Another year is wrapping up, and it is time to look ahead to what we hope the upcoming year will bring. When I went back to look at last year’s goals, I realized that I had never made a list. By the time 2020 was over, I guess I wasn’t in a great frame of mind to “plan” anything! The past year did have quite a few very positive quilt related things happen- even without a list of goals, so here are some highlights of 2021 and goals for 2022!
2021 Highlights
- Designing the Endangered Species Blocks to Accompany the 2021 Aurifil Color Builder Program
- Completing my Countdown to QuiltCon 100 day quilt (later titled Emergence)
- Teaching at QuiltCon Together
- Re-releasing several patterns in a PDF version including:
- Creating fabric panels to complement my designs and classes including this stripe and floral panel that went with a post I wrote for Aurifil and these Zoo Family Portrait Panels in the original and an alternate color way.
- Co-hosting Quilt Concert 2021: First Notes with Lissa of Lovingly Lissa
- Starting and sending a weekly newsletter
- Designing the QuiltCon Community Outreach Quilt for my local guild
- Incorporating new-to-me tools in my work including Adobe Rush and Spark (now called CC Express)
- Having four quilts accepted into QuiltCon 2022!
