Well-known in US professional quilting circles for her award-winning designs and superior craftsmanship, in October 2006 Patsy Thompson decided to take the leap from course instructor to content-creator. The launch of Patsy Thompson Design Ltd.’s online presence included an in-depth blog for quilting enthusiasts, free sample patterns for download, and extensive image galleries. The site also allowed visitors to purchase the company’s instructional DVDs which star Ms. Thompson demonstrating her techniques and advice.

By May of 2007, after a six-month rush of both retail and wholesale sales, it became clear that demand for the instructional DVDs was outstripping the flexibility of the existing lightweight eCommerce solution. Patsy Thompson Designs, Ltd. turned to Sparktivity for assistance with building a more flexible eCommerce platform which would allow all the security, convenience, and ease-of-use of a modern web store. With the new eCommerce platform successfully in place, Patsy Thompson Designs, Ltd. can invest less administrative time on the complexities of fulfillment, and put more focus on developing further creative offerings for their customers!
