Day 12: A Goal Reached!

Goals keep us focused and motivated even when they seem a bit too far off.  I feel it is good to have attainable and 'unattainable' goals because you really just never know!! Plus when one goal is achieved, you have to set a new further goal.

Years ago I wanted to be published and I meant a book but I started with a magazine and then another and another.  It challenged me.  When my book was rejected multiple times it hurt but I kept submitting to magazines.  I still love getting into magazines and this year I hit the jackpot..."Robin's Wreaths" was chosen to be the series quilt in AQ Magazine.  What an honor!! You can read more about it HERE.
The very first issue I shared the cover with Jane Sassaman!!

This past June the magazine hit the shelves and I started my first Facebook Group, "Robin's Wreaths, AQ Magazine" so that I could make some videos to walk quilters through some of the background tips for creating this lovely piece.

This week the 4th installment will be out on shelves and I am in this magazine alongside Kathy McNeil!  It has been quite an honor to share pages with Amazing Artists!!

GOAL REACHED!

What is next?  Good question and I have a few things on my list.  Not sure if I should put them out into the universe here or keep plugging away quietly until I get what I want:)

I do know that more teaching is on my list.  Being in a room full of quilters sharing our passion is one of the greatest feelings!

Applications to bigger shows are being assembled.
