Simple Threads Offers Quilting Goods & Services
As a member of a quilting guild, that visited quilting shops in a tri-state area, Janet Carnahan decided her inspiration was to own her own shop. She wanted to offer quality products and services in a warm, comfortable, friendly, atmosphere. Having a background in management and wanting to be her own boss, she contacted Mary Beth Votava at the SBDC in Minot to help make her inspiration come true. Janet worked with Mary Beth, Regional SBDC Director in Minot and Denise Hendrickson, an SBDC Business Consultant in Devils Lake. With their assistance a business plan was drawn up and a loan was secured. Janet said "Because of SBDC consultants helped with my business plan and helping me reach an amount the bank was willing to loan, I was able to open Simple Threads Quilt Shop, in Rock Lake, ND, in October of 2003." "From the first visit, I always felt the SBDC consultants were there to listen and advise me while not being so negative that I would give up."
