designer</p> <p data-start="1477" data-end="1528">How she turns famous artwork into quiltable designs</p> <p data-start="1530" data-end="1583">The unique construction methods behind her art quilts</p> <p data-start="1585" data-end="1670">How turning quilt patterns into online quilting courses opened up new revenue streams</p> <p data-start="1672" data-end="1764">What it looks like to build a quilting business around your personal interests and expertise</p> <h2 data-section-id="p6r8di" data-start="1766" data-end="1799"> Listen to this episode if you:</h2> <p data-start="1801" data-end="1872">Are a quilt pattern designer looking for new ways to fund your business</p> <p data-start="1874" data-end="1947">Have wondered if grants for small creative businesses could help you grow</p> <p data-start="1949" data-end="2004">Want to create more unique and memorable quilt patterns</p> <p data-start="2006" data-end="2085">Are interested in art quilts, art history quilts, or fine-art-inspired quilting</p> <p data-start="2087" data-end="2149">Feel like you need help finding a niche that feels true to you</p> <p data-start="2151" data-end="2226">Want to learn how online quilting courses can become another revenue stream</p> <p data-start="2228" data-end="2475">Eva's story is full of practical insight and creative inspiration.
