Creative Juices

     Are you like me and have a multitude of ideas and images running through your head at any given time?  I could list at least three current projects I am working on, four serious concepts I need to create, and seven ideas that are marinating.  Of course the top idea on my list today is to start this blog, and here we are!


     But why start a blog?  Because I am inspired by what others have shared with me, and through their blogs I have been introduced to individuals across the country whom I would never have had the opportunity to meet otherwise.  It is my desire to be able to provide inspiration to others, and a place to share tips and techniques I have learned that could help others too.


     Today I've decided to post one of my first quilts, the one that really got me started.  

"Someday"   

     Relying on my sewing background and my friends longarm quilting machine I created this quilt for my then nine year old daughter.  I was thrilled with the results and even won a second place ribbon at the Minnesota State Fair.  But most importantly, I was launched into the quilting world.  I was introduced to the amazing skill, concepts and artistry that has exploded in the quilt industry over the past thirty years!  

     I'm sure you too are thrilled with the breath and depth the quilt world encompasses.  Let's explore it together!
