Looking forward to 2010, it is the year of making dreams come true! Not as many sleepless nights - I have been able to put my sketchbook ideas to fabric. Want to know why?
I'm working on a book! I submitted a proposal, last spring, and they actually liked it :) Huge boost of confidence for me! With this book my desire to inspire others to create continues to be fulfilled and the possibilities are reaching farther than I had ever expected! I can't share any details yet, but as soon as I can you all will be the first to know! My deadline is March 5 - so I'm working like a crazy lady until then :)
My concrete goals for 2010 --
1- finish writing my book and creating all the samples, on time!
2- continue the Blogger's Quilt Festival, and do it well.
3- set up a .com for this space.
4- continue to grow as a quilter.
5- inspire others to trust their creativity, and enjoy the process.
I'm really excited about this year - it's going to be a wild ride :) Thank you to all of your comments and emails over the last year - I love how this community supports each other!

I will look forward to watching your year unfold.
I've got a lot on my plate for this year, but come June, I'm going to put my retirement hat on and be home more, so I'll have more time for creativity and progress.

Thank you for organizing the Bloggers Quilt Festival. I'm just a novice quilter, but appreciate quilts and the amazing amount of time and effort that goes into creating a quilt. I admire all of you who are quilting one right after the other. Amazing!
