Meet the Makers - Barb Tricarichi,
What’s the story behind your company?
Hearts and More Embroidery was created from
my experience in sewing and embroidery.
What are you passionate about and how does that
inspire your artistic creations?
I enjoy coordinating the designs, the colors
and the item I am embroidering.
What is your favorite product to make?
Stuffed animals for
new babies.
What do you find the most challenging on a day to day
basis?
Finding fonts that are what my custom
customers like.
What one trait has helped you the most in your business as an artist/maker?
Communicating with customers during the
design and placement of embroidery on the product.
What do you think is more important, talent or drive and
why?
I think talent is developed as you go along,
so drive and having good resources is key.
What is the toughest lesson you've learned and how did you learn it?
Don’t rent space in a store without doing
your homework. Visit at various times,
talk to the owner/manager and other vendors for traffic and sales in that
location.
What is the one piece of advice you have for other
artists/makers?
Check out any retail or craft fair location
and traffic before signing up unless you think the experience is worth the
price.
