Looking for Inspiration...

It's been a few months since I've had the time to sit and write about what has inspired me to create, or what I would like to create.  I've been in a drought, creatively speaking, that is.  So today's post is about simply looking at things we might see that could inspire us in quilting, such as shape, color, and design.  I decided to look at everyday things around me like.........someone's pair of embroidered boots.......thought these were pretty cool.......



The grace of a beautiful ballerina perhaps.......that's my niece Alex practicing for a performance.....


Maybe a stack of trays from the local bakery....nice colorful pastries....



Maybe some vibrant petunias....


Today was the day I told myself I had to get back into the habit of posting about how to look for inspiration or what I'm thinking of making.  I see inspiration everywhere but, always seem to have to focus on other things like work, house, family, friends.  I'll be sharing photos of what's on my back burner soon.  When I can't create an art quilt, I resort to sketching and/or taking photos.  This seems to quickly satisfy my need to capture something of beauty.

I'll be posting soon again.  My goal is before the end of the week.  Keep checking back...

Until next time......
