Goals for 2019!

Happy New Years and Welcome to 2019! 

A lot of exciting things have happened to Quilting Affection Design business in the past year.  Starting off with completing one of my long-term goals of becoming a Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor.  Which as brought me some great teaching opportunities and helped me with the pattern designing part of my business.  I was lucky enough to get Checker Distributor’s to carry my patterns as well. I continued as a 2018 Island Batik Ambassador.  Looking back at my main goals of 2018, such as growing my Social Media, Blog, and Newsletters, Lecture and Teaching, building my business.  I feel they were all met, but there is more room for growth in all aspects.

Now that I have looked back in 2018, its time to list my goals for 2019.  

Starting off with my long-term goals

Building my business name as a quilt pattern designer

 Work with other Fabric Companies

know these long-term goals will take several years, but to get there, I will need to build myself and business with the following short-term goals.

·         Continue to Grow my Social Media, Blog and Newsletter followers.
