Today I am working on a sweet set of quilted Christmas ornaments. In the next few days these little babies will be packaged up and shipped off to explore new territory. For the first time ever I will be including a new label on my product packaging. I don’t know that I’ve ever been so excited to receive a roll of stickers!
Kentucky Crafted is a program of the Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, which is supported by state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. It is an adjudicated program that provides assistance to Kentucky artists through marketing and promotional opportunities and arts business training. I feel very fortunate to have been accepted into the program this year and to have my work acknowledged for ‘artistic excellence’. And I’m excited to see where this goes!
