Goals

This isn’t really a blog. It is what the title says, random thoughts. I hope to collect my thoughts once a month and reflect on where my art is going. Right now I am thinking about goals. Last year my goal was to complete 24 quilts. Mission accomplished. This year I am not sure where I want to go. Do I want an aesthetic or career goal? Last year I bought an old Bernina. Where my Juki only does straight stitching the Bernina has several types of stitches. I would like to expand my repertoire of machine made marks. I could start a pile of small pieces and stitch up a storm. This can be a good way to explore and improve technique at the same time. On the other hand, I joined a gallery this year and need to work on self-promotion. Maybe I need to work on both.
