Tonight I went to the first yearly meeting of the Berry Basket Quilters. It was a entertaining program put on by the IQ3 (secret quilting code for Industrious Quilting of 3 great women: Susan Painting, Sherry Brown and Debbie Rouse). So glad I got to see their quilts and hear their tales. All of them are very talented and if I can sew 1 quilt block for every full size quilt they have made it would be a whole lot for me.
The reason for my post is that a few of the ladies came up to me and said “wow – great resolution you put in the newsletter” and “oh I am going to follow your resolution”. LOL I forgot what I had even written but said thank you to each one of them anyway.
It all started towards the end of 2009. Carol, the newsletter editor had sent out a message asking us what our resolutions were for 2010. I overlooked the first email somehow but then I got a 2nd one sort of pleading for people to participate. I had been thinking alot about the new year and all the new things on my plate so I quickly typed an email back.
Here is what I submitted for the newsletter:
“Instead of taking away, I decided to add a few things into my 2010. Create more, pray more and focus on Jersey Made.”
Perhaps I should add “keep up with my emails” to the list so I am better prepared for the feedback!
Jersey Made is my business. A retail shop located in the Mill Race Village of Mount Holly. It opened on December 2nd. 100% handmade by NJ artists and a variety of classes too! This is where I am 5 days a week now. I work hard, set up displays of incredible artwork, and creating art of my own in between. Since I am praying constantly along the way perhaps I have been following my own resolution after all.
