A quick look back-2023
2023 was a busy year for me. In some ways too busy, which precipitated some changes latter in the year and more changes coming in 2024.
Continued involvement in my local guild. If you know me at all you know I am a real advocate of local guilds, if you are not part of a guild I urge you to join one. IF you are part of a guild I urge you to get involved, don’t be a passive member, be an active one. Your life will be better for it.
Quilting for others!—in my list of top things I love to do.
Presented at Guilds
Taught EQ8 beginner classes (X3)
Attended EQ8 Academy and took advanced classes
Teaching Handi Quilter classes at stores —too many to list
Taught at Canada Quilt Academy in Edmonton—what a blast!
Working at shows, including New England Quilt Expo, Quilt Canada, Festival of Quilts Birmingham, and AQS Grand Rapids.
Spent five days at sea learning and growing with my Handi Quilter Family.
Concentrated my first half of the year working with retaielrs across Canada with staff training, new product implementation and general growth.
Concentrated some time assisting a local store set up and establish their long arm rental program
That’s just my work list. It doesn’t include the two times I caught co-vid this year. A personal best for a 55 km bicycle ride. Joined a riding club for the social aspect. Lived the last three months of the year with our apartment torn up due to a super expensive plumbing repair and the list of generally being too busy, too cluttered and too torn in many directions can go on and on.
This has all led to some great changes coming for 2024. Stay tuned. I’ll share those with you very soon.
In the meantime, have a great end of 2023. See you in 2024 for lots of fun interaction.
