Today, I’m proudly working on collection number 6 with Moda Fabrics, and I could not be happier with my creative life. It’s such a delight working with color, pattern, and creating stories to connect with my audience through my fabric lines. And it’s been pure bliss to see folks creating beautiful keepsakes such as quilts, toys, and children’s clothing with artwork from my own hand. I’ve even challenged myself to learn quilting and I just adore the process.

Working on my fabric lines has also opened the door to additional opportunities – I have created tea towels, needle minders for sewing, art prints, socks, and quilt patterns … and my journey is JUST beginning.

My evolution as a creative professional has brought me beauty, peace, and tremendous joy. Leaning into the vulnerability I feel and asking daring questions has been the greatest adventure of my life. And with practice, those 10 seconds of courage become easier to take when you see over and over again what magic lies in leaning into your biggest dreams and asking “what if?”

My big dream, when I started this journey, was to be able to buy a farmhouse with my husband for our family and to recoup the salary I once made when I worked for private corporations. I’m so blessed to share that we just celebrated our first anniversary in our new home & I’m now making money that exceeds my expectations and has me well on track to beat my financial goal for myself.

If a creative career is what you desire, I wholeheartedly endorse Bonnie’s portfolio of coursework to help set you on your way. If you have big dreams and are willing to do the work, then Bonnie’s teaching provides a beautiful template for helping set you on your way.

She’s been a friend I’ve kept in my pocket for my journey and I often go back and revisit her teaching to keep myself inspired.

Cheers to your and your own beautiful, creative journey!
