I do LOVE sharing what I know with others and I love when students have their a-ha moments. It really makes me happy. And yes, yes, yes! Please do a series about how to become a national teacher. I don’t know if I will ever pursue it but it would be nice to have the information.

My friends at the quilt guild told me to enter shows as a way of learning. The judges notes are always very interesting and I try not to take them personally if they are negative. My goal this year is to Enter lots of shows and just get in!

Winning ribbons was exciting in the local fair, entering quilt shows, giving gifts to fsmily and friends. Since moving away from all that was familiar my quest has changed, and my art. The bed and baby quilts have now become pieces of art. I think I am finally doing what makes me happy. Having a gallery display my work and sell it is more than I could ever imagine. I don’t think I will ever want to teach, but I enjoy giving a helping hand when asked. My biggest struggle is a need to learn more and being too far away to attend workshops. Lyric, I think you have made your mark and will continue to do so.

ok – I’ve put it on my list of draft posts – which knowing myself – means perhaps some time in the next year I’ll get to it. I’ve got a good outline though.

I’ve done some teaching but I am reluctant to self- promote, which I think holds me back.

Maye a special memory pushed us into creating, or maybe something someone saw or said. Inspiration abounds all around.

However motivation is different. It is totally from within inspired by our faith. It is the pure joy of the process that motivates me to create. I love to play and most of the time I do not care about the outcome, it is the process that thrills my soul. I am not motivated by competition, cash awards, critiques by others, but rather the joy in being able to create.

My work is often based on environmental themes of the Pacific-northwest. I usually decide pretty early on the purpose of a quilt. Is it an experiment? If so, i feel I have permission to try things without worrying about the outcome. Once in awhile one of these pieces evolves into a show quilt, but not usually. Other times I have an idea that I want to commemorate or share with the world–like the removal of the Elwha Dam, the death of an iconic orca in Puget Sound, the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others–and I set out to make a show quilt. Declaring to myself that I am making a show quilt is good for me–it keeps me working to deadline, and raises my level of workmanship.

Usually I give away the things I make, but I would like to sell them so I can support myself creatively and have money to donate to charities.

I much prefer to just sell my work (although that in itself is a task). It is like the original goal of the impressionists the the late 1800s, to bring art to the people instead of the establishment and salon (or shows). I really don’t think I want to be famous any more, just able to support myself and make beautiful things
