Rejection
Are any of you familiar with quilter, David Walker? I found his article on rejection a few years back, and refer to it off and on. It makes me smile now. I think we can all relate. :cry:
On a personal note, when I began my quilting journey, my friend whom I took my first class with (and her husband) would routinely remark how my fabric choices and quilts were "loud" or "bright" (you know that tone of voice that says ewwwwww). At the time, I was offended. As the years have passed and I allow myself to be me and create what is inside of me to be created (thanks also to Freddy Moran's encouragement), I have come to an understanding that all opinions are based on PERSPECTIVE. Perhaps most of you have figured this out long agoops: , but when I did, it sure helped me. For instance, I LOVE red! Okay, to some it might be bright or loud, or say "power". From MY perspective, it says "happy" and "fun" and "alive".
I have come to understand that there are as infinite a variety of opinions as there are perspectives, as each of us has a different "come from". I was reminded what we were taught as children, that words DO hurt, and I purposed myself to always look for something positive to say about a quilt (or other creation), AND a kind way to offer my perspective, if asked. Note tongue bleeding here :wink:
I hope this link works. If not, google David Walker quilts; go to his site, click on "Quilts", then link to rejection article.

That was a great read. Rejection part, reminds me of myself with a project invention that I'm working on. I wrote about submitting a project that may be rejected and it's truely okay but have hopes that it doesn't get rejected,I would be "alittle" disapointment if project is rejected. I wasn't planning to get rich on this project idea "which wouldn't be bad"!ops: I truely just want to share this idea with the world. I say it's a win win either way for me because I have my project idea and I Love it. I'm handling my rejection before it's handed out. Why I have no idea really. I believe it's great but I do know thier is better,someone else could perfect my idea project,I'm not the best but my project is great.
You do have to Love yourself and be responciable for your own happiness. I really Love Me!!! :lol:
Kathy has confidence and believes in her project
but this project may not be ready for market,alot of people may have better to offer at this time, I'm truely okay with this.
I don't think being rejected is always a bad thing, look at all I'm learning through doing this. I'm going the whole ten yards and I'm fullfilling my dreams one way or the other. Market myself by tens or get lucky and market thousands.
Jan
Thanks so much for sharing the words of agreat writter.

I love David Walker. After a class with him here in Sarasota, I had a personal realization, "I am an ARTIST!" Following that class I began signing all my quilts on the front "like an artist". He has a way of making you feel good about yourself. Betty Ann in rainy Florida

Until today I never heard of David Walker. I do remember coming home from school when I was very little crying that the art teacher did not like my drawing. My mother being a true artist over the weakend took me into the city. She showed me what art was. I remember we made a day of it. For the first time I seen a Rembraynt, Picaso, and a Monnet. Along with several others of course. She kept it very simple but showed me how the art teacher could have easily critized each one. Yet the were the masters. That is when she told me a trus artist sees beyond the lines. Of course she also stopped at the gift shop and picked up a book on art and gave it to my art teacher. Just to remind her what it was.

Rachel,
Good for your Mom!! She didn't let your spirit get crushed.
When I was a sophomore in HS, the art teacher(she was a nun)told me I had no talent. (The sisters were wonderful teachers but very rigid in their outlooks on life.) Anyway, my retort was that I was going to major in history so I wouldn't ever need art. Gee, wasn't that a clever way to answer :evil: ?
I never told my Mom about it. It was hard enough for her to pay the tuition and I didn't want to have to leave all my friends. I know that's what would have happened so I just buried it.
I had never heard of David Walker until now either. I'm going to print off the article and not rely on my memory to tell me to go to his site to reread it.
The only problem I can see with signing your quilt on the front would be if you tried to enter it into a judged show. Would they accept it? Are there any NQA judges on this site who could answer this question?

Believe it or not I never remember to sign my quilts. Until recently they have never gone to anybody that I did not know. It wasn't until I talked to you folks that I realized the importance of a signature. Kind of foolish now that I look back at things. Rachel :idea:

I am so guilty of not labeling. I do it for our guild show so that I get my quilts back.I've got to start doing it for all of them. Maybe then my son won't put them all out on the curb when I'm gone. Hopefully, my daughter will save them.
