2006 – Looking Forward
Art Goals:
- Design and sew together 24 new quilt tops.
- Complete 24 major pieces (either newly designed quilts or older pieces that are incomplete).
- Learn to draw by doing the exercises in Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and continuing with the weekly challenges from the Everyday Matters group.
Art Business Goals:
- Hold my solo show in February (postcard mailing, paperwork, the opening, etc).
- Secure 2 new solo shows for 2007 and beyond.
- Continue journaling my art in my blog.
- Do a major redesign of my website so it has the same look and feel of my blog.
- Order new business cards.
- Create a real mailing list.
- Inventory my artwork in a database vs. a spreadsheet.
- Buy a new computer that has the capacity to run photoshop and better organize my online art business files.
- Finish developing the lecture I’m working on “Working in a Series”.
- Secure 1 venue for presenting the lecture.
- Limit my juried show entries to at most 8. Shows must 1) publish a hard copy catalog of the work 2) be a well know and respected national venue 3) be a fine craft, fiber or art show (vs just quilts) OR 4) be a local quilt only show that will result in quality local exposure.
I think my goals are pretty darn aggressive and with little vacation time from work I’m not sure how realistic they are. But I’d rather aim high and miss than aim low and not challenge myself.

Congratualtions on all you have achieved in 2005 and go for your goals in 2006. You are an inspiration!
These ARE aggressive goals, but I love your attitude about aiming high! You go, girl — you can do it.
