"Ronald's Flight"
If you persist-- your vision will materialize.
If you Love who it is for--you will enjoy every step of the way.
I can see that I have come along way since starting this journey.
"Swedish Double Chain"
Given a challenge--I am discovering that is my favorite way to quilt.
I can take a traditional design and put a spin on it.
Using what you have is so rewarding.
Friends are such wonderful encouragement.
"Swirly Whirly Milky Way"
My first chance at rejection--but I came out a winner.
I can play with the big girls.
I am not that bad.
What I have learned from not being accepted at Quilt Con.
After seeing so many wonderful submissions that where not accepted-
I know I am not alone. #quiltconreject #rejectedfromquiltcon
I know my quilts are good-so I won't stop here.
The people that really count-are always there.
By putting yourself out there-so many new wonderful things have happened.
And as I tell my kids! You have WON if you tired!
Here is a wonderful article that is floating around by Latifah Saafir
Till We Quilt or Submit Again,

ReplyDeleteAMEN sister!! :) Your work is AMAZING and WILL get into other shows! Onward and upward :)
ReplyDelete"Ronald's Flight" really catches my eye every time I see it. I love the flow of colors in the "sea" and the quilting. I'm sad it isn't in the show. Here is an interesting comment on the process http://thesillyboodilly.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/accepted-or-rejected-thoughts-about.html I especially liked the shift from assuming our quilts were an automatic No to maybe they were in a dead heat race, but the other won out by a hair. As we used to say in grad school: It takes 100 rejections before we get published.
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment yesterday but the authentication flashed on and off too quickly for me to type anything in when I tried to comment as knitnkwilt. I assume it is a problem higher up at capcha or blogger level--wonder if it has been reported. At least I found I can comment with my google id.
