Here are my quilty goals for 2007:
1. CHALLENGE: Complete all 12 each of Fast Friday Fabric and 12×12x12 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!

    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!

    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….
