What is the name of your shop?   
​
JLT Studios
How long has your shop been open?  Since 2009. I originally sold sewing and spinning in my shop. But since 2012 have focused on wall hangings created using traditional rug hooking techniques.
How long have you been doing your craft?  Since 1985.​

How did you get started?   My eldest child was 10 months old and colicky. My sister-in-law suggested I needed to get out of the house a bit. Her mother taught rug hooking classes. No one would take care of my daughter, so we took her with us...along with a baby swing. As long as the baby swing was going she was quiet. As soon as it stopped she'd start to cry. It was a long day or two, learning to hook. But it was fun because my sister-in-law and her mother had a great attitude about the whole thing. And I was captivated by the potential for the craft right from the start.

What do you like about selling on Etsy?   I can reach a wide diversity of people from all over the place. It's easy to list and manage your items for sale. There's support and help if you need it.

What brought you to Etsy?    I saw Etsy as an opportunity to sell my handmade items among a friendly network of people knowledgeable about online selling.
What's been your best Etsy experience?  Selling my large Prairie Sky wall hanging to a woman in Florida. Florida is a long ways away from Saskatchewan. She was so delighted with it, and the Etsy platform ran smoothly for me.

​Is there anything else you would like to share with us about your shop or yourself?  
The work in my shop is all original designs, most of them worked directly on backing without a pattern, and therefore not reproducible. 

I am a juried member of the Saskatchewan Craft Council. I exhibit across North America. I have work in private collections in South Korea, the United States, and in Canada.

I am pleased to have my shop featured by Etsy. Thank you for all the opportunities Etsy!
