dream on.

Source.

we all have dreams and aspirations, right? things we constantly think about and work hard to achieve. well most of mine involve fabric. :) i thought i'd share some of them with you all -- which is totally and completely nerve-wrecking and exciting all at the same time. i'm hoping that by blogging about them, some day i will be able to come back and say, "see, told ya so!" :)

quilty dreams.

1) i would love to have my name published in a quilty magazine. ok, well i've actually already achieved the name part (and the picture i suppose) in copy of American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine Top 10 Quilt Shops (2006??). my LQS was featured and i was an employee at the time. don't get me wrong, i think it's totally rad but i'm thinking something a little different. like a published quilt pattern. :)

2) along the same lines, i would love to be a quilt pattern designer. and a few downloadable patterns off my blog is not what i'm thinking. i want in your face, real life quilting patterns. you get the picture, right?

3) which brings me to my next goal. quilt market. i want to go to quilt market. not just for the fun of it--like taking pictures with Tula Pink (don't get me wrong though, i'd love that too!). i want to go with a purpose, to buy or sell.

4.) and ultimately, i want to own my own quilt store. the brick and mortar kind. with fun, modern fabrics. it's been a dream of mine since i started working at my LQS at the age of 14, and now nine years later, i still think about it every day. swoon.

so there you have it, my quilty aspirations.

now you can call me crazy, i can totally take it. :) but at 23 years old, i am bound and determined to make some of these (if not all) a reality! so one day i can look back and say, "see, told ya so!" :)

what are your goals and aspirations? they don't have to fabric related like mine, they just have to be YOU.
