I'm still on track with my goals for 2013. It's just a really good thing I allowed for a few detours along the way -- I wouldn't want to fail so early in the year! I kept my goals and expectations realistic. Restoring the Sunbonnet Sue vintage quilt was a fun project.
It's always nice to challenge yourself to something a bit different. I found great satisfaction in the end result. It was a learning experience, and I'm proud that I completed it. Quilting means so much more to me than just mass-producing quilts. It's about the history, the learning process and the legacy.
On to my next adventure, the 2013 Pantone color of the year, emerald. Now how can I work that into my quilting schedule?
All best,

Carolyn S. Vagts
Editor, Quilter's World magazine
