This is the question we will be asking ourselves before our next meeting!
I thought I'd share a little bit about what inspires me, but first I was curious to read some definitions of inspiration and I really liked this one: stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity.
For me, that's being out in nature! It's walking down a gravel path, listening to the "crunch" under my feet, then looking down and seeing the texture and color of all the pebbles. It's walking past a rosebush and seeing the symmetry of the petals circling toward the tight bud at the center. Anytime I'm near water, I get a rush of creative thought! Be it a stream, a waterfall, a lake, the ocean or a water feature in someone's backyard, the movement of water brings beautiful patterns to my mind!
Funny thing, that while I'm "waxing poetic" about how nature inspires me, I found inspiration for my next quilt in an unexpected place - the Crate and Barrel catalog! It's always fun to be creatively surprised, isn't it?
Please take a moment before our next meeting and post below what inspires you! It will benefit us all to wrap our right brains around new ways of creative thought!
Bring your thoughts and ideas with you to our next meeting and share your creative process! This just maybe the framework for our swap!
Also, bring a pattern idea with you, so we can talk about a quilt-along!
Can't wait to see you February 25th @ 3:00!
