I might have to write a post about this. I'm not sure I have an answer but rethinking what the market for textiles might be worth pursuing. Virginia – interesting thing to think about.

David - the corporate world is definitely something I would love to leave also but right now I'm enjoying it. New challenges with my new position, learning to get along with a wide range of personalities. Good stuff. But hopefully not forever! Cynthia - definitely - intention is very important and the think I try to think about each morning - what is my intention for the day. Angela & Diane - thanks for the comment.

When I'm clear on what I'm doing, discipline is easy. When I'm treading new ground or looking to spread my wings, all discipline goes out the window. Fear of the unknown I guess. Thanks for the Campbell quote Lisa. Hope you got your writing done! Also, I love quotes; some that could pertain to this: “There is usually an inverse proportion between how much something is on your mind and how much it’s getting done.” --David Allen, author Getting Things Done "To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time." --- Leonard Bernstein, conductor "Concentrate all your thoughts on the task at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus."-- Alexander Graham Bell, Inventor This is key for me. When I’m clear on what I’m doing, discipline is easy.

Sometimes for me, the thought of going back to a corporate career is great for injecting more discipline into what I'm doing as an artist and how I'm going about it. Hope you made good progress on those requirements... Wow – speaking of discipline… your mention of “writing requirements” sure gave me a little jolt!

Is there a Market for Art Quilts? it has stayed in my mind since I read it. I came across a post today by Seth Godin at http://sethgodin.typepad.com/ called "Changing the Game" And I'm thinking there may be something to that for art quilts. Maybe art quilters, quilt artists, whatever we call ourselves, need to stop trying to fit into the already established art world and create our own.

I try to remind my self of my intent or maybe it's a goal everyday, so I stay on track. I think along with goals or maybe similarly is “intention”.
