2013 Year in review

I just reviewed my accomplishments in 2012 and the goals I set for 2013.  I’m very happy with my productivity.

In 2013, I made more than 20 quilts, had 15 art quilts accepted into quilt shows, and was published 7 times in magazines.  I submitted a piece to the SAQA online auction for the first time, and participated in the Bloggers Quilt Festival.

I did 4 trunk show presentations and taught 2 workshops for local guilds.  I added a tutorial section to my blog.

Here’s a collage of some of the quilts, and other things,  I made in 2013. 

During 2013, my work was shown in the following quilt shows:

• APWQ Pacific West Quilt Show
• Canadian Quilters’ Association National Juried Show in Penticton
• Cherry Blossoms: A Textile Translation
• The Grand National Quilt Show
• Fibre Art Network – ‘Fibrescapes’ traveling exhibition
• SAQA Western Canada: The Burgess Shale Project traveling exhibition
• La Conner Quilt & Fiber Arts Festival
• Fibre Art Network – ‘Abstracted’ traveling exhibition
• Northwest Quilting Expo special exhibit by Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild

My work was published in these magazines and blogs:

• Art Quilting Studio
• Quilting Arts
• Cloth Paper Scissors
• Australian Patchwork & Quilting
• Quilter’s Connection
• Janome Life

My goal for the coming year is to continue doing more of the same, and to keep it interesting by searching out new exhibit opportunities, and incorporating new materials and techniques into my work.

I hope your goals – whatever they may be – bring you fun and satisfaction.  And I wish you all a happy and creative 2014!

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing what I’ve been up to in the past 12 months.  Leave a comment and let me know what you accomplished in 2013, and what your goals are for 2014.
