seven for 2007

Here are my quilty goals for 2007:
1. CHALLENGE: Complete all 12 each of Fast Friday Fabric and 12x12x12 Portfolio challenges, and finish at least half of them on time.

2. ENTER: Submit my work to 2 quilt shows, contests, or other exhibition venues.
3. FINISH: Finish at least 3 UFOs.
4. GIVE: Complete and give 6 handmade gifts.
5. LEARN: Learn to do real hand-quilting, use the Clover needle felting tool, and Shiva paintsticks.
6. TEACH: Develop and teach 4 different classes.
7. WRITE: Write 1 article and submit it to a suitable quilt magazine for publication.

I scaled the requirements back somewhat in deference to my one resolution:
Be balanced.
Be healthy but not fanatical…
Not too messy, not too neat…
Work hard, but also play, etc.

In reality though, the goals do overlap a lot. Any of the pieces I complete can be used as gifts, the basis for a new class, or a show entry; a class outline can be rewritten into an article, and so on.

have a creative and productive new year!

  1. Those are definitely great goals. I like the thought about balance. Instead of trying for perfection, it is more realistic to strive for continuous improvement.
    Happy New Year!

  2. Great goals you have created. I need to get busy and make a few for myself.

    I really like your snowflake from your earlier post.

  3. Your list actually helped me put into words what I wanted to go on my list the other day.

    I also like your resolution. I may have to borrow it….
