20 days. Inhale fear, exhale hope.
I am a quiltmaker. The texture of fabric, the pulling of needle and thread through the fabric, and the creation of a handmade item all make me exceedingly happy. In 2012, I want to make my quilts mean something greater – to make my quilts make a statement, take a stand, give voice to my passion. I want to create works of art that sing with joy, to spread love, to cause minds to open. I will create goodness through fiber. My goal for 2012 is to create twelve story quilts – each with a tale to tell.
Let go of worry, create aloneness
I am letting go of worrying. I want to create a space to be alone, focus inward and get to know myself better.

Let go of old stories; create a simple life of color
I want to let go of "old stories", the way it "should be", the bored and tired blah, blah, blah from my monkey mind. Enough already!
I want create a simple life of color, beauty, joy and peace. No details – just grow stepping stones under my feet…just like the line on a poem my friend wrote for me.

Inhale fear, exhale hope.
In 2012 and beyond, I need to inhale heaviness, exhale lightness. The world is a dark and dreadful place for so many people. From across the street to across the globe the levels of fear are palpable. I want to inhale the fear of the world and exhale the lightness of hope through whatever means are at hand: art, laughter, words, love.
-Mary Walker
